San Francisco. Dec. fa-Stin another
name has been added to the list OF over
due vessels. bringing the total number
up TO ten. The little schooner Mary ard
Iaa Is now out sixteen days from wiilapa
Wash, and no word Of her has reached
here since she sailed for this port. Orit-
narily little uneasiuess would be felt for
q vessel out this length OF time. but, in
view OF the recent hurricane which
wrought sach havoc In the North. grave
fears are entertained for the Mary and
Ida.
The vessels now numbered on the over
due list and which have been long
enough out to warrant apprehension for
the-r safety. are: Steamer Montserrat.

minion. fifteen days from San Erss cisco
for Puget Sound. The report OF the John
+. BraGg, which vessel sighted the Ger
mania, was received at the Merchants
Exchange today. When il was posted
on the board there was a little demon
stration from those on change. for IT
was at first thought that the missing
bark had been recently seen This hope
soon gave way to disappointment, for /,
was on December that the Gerrnanaa
was seen. She was then I35 miles off the
Columbia river.
the collier San Mateo. with coal from
comox for Los Angeles. passed Point
Reyes this morning. Many people won
dered what she was doing SO close in
shore, but the captain evidently wanted
10 be reported.
Captain Salmond. OF the Wellington.
brings faint gleam OF hope for the miss
ing steamers keweenaw and Montserrat
He arrived here from Nanaimo on Satur-
day. He says that the weather was bad
all the way down. making progress very
slow. II do not give the Montserrat or
keweenaw up. by any means, he said,
today. 1T is not to be wondered at that
they have not been seen. for / could see
has not yet been broken. and Blackburn,
IL he is afioat. would not attempt to come
In until good weather prevails. Against
heavy head wind and sea the Wellington
could not make more than two knots an
hour. and what could the Aiontserrat do
with the Keweenaw in tow?' The dis
tance from Cape Flattery TO San Francis
co Is estimated to be about 200 miles. If
the Montserrat and Keweenaw Rave pos
slbly survived the storm and are coming
along at the rate of two knots an hour It
would take fifteen days to make the trip.
The Montserrat Is out fourteen Gays to-
day

The British ships Gleniuis and Red Rock
are also anxiousiy looked for az Portland.
The former left here or December and
nothing has been heard OF her since. She
was IN ballast and II Is supposed that she
could not have ESCAPED the storm. The
Red Sock left IN ballast four days after
the Glanluis and was towed out to sea the
day - gale began.
The old bark Dominion started for Port
Townsend on December 5 IN ballast and
nothing has been heard OF her.
