Narrow Escape of the
SWanmOre.
OFTEN DRlFTED INSHORE.
Rescued From the Breakers by
a Coast Steamer
AND TowED OUT TO SEA AGAIN.
Now That All Perils Are Past There
Will Be a Controversy
Over Salvage.

ASTORIA. Or. Nov. 19.-Tle British
bark Swanmore, 1871 tons, in ballast.
twenty-one days from San Francisco, ar
rived at 80 o'clock this afternoon. Cap
tain Greenbaum has an interesting story
10 ell of the narrow escape of his vessel
from going ashore near Cape Falcon. or
False Tillamook. early yesterday morning.
The Swanmore arrived off the lightship
about O'Clock Saturday afternoon, and
finding no tug or pilot stood off to the
southwark, wind having sprung up from
the northeast. Early Sunday morning the
wind died way and the Swanmore found
herself enveloped in thick fog, and be-
ing unable 20 locate their bearings the
navigstors were completely lost until they
were startled to hear a noise that always
causes the sailors blood to run cold-the
roaring OF the breakers on the beach. The
anchor was at once dropped and thirty
five fathoms of chain run out. here they
remained until $50 o'clock when light
off-shore wind sprung up and the bark's
anchor was slipped. They stood directly
off shore for eight miles and the wind
again failed them. Again the vessel
dr.fted toward the breakers, and their
dull, roaring sound was plainly audible,
Swanmore was headed for the open sea.
By this time the fog had lifted and the
crew of the Swanmore could easily dis
tinguish the rugged and perpendicular
cliff of Cape Falcon. AT o'clock they
were nearly eight miles off shore. when
they were again becaImsd and drifted
shoreward. Nearer and nearer the ireach-
erous land swell carried them, until the
H. hy.a
directly off the worst part of the rugged
headland. She was drifting SLOWLY ashore
and the boats were already filled with the
effects of the crew. ready the moment the
vessel struck TO clear away and attempt
to get to shore through the surf.
Assistance was at hand, however, for
the little steam coaster Harrison doomed
up to the south. The crew of the steamer
had evidently noticed the Swanmore's sig
nails of distress, for they were bearing
down on her under full head Of steam.
The Swanmore was inside the second line
of tumbling breakers and dangerously near
the third when the Harrison managed to
get hold of steel bawser from the vessel.
By this time the roar of the breakers was
deafening and the swell was running
shorewards with terrible force, and when
the line was pulled taut and the little
steamer started with her heavy tow her
bits were nearly torn from her deck.
1t was long and hard struggle at first,
but the Harrison fin llv got the bark free
frcm the breakers. and towing her fully
ten miles off shore dropped her. This
morning she was opposite the mouth of
the river and was picked up by tug and
brought inside. CAPTAIN Schrader of the
Harrison claims that no bargain was
made; in fact there was no time for
striking bargains. On the other hand.
Captain Green baum of the Swanmore
claims that bargain was made for the
sum of 5000.

this time after careful preparation, again ST
a representative OF the Quaker City. at
tracted crowd of $500 people to the At
lantic Clubs arena here. Inspector Nc
Kelvey and Captain Clayton. with forty
of the Brooklyn police. were on hand at s
o'clock to prevent recurrence of knock
outs.
The first bout was between Jerry Barren
of New York and Billy Murphy of Aus
tralia. 1t was declared draw.
The next bout was between Paddy Me-
Bride and johnny German of Long Island.
In the fifth round the fight was stopped
by the police. The referee gave his deci-
sion in favor of German.
There was long delay before the con-
test of the evening was called. The men
looked fit to fight for their lives when they
entered the ring. They were weighed in
at 138 pounds. and McAuliffe looked a
very different man from what he was the
night he fought young Critic. He was
seconded by Jimmy Nelson, Con Nc
Auliffe and Jack Sheelyan. Zeigler's
hackers were Charley White of New Y ork
and Hugh Kennedy and Billy Hamilton
of Philadelphia.
Round 1-Zsigler at once proceeded to
mix matters, and the Philadelphian's stOc ok
went up great many points. Honors
were easy at the close of the round.
Round 2-McAuliffs led with his left and
the Quaker clinched. McAuliffe swung
wild and got a left-hand swing from
Zeigler in return. McAuliffe led with his
right and landed. countered by Zeielpr.
Zeigler led with the right. hut fell short
a rapid exchange followed. Zeigler landed
with the left and followed it with body
bow. McAulffe then landed a singer on
the face and the round ended In a clinch.
Something seemed to 60 wrong with Nc
Auliffe's hand in this round.
Round 3-The men opened up fierceIy,
and while McAuliffe punched his man fire.
Quehtly, Zeigler continued to mix matters
and h0nors were even. Ii anything, the
Philadelphian had shade the better of it.
Fighting became so fierce that the police
interiered and stopped further proceed
ings. The referee declared the fight a
draw.
After the contestants left the ring it
was discovered that McAuliffe had broken
two small bones in his left wrist. 1t was
claimed this was done in the second round
and it was probably when he landed a
heavy blow on the QGaker's shoulder.

RIGHT OF INVENTORS
To Secure Foreign as Well as
American Patents.
In This Case the Status of rlany
Valuable Devices Is at
Stake.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The argument
In the United States Supreme Court in tie
case Of the Bate RefrigeTating Company
against Ferdinand SulZberger s. Co., which
has aroused so much interest because of
the far-reaehing effect that the decision
may have on the lives OF American patents,
including Bell telephone patents, wherever
foreign patents have first been issued, was
closed to-day by james C. Carter OF New
York, who appeared fer the Bate Com
pany. MIR. Carter in his argument to-day
pared the acts of 1886, 1889 and 1870
with section 1887 of the Revised S atutes,
aud dwelt at length on the intention of
Congress.i in the enactment of these stat
utes. He commended for liberal rather
than literal Interpretation of the law 10
the case, and argued that a system which
would offer a reward for a service and
then abrdge it for such a reason as the
defense commended for in the present case
would be dishonest. BE contended that ii
was preposterous for the Government
20 impose the penalty of the loss
of the three most useful years of an
American patent because foreign Gov
ernment had been more expeditions in
granting patent, when the fault for this
delay rested with the American Govern
ment itself. To protect his patent abroad
the inventor applies for a foreign patent.
and in so doing cannot well imagine that
if the foreign patents should be issued In
advance of his American patents his rights
IN his own country will be abridged or that
any damage would arise to his interests.
Previous o 1876. when Mr.. Bate applied
for his patent, Mr.. Carter claimed that no
hostility had ever been shown by the
American patent system to the obtaining
Of patents abroad. Ga the contrary, that
practice, while never discouraged, had
been distinctly encouraged since 1886 by
American law. both because it furnished
an additional stimulus to the inventor and
prevented that disadvantage to American
users which comes from their being under
the burden of a royalty when the foreign
users are exempt from it.
