DAMAGE TO SHIPPING.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-The
gale which has prevailed along the
Northern Pacific coast since Saturday

| gale which has prevailed along the
J Northern Pacific coast since Saturday
last has undoubtedly rc:.s"d wide
spread di.,::;Itrr Ia - i.i:i -: - st
| three SchoonerS are h44UMn 70 i.;,e
been wrecked. There are grave rea-
sons for believing that the American
| ship Ivanhoe has been lost with all
on board, and there is little doubt that
Southern Pacific company's raft Of
ten thousand spars and piles valued at
over $4,000 has been broken by the
elements. The news of the next few
days, it is thought. will show still
greater losses. From Tacoma the
schooner Nora Harkins is reported
wrecked at the entrance to Gray's har-
Dor, and one seaman was drowned.
Reports were also received there
this afternoon of the wreck of tha
schooner Portia at Stewards point.
Her bottom was knocked out on the
rock and her crew narrowly escaped
with their lives. It is also reported
that the schooner Electrica was driven
OH the rocks near Cambria on the
San Louis Obispo county coast. A
few minutes after her crew left her
she broke in two and went down.
The American ship Ivanhoe, coal laden
from Seattle for this port, which has
low been out twenty-one days, is al
most certainly lost. Captain G. e.
Griffin commanded her and she carried
a crew of eighteen men. Fred J.
Grant, one of the proprietors Of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer and ex-min-
lister to Bolivia, was a passenger on
the 1vanhoe, having embarked on
her to enjoy the novelty of sea voy-
age. A mast and yards were painted
yellow, and what was believed by sea-
men to be a part of the floating deck
house, painted as was the Ivanhoe's
was also seen in the same locality.
ON TILLAMOOK COAST.
Astoria, Oct 16-Steam schooner
Bandorille arrived from the Siuslaw
this afternoon. She met with an acci-
dent off Nehalem yesterday morning
by having a plug blown from her
boiler, letting all the water out. She
raised small sail and managed to
keep her head to the sea until the
damage was repaired. Capt. Winant
says that yesterdays northwester
was the heaviest that he ever expert
enced. From off the Tillamook bar
the Bandorille passed lots Of drifting
piling, which Capt. Winant believes
to have come from the big raft.
OTHER COAST LOSSES.
Astoria, Oct. 16.-The steamer Ban
dorille, which arrived this afternoon
from the Siuslaw, brings news of the
schooner DanielsOn, which was on the
south spit at that place a week ago
and was pulled off after sustaining
serious damage. She is now discharg-
ing her cargo at Florence, after
which she will beach for repairs. She
had on 145,OO0 feet of lumber from
the Siuslaw River Lumber company,
besides considerable freight consist
ing of hides and salmon. Hurd &
Davenport of Florence lost about
81 900 on lumber washed overheard,
and the loss to the vessel will prob
ably be $1,000.
ANOTHER DISASTER.
Tacoma, Oct f-A Ledger special
from Ocosta says the schooner COrin-
ma Harkins which went ashore on
Peterson's point this morning was
trying to beat into harbOr during the
night while Il heavy wind, almost
gale, was blowing. The sea was run
ming high and the vigorous motion the
vessel was subjected to, finally carried
away her rudder. Left helpless, she
drifted down off PetersOn's point and
was there driven ashore. At low tide
she is practically high and dry. All
the crew escaped unhurt except Peter
who was drowned.
