BADLY SHAKEN UP.
Four Masted Schooner Witzemann
Caught in a Hurricane.

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 12.-The
America four -masted schooner Will
lam T. Witzemann, Captain Olsen, was
towed into harbor here this morning in
a badly dilapidated condition The
scho ,.ler left the Sound November Both
with lumber from Tacoma for San
Francisco. From the time the schooner
left Cape Flattery on December 1st
she encountered heavy weather. On
the night of the 9th. and when off the
mouth Of the Columbia River the gale
increased to a hurricane, and the entire
night the storm ragged without cessa-
tion, breaking off and carrying away
the main and mizzanmasts, leaving
only the mast and stump and ten
feet of the jigger-mast. During the
night the schooner shipped all the
water she would hold, and her lumber
cargo was all that prevented her from
sinking.
The rext morning the few sails re-
naming were rugged on the foremast.
and the schooner headed back to the
Straits of Fuca, where she was yeSter-
day picked up by the tug Tyee. Not
a door remains in the schooner's house,
every one having been broken off and
washed away. The exact amount of
damage sustained by the schooner can
not be learned until she is hauled out.

A LIGHTSHIP ADRIFT.
She is Towed to Astoria After Mar
rowly Escaping Being Wrecked.

ASTORIA (Or), Dec 12-Lightship
No. 6l, for the second time in three
weeks, was towed into the harbor this
evening by the lighthouse tender Man
zanita. She had a very narrow escape
from wreckng on North Beach during
heavy blow last night, and both yes
sells were driven dangerously near
Clatsop Spit this afternoon.
The tug Relief went down early this
morning and with the Manzanita beat
about until daylight. 1t was IL O'Clock
before they could cross out, the Relief
getting out first. The lightship was
then ten miles north of her station and
four miles off the cape. She was under
steam and slowly making her own way
to the harbor The Manzanita passed
her hawser and took her in tow. At
l o'clock, while crossing in the haw-
ser snapped, throwing the Manzanita
into the trough of a nasty sea. The
parted hawser became tangled in the
wheel of the lightship, rendering her
helpless. For a few minutes it seemed
that both vessels would be thrown into
Clatsop Spit near the jetty.
BY tremendous exertion and heroic
work on the part of the crew of both
vessels, the hawser of the lightship was
passed to the Manzanita and the dam
gerous voyage again commenced. They
slowly made their way into the lower
harbor. when again the hawser broke
near Fort Stevens. Once more tow
line was patched up and at o:45 the
lightship dropped one of her small an
chors abreast Of Smiths point, where
she now lies in safety.

his attention was called to the fact
that Senator Hoar had presented Pc

who opposed annexation.
