TRAPPED IN HOLD
AS SHIP CAPS|zES
Twenty-Five Men May Have Per-
ished Off Oregon
Shore.
SEES FIGURES ON HULL
Victims Cut Way Through; Heavy
Sea Blocks the
Rescue.

Bay City, Oregon, April T.
Twenty-Five men, including the
ships captain, the president of a
wrecking company of Portland, and
the representative of the Marine
Underwriters, were trapped in the
hold of the German ship Mimi,
which capsized off the beach here
early yesterday after having been
hauled off a reef on which she had
been fast two months. How many
persisted is not known. Figures
were seen on the bottom of the
wreck at dark. 1t was supposed
they had cut their way out.
A heavy sea was pounding the
wreck and lifesavers refused to at
tempt a rescue until it Gained. They
said no boat could be launched and
refused to let volunteers take their
boat.
The lifesavers are camped on the
beach watching for a chance to
reach the wreck.
The Mimi, in ballast, for Valpa-
raise, from Astoria, piled up on the
reef on Feb. 10 last. 1t was not SER
iously injured and the underwriters
contracted with Charles S. Fisher of
a Portland construction company to
float 1t. Fisher, his secretary and
seven riggers, Capt. w. E. Crow,
representative of the underwriters;
Captain Westfall of the Mimi, and
eleven of his men were aboard the
ship when it capsized. All were be-
low decks when it turned over, it is
thought, as no bodies or survivors
have reached shore.
The Mimi was hauled off the
rocks at high tide last night. 1t
was determined to take it to deep
water at once and it was at anchor
off the beach when the rising wind
and sea whirled it over.
Lifesavers fought all day to reach
her without success. After they had
given it up and as darkness was
falling, the men on the wrecks bot
tom appeared. They had been trap
ped in the hold and lived on the
air which kept the vessel afloat I'M
til they cut their way out.
Seas were sweeping the wreck at
dark. Wreckage was seen about
and it was feared she was break
ing up. Whether the men aboard
can hold on until the sea abates and
the .lifesavers reach them cannot be
told. The hull is low in the water
and may sink from sight when the
tide rises.
