the identification of the vessel wrecked.
Careful search will be made for any
! shipwrecked persons on the island.
| Consequently shipping men will anx-
| iously await the Grants return to Taco
ma If the Grant fails to find any trace
! of certain vessels shipping men will still
dare to hope that the vessels may yet
| be heard from in safety The identity of
those which have gone to pieces on these
reefs will certainly be settled beyond a
question. As to the missing British
bark Andrada, which disappeared off
Columbia river, driven to the north, sup
poSedly, by fierce storm after she had
taken pilot aboard, shipping men have
slim hopes that the Grant will find any
trace of her. Being in light ballast, it is
generally though that the Andrada as
did her sister ship, the Andelana, in Ia
coma harbor, capsized and went down.
Shipping men do manifest a hope, how
ever, that the Grant may, peradventure,
run across some of the crew of the An
drada. They base this hope solely upon
the possibility of the vessel having been
driven as far north as Vancouver Island
and having turned turtle in that neigh
borhood, where some of the crew might
have reached the rocky coast. The only
fear manifested is that the Grant herself
may be wrecked on this dangerous voy-
age and that she,3 too, may not return
to tell the story, but may add her tim

Captain Tozier, the Grant stopped at

Captain Roberts, a pilot The latter,
who was for several years in the employ
of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Com
pany, has had some experience with the
vancouver coast, and will be of some
value to the Grant on her voyage. The
only other stop the Grant made after
leaving Tacoma was at Seattle, where
she picked up her surgeon. Upon leav-
ing Victoria she headed directly for the
west coast without delay. How long she
will be gone neither commander nor crew
can even conjecture. She will remain I'M
til her task is completed or she is her
self wrecked.
The revenue cutter Perry, Captain Kill
gore, which started out from Astoria to
search for the Andrada specially, and
which put into Seattle for coal, after
wards breaking a cylinder head, has gone
back to Astoria. The Grant will search
for traces of the Andrada while examin-
ing the coast. When her search has
been completed the Grant will return at
once to, Tacoma, where Captain Tozier
makes his home

The Oopack Sails.

ready to tow ner out OF the narDOT. NO
sooner had the Oopack gotten away from
the wharf than she commenced to roll
to such an extent that it was the re-
mark of all who were on the scene at
the time.
Old waterfront men who noticed the
heavy rolling of the vessel in smooth
water were of the opinion that it was
anything but a good sign, and that if a
typhoon ever hit the Oopack on her way
to the Philippines things were apt to go
badly with her.
| Much was said in regard to this and
those who ought to know a little con-
corning ships said that the transport was
ltop-heavy. She certainly looked it, and
she was very high out of the water when
she sailed away.
There was considerable good-natured
badinage between the officers aboard the
Oopack and the captain of the tug Fear
less on account of the stupidity of the
Oopack's Chinese crew. When the
transport cast loose from the wharf, her
stern line got entangled in her screw
and it took some little time to get por-
ton of the line clear. A part of the line
went to sea mixed up in the blades of
the propeller.
While the line was entangled in the
screw and a gang of Chinese on the
deck of the vessel had hold of the end
of the line, trying to haul it in, the
screw suddenly commenced to churn the
| line around it's blades; this brought all
| of the Chinese to the deck on their
| hands and knees and nearly frightened
| the life out of them.
| About 4:30 p. m. the Fearless left the
| Oopack at the end of the channel and
the transport steamed away on her voy-
age to Manila via Guam.

Grant Sails on a Perllous Voyage.

The United States revenue cutter
Grant, Captain d. F. Tozier, arrived in
Tacoma a little while ago. She took on
a large amount of coal for her own con-
sumption and Immediately thereafter
sailed for Barclay Sound, on one of the
most perilous cruises ever undertaken by
a revenue cutter or any other craft, and
the revenue cutters have undertaken
many perilous voyages in the past.
Twenty-Five vessels now due at Puget
Sound and neighboring Pacific Coast
ports are overdue and missing Ship
ping men believe them all to have been
driven to the far north by the severe
gales which have ragged on the ocean.
Reports brought down by Alaskan
steamers are to the effect that the rocky
reef-bound, barren west coast of Van
couver Island is almost a mass of the
wreckage of vessels which have been
driven on the reefs and dashed to pieces
by the waves. Shipping men believe it
possible that some of the crews of these
wrecked vessels may have reached the
island in safety and may even now be
living on what may be found to subsist
upon in places where no vessel ever goes
So repeated have become the reports
OF this wreckage that the Treasury De-
partment at Washington recently decid-
ed to send a revenue cutter north to
make an investigation. 1t was recognize
ed that the voyage would be dangerous
ohe, ioI III no way can the coast be eX-
ahmed except by anchoring the Grant
| three or four miles off the shore and go
ing in small boat or launch to the
rocks and reefs to make the examine
| ton. Officers of the revenue cutter SER
vice have been through too many peril
Gus undertakings in the interests of the
Government and humanity to for a mo-
ment shrink from any task, and when
| Captain Tozier received orders for the
Grant to prepare for this voyage there
was no shrinking on the part of either
officers or crew.
The Grant viii search the entire west
coast OF the island infinitely, going as far
north as Cape Scott and even farther
than the cape If there is the least re-
port of wreckage beyond OF the least pos
sioiilty of any shipwrecked mariner
| awaiting rescue. Literally, every square
men OF the coast will be searched. Ev-
| cry piece of wreckage which strews the
rocks will be carefully examined for
any possible mark which might lead to
