Shiptowed Back After Sea Crash
The Hammond Lumber Company steamer Samoa, disabled in a collision with the Coos Bay Lumber Company's steamer Coos Bay, was towed to Los Angeles Harbor on the night of June 5th by the latter vessel. The collision was of the head-on variety and took place at sea at 1 a.m., June 5th, off Point Concepcion, which is 100 miles north of Los Angeles. No one was injured.
The Samoa, a 2lo-foot steel freighter of 1172 net tons, was built at Duluth in 1918. She is in command of Captain H. F. Ollson and sailed from Tillamook, Wash., in ballast. The Coos Bay is 386 feet long, of 3176 net tons, was builtin Maryland in 1909 and formerly was the navy collier Pyro. She was en route from Coos Bay to Los Angeles with 2,500,000 feet of lumber.
The Samoa's engine room was put out of service, she lost two life boats and sustained other damage. The damage to the Coos Bay appears to have been nominal.
