This is even less than the treas

Badly. Battered

Portland, Orc, April 3.-(AP)-
Five ships and two coast guard yes
sells in the north Pacific today were
fighting the aftermath of q batter
ing storm which made itself felt
from northern Oregon to central
California. One of the ships was
f 'hting IRE aboard.
Beyond the breakers, somewhere
north Of Heceta, Ore, five coast
guardsmen were adrjft in a 36-foot
power launch, without gasoline and
depending on their sails. The men,
commanded by Captain Lyle Slit,
were forced to sea Saturday, when
they went to the aid of the distressed
schooner Helen B. Sterling.
Somewhere beyond Heceta Head,
the Sterling was in tow of the coast
guard cutter Haida. The Sterling
lost half of her gear, had her canvas
stripped away and lost her rudder in
the terrific storm.
The steam schooner Ernest NJ.
Meyer sent out q message indicating
she was in danger off the Columbia
river. She was taking aboard more
water than she could hold, the mes
sage said, and was heading back to
harbor.
Fire Increases Danger
A fire added to the difficulties Of
the freighter Jane Nettleton, at
tempting to ride out the storm off
the south Oregon coast. She car
ried a crew Of 32 men and had a
deck load Of piling. The oil tanker
Kewanee messaged at midnight she
was leaving the Ncttleton as the
freighter's crew apparently had the
blaze under control
Somewhere toward the north the
four.masted X. v. kruse was be-
lieved making run for shore with
her provisions gone and her sails in
tatters. She has crew of Is. The
cutter Snohomish was breasting the
seas and terrific wind in search Of
the Kruse. No word was received
from either vessel.
Storm warnings were displayed
along. the coast from Seattle to San
Francisco, heralding the gale which
brought snow to Parts Of Oregon and
northern California and further rises
in many streams which already have
been swollen by recent rains.
