DRAGGED ON LOG
LINE DURING
ASTORM
First Officer of Schooner
John G. North Is Swept
From Deck of Vessel
HOLDS TO CORD IN
MIDST OF BELLOWS

C. Schroeder. first officer OF the
schooner John G. North. had a thrill
ing experience during that vessels re-
cent trip down the coast.
He fell overheard. and as he fell he
grabbed the log line. and for two
hours held onto the cord while the
ship sped swiftly onward.
Schroeder was buneted about by the
seething pillows, and dashed here and
there until he was hauled safely on
board again.
The accident took place on New
Years day. when the schooner was off
Cape Blanco, when she ran into
terrible hurricane. which nearly threw
the vessel onto her beam ends.
Schroeder was trying to cross the deck.
when wave struck the craft and
swept him over the stern. AS he
plunged into the sea he grabbed the
log line. He shouted for help, but
the fury of the gale drowned his cries.
The captain and crew were so busily
engaged in trying TO right the vessel
that the plight of Schroeder was not
noticed, and two hours elapsed before
they began to look for him.
Meanwhile the storm had somewhat
abated and the vessel had been prop
erly trimmed. Search for the missing
mate began and a faint cry was heard
over the stern. Captain Nelson, rush
ing back, was astonished to see
Schroeder trailing on behind the ship.
clinging to the log line.
The schooner was hove to and
Schroeder hauled on deck. He was al
most exhaused, but after few hours
rest was able to resume his duties.
When he arrived here yesterday he APP
peared to be none the worse for his
dreadful experience.
The storm found by the schooner
lasted about ten hours, and Captain
Nelson says 1t was the worst he ever
experienced on this coast.
During the gale the deck load OF
lumber was more or less shifted
The North was eight days making
the run from Cosmopolis to this port.
She brought 400 900 feet of lumber.
