ACCIDENT TO THE NORTH PACIFIC. The
North Pacific met with n serious acct
dent on her trip across the Straits
on the 10Th inst, and her owners may
find cause for congratulation that she
was not total wreck if all the reports
are true. 1t appears that on the after
noon of that day she entered San Juan
harbor during heavy gale, having on
board number of tons of Government
freight and sixty five head of cattle. She
cast two anchors, but dragged for about
a mile, when she steamed ahead and
struck on sunken rock smashing the
timbers in her bow. There she re-
manned for several hours, in q danger
Gus position, the waves raising and
humping her on the rocks SO heavily
that the cattle had to be thrown over
board to tighten her. The passen-
gers were landed, and force of car
penters constructed q bulk head, while
the Steamer Isabel, in the port of Vic
toria was telegraphed to come to her
assistance. Soon as she arrived, sail
was placed under the bow, and both
vessels proceeded 70 Victoria. The
damage to the North Pacific is estimated
at $1,000. She is now on the ways I'M
dergoing repairs.
