Churchin's Narrow Squeeze.
When the schooner Churchill came
off the marine ways yesterday the skip
per started to hoist sail and go out
without the aid of pilot or tug Instead
of hauling his sheets well aft TO begin
with, he allowed them to stuff off and
the schooner was almost on the seawall,
on the Eva side of the harbor. before
he had fattened down and put his
helm enough alec to work the unload
ed vessel a certain degree up in the
wind
As she went out through the harbor
i, entrance it was seen that she was go
ing recklessly to leeward. She barely
scraped number seven black mark and
just managed to clear number five.
Then she went clean out Of the harbor
channel and barged through the break
ers, passing number three mark well TO
leeward and finally reaching the open
sea after going through what looked
like certain destruction. The fact that
the tide was high and the schooner
drew only about seven feet of water
was all that saved her from certain
destruction

In the opinion of Captain R. L. Sal
ter of the British bark Matterhorn,
which foundered several weeks ago in a
storm off Cape Flattery, the missing
| bark Brodick Castle met similar fate.

| from Astoria. The vessel was loaded

i was bound for Ipswich, the same desti-
nation as that of the bark which went
| down a few weeks ago. A day before
the Brodick Castle sailed storm sim
liar in severity to that which keeled
over the Matterhorn occurred, and the
vessel was never sighted after she put
| out to sea, and has been posted as miss
ing at Lloyd 's.-Chroniele, Dec. Is.
