cago last night. He had received the
order at Washington to leave FOR the

the Pennsylvania road steamed into the
union station with the lieutenant on
board. when the order came Lieutenant
Bcrthlof wired Lieutenant Jarvis at New
Dc,iford who will be one Of the relief
party. to meet him 10 Chicago, when they
were to leave for SEATTLE. The man
whose bravery aad knowledge the stary-
ing whslers may have cause to thank
for slving their lives when they had
given up all hope. was anxious TO b. on
for Seattle. where the revenue cutter
Bear awaits orders to set out, He has
no fears but that the party will reach
the iccbound vessels In time to rescue

summoned to shore duty at Washington.

e. 4. 4. Columbne started down the
river carly this morning to put supplies
aboard the Aghishlp. when much to his
surprise he met her between the whIs-
tllns buoy and the VI. 8. buoy about .
O'Clock. The current In the river was ex-
tremely swift and the llghiship would
probably have had a hard time getting
into port had not the columblne sue
ceoded IN passing her cable TO tow her
In. At $3.50 she tied up TO the buoy
depot at Tongue Point and Captain Has
torff and his men Immediately went to

Wednesday morning. Captain Hastorr's
hands are all swooIen and puffed out

The captain Of the lightshiD reported
that the recent gale or hurricane was
one Of the most severe he had ever seen

she Is a magnificent ssa boat and also
that llgh,ships fitted with steam power
are douby effective. Had she been de-
pendent upon sails alone she never could
have weathered the storm.
A aew mushroom anchor and chain are
now on board the Colunblne and will be
transferred to the llghtship today and
she viii be placed back in her station as
soon as possible.
Much credit IS due Captain Richardson
for his prompt services in getting the
iightship into port and enabling her to
reilt for duty at the earliest moment.

she not been equipped with steam pro-
pelling power.
During the tremendous gale Wednes-
day morning she was sighted by the
steamer State Of California at ? O'Clock.
At 2:15 the big steel cable on her mush-
room anchor snapped in two, and the
lightship was adrift in the storm headed
for the beach. Captain Hastort imme-
diately ordered his signal lights extin-
gulshed put up sailing lights and in less
than twenty minutes had the big engines
running and the propeller working. He
managed to get about and put to sea.
This accounts for the State not being
able to find her again. No. G. got as fan
