ALL ON BOARD
THOUGHT SAVED
When Pacific Liner Congress Burned OFF
Oregon Coast-There Were 423
People on Steamer

Nlarshfield, Ore, Sept l5.-Fire last
night completely destroyed the Pacific
Coast company's liner Congress two
miles off Cross Bay bar. Several ves-
sells, which rushed to her assistance in
response to distress calls, helped re.
move her 253 passengers and crew of
10. 1t is believed that no lives were
lost, although this will not be established
beyond a doubt until all boats which
went to the scene have returned here.
When the dredge Niche and the gas
schooner Tillamook reached the Congress
they found the liner almost completely
shrouded in smoke. and the passengers
fighting frantically to enter the lifeboat.
Despite the stress of the situation, how
ever, Captain n F. Cousins and his crew
managed to maintain control and the
work of transferring the people aboard
to the rescue vessels was carried out in
an orderly manner.
Before the last boat load. in which
was Captain Cousins, left the Congress,
the smoke and heat were almost unbear-
able. Flames we're shooting out Of the
ships ventilators and up the passage
ways.
Soon after the flames enveloped her
from stem to stern, lighting the sky
10 a crimson hue. With the wind and
tide the steamer then began drifting
n toward the spit of Coos bay.

for disappearing being that he was un-
able to pay his debts,
Mr.. Barrett drove to Ludlow Monday

butter and eggs. After disposing OF his
produce he met Jerry Buckley, young
man living on neighboring farm, and
asked him to drive his team home as
he would be detained in Ludlow until
afternoon. He stated that he would
return home on the mail train which
arrives at this station about 30 o'clock.
Mr. Buckley drove the team home, tell
ing Mrs Barrett that her husband would
return few hours later. He did not
notice anything strange in Mr.. Barrstt's
actions during the conversation with him
at Ludlow.
Tuesday morning Mrs. Barrett received
the note mailed at Ludlow, this being
the last word she has had from him. She
fears his mind was unbalanced through
worry over his financial affairs and that
he has made away with himself. Mr..
and Mrs. Barrett have a son, Charles,
who lives at home.
