A STEAMER ABANDONED.
The Captain and Thirty-Six of Her
Sailors Missing.

HALIFAX On. s., Jan. 1.-The
steamer Genoa, from Portland, Maine,
bound to London with 400 horses and a
general cargo, struck on Seal Island
this morning during thick weather. She
fioated Immediately, and on the pumps
being sounded, it was found she had
fifteen feet of water in her hold
The Captain decided to abandon the
ship, and all hands took to the boats.
The second officer named Watson, and
twentythree of the crew reached
Forbes Point, Woods Harbor, at noon
today. The remainder of those on
board, including Captain Baxter and
thirty-six others, headed for Seal
Island. Whether they have reached
there is not yet known, according to
advnces received late tonight from
harrington, as the weather and water
are very rough, and it has been impos-
sible to communicate with Seal Island.
Unless Captain Baxter and the re-
mainder of the crew who steered for
Seal Island have succeeded in reaching
shore before this time, it is feared they
will never do so, as heavy gale has
been blowing almost continuously since
yesterday.
The Genoa was a steel steamer of
2,oo0 tons register and 3,1SS gross tons.
She belonged to the Thompson line. and
was built in Dundee in 1885,

THE OAKLAND'S CREW.
All of the Members Arrive Safely
at Astoria.

ASTORIA (Or), Jan. 1.-Captain
Whitney and the crew Of ten men Of
the bark Oakland which went ashore
on Cape Flattery last Wednesday, We're
picked up by the schooner Laura May
and were landed here safely this af
ternoon.
On Decembe 26th the schooner Lau-
ra May spoke the Oakland, which was
flying signals of distress. The bark
was leaking badly and Captain Whit
ney and his crew of ten men took TO
the boats and boarded the Laura May.
The schooner sailed in to the Columbia
River December Both, and anchored
near Sand Island. A gale sprung up,
and she was compelled to put to sea
again. Yesterday Pilot Malcolm, who
was in charge of the German ship Hen
rietta, which arrived here to-day, said
that he believed the Laura May had
pickedup the crew of the Oakland, as he
saw eleven men on the schooner. AL
though the schooner with the ship
wrecked crew was practically in the
harbor here three days ago, there was
no positive information that the crew
was safe until to-day.
