SHIP IN THRILLING
ADVENTURE AT SEA
Schooner Edward R. West Es-
capes From Destruction on
Rocks as by Miracle
Crew and Passengers Take to
Boats When Near Breakers,
but Vessel Floats Away

The schooner Edward r. West, Cap
tain Smith, which arrived yesterday
from Newcastle, Australia. brought a
thrilling story of sudden and fear
full peril, the hasty abandonment of a
doomed ship and miracle by which / 1
men and woman on the ocean at mid
night in an open boat had their COM
Iortabie floating home restored to them
unharmed. It all happened within a
few miles of the Golden gate.
1t was about 10 o'clock Wednesday
night that the West so narrowly escaped
obstruction. There was no wind. A
dense fog enveloped the schooner and
the only sounds were the flap of can
vas and the rattle of blocks as the
schooner tumbled on the oily swell.

ordered Captain Smith. Mrs. Smith,
who sails, with her husband and is a
true sailors wife, realized the danger,
but instead of fainting rushed to the
cabin and brought on. deck an armful
of blankets. The boat was launched
with all but Captain Smith on board.
He stayed with the schooner until the
next big swell picked up the vessel and
prepared with ferocious deliberation to
hurl 1t on the rocks. The captain
jumped then into the boat and gave
the order to shove off.
There she goes said somebody.
But she didn't. 1t was then that the
miracle happened. A little puff of wind.

schooner paid off and unaided by hu-

schooner was standing out to sea-

used as an instrument to swerve the

passports on October 80. The affair
entered largely into the arguments of
