Wyoming. Perry and Paul Jones
Anchor for . Time at the Foot
OF Eleventh Street.
WENT ON TO PORTLAND
One Seaman Lost During Pas.
sage From Bremerton Navy
Yard to the Columbia
River.

The warships have come and the
warships have gene. In spite of the
reputed enthusiasm and patriotism oi
the people OF Astoria. they refused to
remain anchored of the city Ions
enough to give the citizens chance
for inspection. However. the chance
win come soon.
without the aid Of bar pilot the
monitor wyoming and the torpedo boat
destroyers Paul Jones and Perry en-
tered the Columbia river at an early
hour yesterday and made their way to
Astoria. They anchored at the foot
of Eleventh street. and crowd was
soon at the wharf making an inspec-
tion Of the boats from distance. Then
the warships started for Portland.
where they arrived safely at an early
hour last evening.
viii Coal at Astoria.
The vessels will remain in Portland
until after the Fourth of July celebra-
tion. Then they will return to As
toria to coal before going to sea. At
that time the people Of Astoria will
have a chance TO inspect the boats to-
their hearts content. The wyoming
is an excellent type of coast defense
vessel. She has two 12-inch guns in
her primary battery, and her secondary
battery is such as is usually carried
on monitors. The Perry and Paul
Jones are first class torpedo boat de-
stroyers, built for speed and service
All three vessels, while small in COM
parison with the great battleships, are
very seaworthy and can weather the
hardest storm. During a heavy sea
the deck of the Wyoming is entirely
under water. In this fact lies the sue
cess of monitors; they present to an
enemy hard target to hit.
Accident on the Voyage.
During the passage from Bremerton
navy yard there occurred two Incl
dents. After having passed Cape
Flattery a seaman by the name of
Mardich was found to be missing from
the Paul Jones. AS soon as the COM
mander of the Paul Jones was noti-
fled he ordered the vessel turned back,
and an unsuccessful search was made
for the man. There was a heavy sea
running at the time and it is probable
that the man was washed overheard
and drowned. Early in the morning
the Paul Jones also sighted life buoy
and it was picked up. 1t was found
to be the buoy of the Wyoming, a pat
ent affair valued at $1,000, and it was
returned to the wyoming after their
arrival at this port

that conditions are ideal for crops if a
