showed unexpected strength in view of the

"BREAKERS AHEAD"
Narrow Escape for the Bark Andrina
Mt Cape BeaIe.

PORT ANGELES, Wash, Jan. g.
The four masted British bark Andrina,
Capt. B. V. Smith, has arrived here
in tow of the tug Tyee, after a narrow
escape from going ashore on the Van
couver coast, near Cape Beale, on
Jan. 6. The ship was deserted by the
crew and it was only by great good
fortune that she was saved Capt.
Smith says that for four days he had
seen neither sun nor stars, as during
the entire time they were surrounded
by dense fog. At noon Wednesday, a
shout Of breakers ahead" was the first
warning he had of the dangerous DO
sition in which he was placed. A heavy
sea was running at the time, and an
attempt to weather the ship proved
futile. Two anchors were then let go,

the cables parted, leaving her within
100 feet of the shore, and in immediate
danger of parting the other cable.

again put off, and after some difficulty
succeeded in getting aboard. At this
time the ship was out of danger, but
her perilous position was evinced when
an attempt was made to raise the
