day as the result of colliding with the
end of Howard street wharf Captain
Bowman miScalculated the strength of
the tide, and the stern of the Sequoia

be ascertained without a more thor
ough survey than was made yesterday
by Captain Bowman and his engineers.

aged, but the starboard engine, it is
believed, will have to be thoroughly
work with proper precision. Captain

accident to Colonel BidJle, under whose
charge the Sequoia is.

Schooner AIvena's Rough Trip
With its cargo Of 100000 feet of lum-
Der shifted to starboard the four masted
last night. The Alvena left the Column
bia river May 2S. 1t had fair sailing
until June /, when, in latitude 40 north
and longitude 126 degrees and 80 min
utes west, 1t ran into terrific north
east gale which threw the vessel on ITS
beam ends. For several hours the YES
sci was at the mercy OF the raging seas,
when suddenly the storm cedseu .lld
the vessel righted itself. Da4I1 o.
tempest the deck cargo shifted and but
for the strong chains that held it the
whole deckload of lumber would have
gone into the sea-
Captain Abrahamson says that in all
the so years he has been going to sea
he has never encountered such a ter
rible squall accompanied by such a sue
cession Of furious waves.
AS suddenly as the gale@struck the
ship, just so suddenly it departed. The
only material damage done to the
schooner was the swashing out of the
captains cabin.
The cargo is consigned to the South
ern Pacific company.
