Captain Still Aboard Wreck at Columbia River
At Astoria Oregon June 18 UP a salvage bid kept Captain Louis Johnson aboard the Laurel the steamer wrecked near Peacock Spit at the Columbia River mouth. He spurned rescue pleas and prepared a freeze out while 30 crewmen were evacuated in groups. Russell Smith 19 of Worcester Mass died after the ship ran aground in a Sunday storm. Coast guardsmen struggled to reach Captain Johnson who remained with access to the galley for food and water as orders to abandon grew. A rising tide blocked relief attempts from the Redwing cutter due to low light.
