BARKENTINE LIES
IN VENTURA SURF
P0RTLAND'S MASTER URGES
THAT TUG BE SENT
Messenger Speeds From Santa Monica
to Point Dume-Heavy Fog
Responsible for the
Drifting
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, June 19.-The barken-
tine Portland, with large cargo of
lumber from Astoria, oregon, bound for
San Pedro, is ashore being pounded ito
pieces by an angry surf at Hueneme,
Ventura county.
Early this morning the manager of
the Wilmington Transportation COM
pany, of this city, received a message
from Capt. John l.. Clark, master of
the barkentine Portland, dated at
Hueneme, a small place about so miles
up the coast where there is a wharf
and telegraph office, that his vessel had
gone ashore about q mile above the
light house there.
The Portland has a cargo of 100000
feet of lumber which was taken on at
Astoria and had been about 10 days on
the way en- route for this port
In his message to the transportation
company here the master of the vessel
stated that he thought the ship could
be pulled off by a strong tug and asked
that the tug Warrior be sent at once.
The Warrior is not here at present,
having taken a barge load of steel
rails to Point Dune, above Santa
Monica, for the Malibu road.
nuSH d messenger
AS there is no wire connection with
the place messenger was sent from
Santa Monica to proceed as fast as
possible and have the tug go to the
rescue.
The shore from Hueneme to Ventura,
on which the barkentine has drifted,
is a long beach, similar to Redondo,
and If the vessel is not taken off at
once she will pc pounded to pieces.
The captain reported that he was un-
able to see his way at all in the heavy
fog which prevailed there at the time,
hence the accident. The point on which
he has drifted is not a dangerous one
because of rocks but that particular
locality is dangerous because of the fact
that there are so many fogs there and
that it is very narrow channel be-
tween there and Anacapa island to the
west.
AS the shore of the island is very
rough and several vessels have gone
onto its rocks in times past, the mas
ters of vessels which ply along there
invariably hug the shore of the main
land.
Some years ago the steamer Yayuima,
loaded with dynamite, went ashore only
a short distance south of where. the
Portland nov is and she never was
gotten away. The crew got away in
small boats at the time, as it was ex-
pected the dynamite would explode, but
it failed.

THREATENS WIFE
WITH SUICIDE
W. P. SlPES USES RUSE TO
SEE WIFE
Buys chloroform and Knife and Then
Sends Mrs. Slpes Note Declaring
Intention Of seIf-De-
struction

Because his wife, who disappeared
from his home, 1914 East Sixth street,
last Thursday and was located at the
Home Of the Good Shepherd Monday
night, refused to see him, William p.
Sipes threatened to end his life with
chloroform and jack knife with a
long blade which ne had procured for
this purpose.
Detective Redman was called to the
home and took the man to the police
station but could not detain him be-
cause he had offered no harm to any
one but himself and there was no in
sanity complaint.
The officers say that Sipes may be
slightly demented and that he has
twice tried to kill his wife. The last
time, about three years ago in Mchi-
gan when he shot at her, he then
swore that he would never again carry
gun and so far as is known has not
done so since that time. According to
the police domestic trouble was the
cause of Mrs. Sipes leaving home.
After searching for four days for his
wife Sipes finally located her at the
Home of the Good Shepherd Monday
night. He was not allowed to see her
Wnen ne called because she was said
to be asleep.
Writes Her a Note
Yesterday he again went to see her
and she sent word to him that she did
not care to see him. He then wrote
the following note:
Dear May-Please come and see me.
You do not know how 1 feel about
this. You have fooled me. am heart
broken and if you will not come and
see me l will end myself here. You
will not have to go with me. 1 will
not even ask you to. 1 will not hurt
you, for you can have me searched if
you want to. Please do come and see
me, May. From WILL.
you can save me or kill me just
now. 1 have poison with me. If you
refuse me my life is done, so please
come"
When searched the man was found
to have a bottle of chloroform and a
jack knife. He will not be arrested un-
less complaint is asked by some COM
petent person.
