Larnaca and Pierre Cornielle In Col

san Francisco. Nov. l:-Eariy yestcr-
day morning the British ship Larnaca ar
rived or the port from Valparaiso. She
was met outside the heads by a pilot, who
carried orders for her to proceed TO Port
land. Her captain at once changed his
course, and headed his vessel with the
westerly wind to clear Point Reyes on a
tack OUT TO the open sea- The vessel was
slowly moving along under the light
breeze, when there suddenly came a con-
fused shouting or orders of to starboard,
and the next instant a vessel under full
sail crashed into the Iarnaca Just for
ward OF the main rigging. For a moment
the two vessels hung together. then
ground into each other as they swung
apart. Their tangled rigging was torn
from sioft and came crashing 20 the decks

The vessel that ran into the British shin
was the Pierre Cornieils. bound In from
Newcastle. Pilot Miller had boarded s1er
sotae hours before and was directing the
oark's course. leaving the crew to keep
lockout ahead. The vessel had all her
sails set 60 catch etc ilgn, wind. and she
was going almost dead before IL. The
pilot on the poop deck was unable TO see
anything before him except big spread

danger Gutd the two vessels were together
The men on the lookout forward had be-
come engaged in other work and neglected
20 keep watch. The night was clear and
the master and crew of each vessel blame
the ether for the disaster.
The Larnaca had her starhoar1 bull
warks crushed in. the rail torn away and
two plates IN her hun above the water line
were cut through. The Pierre CornseIie
lost her ttohooTn, and With IL went most OF
