BIG BARGE GOES TO PIECES
Large Amount Of Lumber On Beach

Barge Went to Pieces on

ASTORIA, Ore-The finding OF
scattered pieces of lumber adrift near
James island and the appearance OF
a large amount of lumber on the
beach at Cape Johnson Sunday added
to the belief that the missing barge
w. J. Pirrie has gone to pieces on the
rocks with her burden of "a people.
The wireless station at North Head
was in communication with the cut
ter Snohomish and the setamer Santa
Rita, both of which were continuing
the search for the lost craft The
Santa Rita said the beach at Cape
Johnson had the appearance of being
covered with lumber, but the sea
was too rough to permit the steamer
to run close enough definitely to as
certain this.
The Santa Rita patrolled the coast
up and down all day, but saw no
signs of the pirrie. The Snohowish
had sighted few pieces of lumber
afloat not far from James island,
but reported the seas so rough she
was unable to run in and determine
whether or not there were any per-
sons on shore.
Two Ships Search for Missing.
The lumber on the beach was re-
ported to resemble in color that
loaded at mills near Tacoma by the
Pirre before it started on its i'll
fater journey to the west coast of
South America in tow of the steamer
Santa Rita. The cutter Snohomish

ing the coast from Neah bay to the
