RAN DOWN A SCHOONER.

the Brothers Rock.

The steamer Apache Nearly Sunk Near
the Brothers Rock.
\ very serious bay collision occurred near
the Brothers Rock about s o'clock last
night, and by which the Sacramento steamer
Apache was very nearly sent to the bottom
Of the sea.
The steamer was on her way to San Fran
cisco. and just after passing the Brothers
the lights of q schooner were seen on the
port bow.
Pilot Sawtell was at the wheel on board
the Apache, and thinking he had lots nf
room held his course and tried to cross the
scho0neT's bow. The schooner was going
through the water too fast, however. and
crashed into the Apache, cutting her
TO the waters edge. Instantly all
WAS confusion on board the steamer.
and many of the passengers on board, in
Guiding large number Of women, thought
the steamer was going to the bottom. The
force OF the blow caused her 10 keel over

and much OF the freight on the main deck
began TO roll down to leaward. The steamer
Tlghted gain as soon as the schooner
cleared her and the main pumps were at
once set to work. Captain Ferris al once
brought the steamer 10 an anchor and ascer-
tanned the extent of damage. The
entire side of the steamer for
distance of over ten feet had been
crushed in, and part of tie upper works
torn away The schooner also dropped her
anchor, and had also sustained serious dam
age. Her b0wsprit was gone and the entire
bows crushed in. and only for the cargo of
lumber which she carried she must have
sunk instantly. By shifting several tons of
freight over to the S;arboard side Captain
Ferris managed to keep the Apache afoat
long enough to reach the wharf in this
city, and she arrived here about two hours
late. Both Captain Ferris and Pilot Sawtell
refused TO give any Information regarding
the affair, and also refused to give the name
Of the schooner. This is the second acct
dent Pilot Sawtell has met with inside of
month, as he was at the wheel when the
Apache ran down a fishing boat near Be-
nicia not long ago, and by which one of the
