SAN FRAscIsco, Aug. a3-Ihe steamer
City of Chester was run into and sunk III
San Francisco bay yesterday by the Occi-
dental and Oriental steamer Oceanic, aud
as far as can now be ascertained thirteen
people went down with here. The City OF
Chester left for her regular trip to Eureka
at o'clock with an unusually large
number Of passengers. When With
in two miles Of the heads she en-
countcred the thick fog so peculiar to that
Locality, ana slowed down and began blow
iae her whistle Nhsn - Port Point tho
Waistle cf another steamer was hea. ana
CAPTAIN Mattaea ii The City of Ciaaster,
ga, the proper waning for tho stranger
to pass on the port side The s.@al WIS
evidently misunderstood, Tor the ncNt ;aa@
ment the PROV of the Oceanic, which haa
just arrived from Hong Kong and Ioko-
hama, emerged from the fog. The huge
steamer was so close that there was no pos
sibiiitv for the Chester to escape, and Cap
tain Wallace called TO the cabin passengers,
most Of whom were on deck, to prepare Tor
the shock. The Oceanic struck the Ches-
ter on the port gangway and her Prov
crashed into the middle section of the i'll
fatcd craft cutting her nearly in two and
causing her to reel under the terrible blow.
A scene of tie widest confusion ensaed.
The passengers crowded together, some
shriclling with fear and others praying
for help, while the officers and crew
seemed to lose their wits altogether. AT
the moment Of the collision u number
of the City OF Chester's passengers
were naSSed over the Ocea.le's
bow and rescued in this way, and il is said
that several of the<'aester's crew leit tae.r
passengers to shift for themselves and were
the first on the Oceanic's decks. As soon
as the large steamer could clear herself she
swung around and Immediately began. to
lower her boats. The passengers on tho
Chester also managed TO clear away one Of
/ her boats Others provided themselves
/ with lffe-preservers and jumped orer-
board, but the greater portion went
down with the doomed vessel, which b.
gan to settle Immediately after the col
hsiou Torrents of water rushed into her
hold and in tive minutes after the collision
the Chester disappeared and sunk in fifty
! fathoms of.water Those of the passengers
] and crew who came to the surface were
picked UP by the Oceanic's boats
/ Ii WIS at first thought that the number
] of drowned would foot up thirty -four,
which includcd twenty one of the twenty
/ three stccrage passengers, but from tho
+ latest information obtainable from tho
Steamship officials il is believed that only
thirteen persons were lost. This includes
i ten Gf the seventy cabin passengers and
] three of;hc. crew None OF the Survivors
j were landed until after | o'clock. and at u
late hour there was still much doubt as TO
] the number OF those lost.
