San Francisco.
San Francisco special.l

The whaler bark Atlantic was driven
ashore mile and half below the Cliff
House. and went to pieces in few min
utes, not spar remaining standing. The
wreck was strewn along the beach for
three or four miles. About twenty-five
men are believed TO be lost. The captain
and mate, with eight or ten men, were
saved. AT the time of the disaster dense
fog and heavy sea prevailed. The Atlantic
lett here for a cruise in the South Pacific,
after which she was to proceed north. She
was an old vessel, having been built in
1851; was 251 tons register, and was own
ed by j. & w. II. Wing, of New Bedford,
Mass. She was commanded by Capt.
Thomas Z. Warren.
Following is Captain Warren's statement
of the wreck: There was heavy head
swell and no wind. The currents were SO
strong that we could not get out of the
swell. We let 90 both anchors, but the sea
swept the decks, and was SO heavy that the
anchors could not hold. We dragged ashore
and struck at 1880 a. m. Men were being
washed off during all this time by the i'm
mense waves which washed over us. The
vessel went to pieces an hour and a half
alter she struck. There was very heavy
fog, and it was pitch dark. We succeeded
in lowering two boats, but both capsized
before getting two boat-lengths from the
ship. The first boat contained u. III. Doty,
first mate. Anton Perry, third mate, and
four or five of the crew. That was the last
we saw of them. In the second boat were
myself, second mate, Ring, and five men.
When we we're swamped the sea carr ed US
in till we toached bottom, when we dragged
ourselves ashore. We made no signals OK
distress, as it was too foggy for any to be
seen"
AS soon as the captain reached the shore
he made his way in an exhausted condition
to the lfe-s saving station, n few hundred
yards away, and gave the alarm. The APP
paratus was Immediately got out, but owing
to the darkness and fog it was some time
before the wreck could be located. line
was then shot over her, but proved OF no
service, as it became entangled in floating
wreckage, and the vessel shortly went to
pieces. TIE vessel was valued at $4,000,
and her outfit at $4,000; insurance,
S5,tc0. The captain and crew numbered
Iorty-two persons, and up to now only
eleven are known TO be saved
