Light List of Arrivals.

From private letter received yesterday
by Captain William Empey it is learned
that the schooner Guide of this port was
caught in tide-rp off Tom Point, near
Port Crescent, on Tuesday night last and
dropped her anchor. The tide was very
swift and the chain began cutting the hull
down. Before much damage was done the
chain parted and the schooner began drift
ing on reef.
Every effort was made to clear her, but
she struck her ruddeT on sunken portion
of the reef as she was passing over. Her
rudder was carried away, and, it is thought,
that the stern post is also gone. Steering
gear was rugged and the vessel anchored off
Port Angeles, where she was picked up by
the tug Mogul and towed to Port Blakeiey,
where her deck-load will be discharged and
the necessary repairs made.
The weather was haZy at Point Lobos
yesterday, and the wind all day from the
northwest blowing as high as twenty-eight
miles an hour. The barometer read: s
o'clock i'll the morning, 30:02; noon, 1890;
5 O'clock in the evening. 1894.
