Port Townsend. wash. Dec. 26.-The
arrival Of the steamer strathneyis, af-
ter she had been given up as lost ex-
cited surprise among shipping men
here, but grave fears are entertained
for the safety of the Australian
steamer Mlowera. which had the
Strathnevis in tow I'VE days. on the
day before the Strathnevis was taken
in tow. Captain Patie and his officers.
drifting to the southwark, decided to
head for San Francisco or set out for
some port in California. on the next
day the Miowera hove in sight and
the plan was changed, improvlsed
yards were placed on the masts and
all the spare canvass awnings were
utilized for sails. About the time WI en-
the gales were severe the wind tore the
sails into shreds. During the time the
Strathnevis was udrift and disable
she encountered continuous gales and
heavy seas. The vessel lay almost oil

that she would abandon them I'm

miles from a port on dangerous
coast and In gale from the west.
The captain Of the Australian steamer
said he would have to return TO the
Sound for fuel. as the supply he had
on hand would not last for the voyage
TO Australia.
Another remarkable and very
strange feature about the Miowera IA
that when her hawser appeared fhe
did not blow any danger signal. The
