than two miles off his course. There
is a breakwater running two miles
out from the harbor entrance, and the
vessels coming down the coast from
Puget Sound pass from five to 10
miles outside. The chances are that
the vessel ran down close to the
coast and into the angle made by this

for if it had been far enough out
to pass the breakwater it would have
been far enough out to get past the
