SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-Still another
name has been added to the list of over
due vessels, bringing the total number
up to ten. The little schooner Mary and
Ida is now out sixteen days from Will
hapa, on Shoalwater Bay, and no word Of
her. has reached here since she sailed for
this port. Ordinarily. but little uneasi-
ness would be felt for a vessel out this
length of time, but in view of the recent
hurricane, which wrought such havoc in
the north, grave fears are entertained for
the Mary aud Ida.
The vessels now mum bered on the over
due list, and which have been long
enough out to warrant apprehension for
their safety, are: Steamer Montserrat,
fourteen days from Nanaimo; steamer
keweenaw, thirteen days from Nanaimo;
bark Germauia, seventeen days from Sc
attic; bark Columbus, fourteen days
from Port Blakeley; ship j. b. Brown,
seventeen days from Nanaimo; bark Sea
King, sixteen days from Nanaimo;
schooner Mary and Ida, sixteen days
from Shoalwater Bay; snip Red Rock,
fourteen days from San Francisco for
Portland; ship Glenlin, sixteen days
from san Francisco for Portland; bark
Dominion, fifteen days from San Fran
cisco Tor Puget Sound.
The report of the John Il. Brigg, which
vessel sighted the Germania, was re-
ceived at the Merchants Exchange to-
day. When it was posted Old the board
there was a little demonstration from
those on Change, for il was at first
thought that the missing bark had been
recently seen. This hope soon gave way
wa On
Der 9th that the Germania was seen. She
was then l35 miles of the Columbia
River.
The collier San Mateo, with coal from
ComoX TO Port Los Angeles, passed Point
Reyes this morning. Many people won
dered what she was doing SO close in
shore, Dut the Captain eviuentIy wanted
10 be reported.

lie arrived here from Nanaimo on Satur-
day. He says that the weather was bad
ali the way down, making progress very
SLOW. - do not give the Montserrat or
teweenaw up 10y any MEANS" said the
Captain to-day. at is not to be won
dered at that they have not been seen, for
| could see hardly anything coming
down The storm has not yet been
broken, and Blackburn, if lie is atloat,
would not attempt to come in until good
weather prevails. Against 4 heavy head
wind and sea the Wellington could not
make morath than two knots an hour, and
what could the Montserrat do with the
heWeenaW in tow"
The distance from Cape Flattery to
San Francisco is estimated to be about
700 miles, Ii the Montserrat and Kewee-
nav have possibly 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 days to-day.

| with the coast. His crew consisted OF

SCHOONER WRECKED.
PORTLAND orr, Dec. I9.-News has
| reached here that the schooner Mary Gill
bert, Captain Dodge, from San Francisco
to Alsea Bay for lumber, went ashore
on tie night of the 18th inst. just inside of
| the entrance to Alsea Bay. The schooner
! Is q total loss. She sailed in over Alsea
! bar about 1:20 p. NJ, Decem ber 18th, but
after entering the bay the wind failed.
The anchorsswere let go while the tide
was ebbing swiftly. Her capstan was
carried away, and as a last resort the
vessel was then run on the north beach
to prevent her being carried to sea by the
tide. She toundered on the beach Satur-
! day night, and Sunday nights tide and
wind 1ioated her in the channel, where
the crew abandoned her. The schooner
drifted across the bay and foundered on
the south beach. The cargo was ali re-
moved. The schooner is leaking badly
and settling in the sand. She had been
standing outside for ten days waiting for
a tag from Siuslaw. and during this time
weathered the recent hurricane.
