BARK CuPICA
She Arrived Safely in Port
After Two Hundred
Days Out.
The Voyage Was the Most Severe
Ever Experienced From Liver
pool to Astoria.

Just before noon Sunday, out of the
sunlit and sparkling waters of the Pa
ciic, the British bark Cupdca was tow
ed into the Columbia and the news was
flashed across from THE cape that the
staunch little bark with her hardy
crew were safe ait last, after 200 days
of tossing and tumbling on the mighty
deep. The bulletin boards were scann-
ed by hundreds of people, unwilling,
many Of them, to believe that the tin
ship, about which so much had been
said of late, was really coming into
port. But she was, and from elevated
points about the city her white sails,
still spread, could be seen as she fol-
lowed the tug, like some tired animal,
scarcely able to keep up. AT 1870 She
was lying ait anchor off the Kinney
dock, and no sooner had THE big weight
dropped into the water than a dozen
boats were alongside, containing
friends of Captain Casson, who were
overjoyed ait his safe arrival. He was
fairly swarmed over by the visitors
who shook him by the hand and ex,
pressed their pleasure at seeing him
safe dn port. Then ne was compelled
to tell the story over and owe again,
of that long, dreary voyage from Liv-
erpool. fraugfhlt with a thousand dam
gers, with nine chances in ten that
port would never be reached.
The vessel Shows plainly the marks
Of a rough voyarge, with moss and
barnacles covering the hull thickly
below the wateTline and thick rust
above. Every particle Of the vessel
shows rough usages-as If neglected
for many months. The sailors were
brown and tired looking, and seemed
greatly pleased to again be able to
set foot on Mother Earth.
Before the Cupica left her dock in
Liverpool Captain Casson stated to the
owner that 1T was a shame to send her
to sea with such a cargo, and his fears
were confirmed the se0ond day out,
when a gale was encountered and the
vessel rolled terribly, as a result Of the
unwieldy cargo she contained. A few
days later another storm vas met,
and for nearly two days she rolled

The British ship Ancona arrived in
Sunday and ATTRACTED no little ntten-
ton as she was towed along the water
front and dropped at anchor opposite
the o. r. and N. dock, Her big round
ed sides and odd-looking deck were
new features In ship construction to
this port, and many people who were
not familiar with tie ship imagined
1t was a powerful man-of-war-prob-
ably from the Oriental a She was
towed up the river yesterday by the
OcklaIham.

made almost to the Columbia river.
Captain Casson came ashore after
his papers had been examined, and was
warmly welcomed by his many friends
here, hot a few of whom had given
him up for dead. He says HE does not
wish to see the vessel again for a
month, but unfortunately, there is no
possibility of his getting away from
his duties. He shows very plainly the
effects of the severe mental strain
through which he passed in n of the
worst passages ever made by amy YES
sci that ever left am English port for
a Pacific coast point.

at the bonded warehouse and made

Yesterday the committee who were
selected to &c along the route of the
Astoria and Columbia River railway
from this city to Goble, and canvas for
the right of way, left on the steamer
Historian at 1870 p. m. The party con-
sisted of G. Wingate, f. L. Parker,
B. s. WoGsley, D. M. Stuart, Max
Young, A. r. Cyrus, M. s. Warren,
VIII A. Warren, Jos. Rilpa, H. B. Fer
guson, Frank Spittle and James Fin
layson.
The Astorian has been well provis-
Toned. There Is plenty Ito eat and
smoke, and and there is a condenser
on board for supplying drinking water.
Maps, profles and notes Of the sur
vey are In readiness, and it will be
but an easy matter Ito run the boat
into a landing, and talk business to
the owners of property. When the
steamer left the dock quite "a large
crowd had copyrighted to see the
committee take their departure, which
Ihed did amid the hearty good wishes
from everyone on the dock. They are
no going on a pleasure trip, but each
and everyone of them is prepared TO
get in and do his best for the good OF
the proposition. 1t will be a pretty
hard customer Who can withstand the
onslaught of the crowd aboard the
Historian.
Capt, Eben Parker, who commands
the steamer Historian, had the bouts
lags raised just before they started,
and they fluttered to the breeze, CIV
ing the steamer with her party a sort
OF picnic appearance. Chairman Win
gate stood in the pilot house as the
steamer left 1.-THE dock. and nearly
Jaused Captain Parker to take a back
5omersault by giving the whistle cord
a sudden and unexpected pull-just

tee expect TO finnish their work as far
as Mayger's, and TO finish the whole
route by Saturday next,
