Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1914-10-23
Newport

The storm has lasted for more than
week. On Sunday the tide was IL
feet with a steady southwest wind
blowing q gale all day. The storm
got SO bad that the Fifield had to cut
loose from the dock and go further up
the bay. She anchored In what is
known as Browns Bend. below Oys-
terville. The water at this place is
forty feet deep, land locked and safe.
Here she stayed all night and the
next morning tied up at the Yaquina
docks. While in the bend the fisher
mems nets came in contact with the
vessel. There was some swearing, not
among the boatmen, but among the
fishermen. 1t is fine thing to have
such safe harbor where vessels can
seek shelter from the storms and be
secure. The water is ample, the bay
proper has depth OF water all the
way from 1G to 40 feet at low tide for
q distance OF from 8 to 10 miles, and a
width of 1900 yards. This has been
an unusual storm at this season Of the
year. Some say It Is caused by earth
quakes or the European war and
others say 1t is the fulfilling of the
bible and the end OF time is near at
hand. On Sunday a week ago the
vessels were all lined up along the
wharf and a picture taken OF them.
The vessels IN line were the Fiiield,
TiilamoOk, Anwaneda, Mirene, Ollie $.
Gerald G. and the Newport. 1t makes
a very beautiful picture-a good ad-
vertlsement. a. l.. Thomas and NJ.
Wygant took the picture from the bay
in boat.
