New Yarn AfIoat About Stanford's
Collision.
ADMIRAL LEAVES ON VOYAGE
Barkentine Georgina Arrives From San
Francisco-Telegraph Breaks Some
HousiY-yolga's Troubles
At An End.

1t il sails that one of the crew of the
barkentine Jane l.. Stanford which was
in collision with an unknown steamer off
this port on the night of Tuesday last,
has declared that he saw the funnel of
the steamer 90 by the board as she
sheered off from the Stanford after the
smashing contact, and upon this hypo.
thesis there were all manner of rumors,
abroad on the street here. yesterday
and last night as to the probable found
ering of the steamer from the effects of
the collision. 1t is not impossible that
such a fate overlook her, of course. but
the facts that she was in sight for an
hour afterward, and that Captain Molle-
stad does not verify the funnel story,
together with the fact that she was
hardly more than an hours run to the
bar and port, and sent up no night
signals of distress, and that any boats
have been reported from here by the
ight-ship nor the pilot schooner, and
that she had only moderate sea to con-
tend with in the event of disaster, 20
to disprove the chance of her loss and
she will be heard of in due course, at
her port of destination. be it San Fran
cisco or elsewhere. She was evidently
anxious to escape Identification by rea-
son of the palpably bad seamanship ex-
hibited by her master, whoever he was.
The barkentine Jane L. Stanford will
be berthed at the Elmore pier today,
where her injuries will be surveyed and
steps taken for her full repair. When
this is done she will 90 to the Clatsop
mill docks for her Australian consign-
ment of lumber. One of her owners will
arrive from San Francisco today, or TO-
morrow, to assist Captain Mollestad in
providing for the repairs. The captain
is, himself, one of her principal owners.
After a conference has been held with
the members of the Bar Pilots Associa-
tion, the United States engineers will
shift the buoys marking the channel over
the Columbia River bar to new channel
which has been located to the south of
the one now in use, where a minimum
depth of "a feet of water has been found.
1t has been shown by the survey which
is nearing completion that the new
channel will be better in every particu-
Jar than that which has been used by
the ships during the past few years. 1t
is deeper and the course to the sea by
that route is no longer.
Colonel S. W. Roessler returned from
an inspection trip at the mouth of the
Columbia river yesterday morning. He
reports that the sounding of the bar
can be completed in couple of days if
the weather does Lot get too rough. The
work would have been finished a week
or two ago had it not been for the con-
tinuous storms which made it necessary
to discontinue operations In making the
survey the engineers are using the
steamer Arago. She is kept close to the
bar, and whenever it is sufficiently
smooth for accurate soundings to be
taken, she goes out. When the water
gets too rough she runs back inside.

has prevailed" said Colonel Roessler,
