ed twenty men, sixteen of whom were
drowned in trying to reach land. The

any line.
The idea of a steam numbering vessel,
to run between Astoria and San Fran
cisco, is taking practical shape. Messrs,
Simpson & Bros. will have the first
steam lumberman ready for trade by
the lst. of February next. 1t is thought
she will run between Astoria and their
mills at Knappton am San Francisco.
Another will be built Immediately there
after on the same stocks.-AStOridn
STEAMBOAT ScHEME.-The Victoria
CoIORiSt speaks thus of the plans of the
new company: Preliminary steps were
taken yesterday for the formation in this
city of Joint stock steamboat company
with cash capital of S5O0,0O0. The
company propose to acquire the boats Of
the Hudson Bay Company and the Pio-
neer Line and to construct two magnifi-
cent iron propellers with a speed of 1S
knots an hour for the trade between Vic
toria and Port Moody and New West
minister and for the island and mainland
coast trade. The company proposes
also, to construct light-draught steam
boats for the RI Q and gulf ratlic Of high
speed and elegant appointments. The
growing trade OF this and adjacent ports
has induced local capitalists to embark
in this grand scheme which, next to the
Island railway project, is the most i'm
portant and far-rcaching in its effects
that has ever been mOOtCd here
