of some crippled victim OF the hurri-
cane gales that recently swept the
coast from the Golden Gate to Van
couver Island. The schooner Edward
R. West. waterlogged and with part of
her deckload gone, was towed into port
yesterday by the steamer Olympic.
That the West was afloat at all was
due to the nature of her cargo. Under
the strain of the storm her seams
opened and she rapidly filed as far as
the close-stowed cargo would permit.
Although leaking. the hull served to
hold the cargo together. and. partly
submerged and altogether unmanage-
able. the schooner was afioat rightside
up and with all hands safe when the
Olympic came along.
The Olympic picked up the Edward
r. West on December 70 of Trinidad
The West left Aberdeen November 81

commanded by Captain H. Smith
