! while chasing Gorden and his el
bow struck a stone causing him to

j discharging the shot.

a short distance to the afterpart of
the “Laurel,” and rescued eight of
the crew as they leaped from the
ship into the boiling sea, and were
pulled aboard the life boats.
The men were not brought ashore
as the rescue work is still in pro
gress and it is not known whether
all aboard the Laurel were on the
after half of the vessel when it
broke in twain.
The gale also disabled the steam
er Multnomah bound from Port
land to San Francisco with lumber
and passengers. The passengers
were taken off the vessel by the
Pilot Schooner and brought to As
toria. The crew stayed aboard.
The ship got into trouble about the
