Craven, who had gone east to see her
daughter, told her about her new step
father.
How did your mother tell you about

A Schooner Reaches Shore After a Hard
Passage

Passage
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S-Word
was received today by John Pren that
the schooner Lizzie Prien had arrived
at Nehalen after beating about near the
coast for twenty ays. The vessel was
supposed to have been wrecked or drv-
en- ashore somewhere, with her crew in
starving condition. and the federal au-
thorities were on the point of sending
out a revenue cutter.
The Lizzie Prien left this port on June
for the coast of Washington, in com
mand of Capt. Inglebretsen. and with a
crew of five men. on July the schoon-
er got near enough to send a boat with
the message that she only had water suf-
ficient for four days and that the supply
of provisions had run low. At that time
the captain expected to reach his desti-
nation in a few days, so no fresh sup
plies We're taken on. Few particulars
came from Nehalen, but it is thought
the crew suffered great hardships.
