Portland. Ore. Eighty men, women
and children, coastwise passengers
and crew. on the thrce-masted steam
schooner Francis II. Leggett, were
drowned when the Leggett, was
pounded TO pieces in a gale, sixty
miles below the mouth of the Colum-
bia river. Two men were picked up
by passing steamers and carried to
Astoria and Portland to tell how the
sea tore the vessel to pieces, and how
the passengers were drowned a boat
load at time, as the lifeboats put
off or met their fate, little later
when the vessel turned completely
over.
Alexander Farrell, the only survivor
to reach land thus far. also recounted,
how, in the height of the storm. Capt.
J. Jensen OF San Francisco, a passen-
ger, who lost his own ship six months
ago, and for months succeeding was
marooned on an uninhabited island,
came to the aid of Captain Moro of
the Leggett. took command of the pas
sengers and controlled her until she
sank, taking him with her. How the
quiet passengercaptain came to as
sumo charge Farrell could not say nor
did he make clear exactly the part
played by the wireless during the
storm.
1t remained indisputable and mat
ter of wonder among shipping men
that the schooner on a route alive
with ships, raised only one boat--the
japanese cruiser Idzumo-with her
wireless. ard sank many hours before
any craft reached her position. The
steamer Beaver, which caught the Id
zuno's report OF the Leggett's distress
and brought the passenger Farrell
here. said that the Idzumo gave nc
position for the distressed vessel. She
asked for more details. but got no re
sponse from the warship.
