Wrecked on Humboldt Bar.

EUREKA, CAL, Oct 2.-The steamer
Chilkat, Captain Anderson. had a narrow
escape from being wrecked on Humboldt
bar. She left her wharf, having on board
fifteen passengers and a full load of freight.

upper works, making an aperture about six
teen by four feet above guard. She shipped
considerable water which put out the fires,
leaving the vessel at the mercy of the

of sail she finally reached the government
wharf, where she is now tied up The pas
sengerS were brought back to the city in
small launches. The Chilkat will be re-
paired and will be put to sea as soon as

relating to them one applying to the very
condition under which the accident occurred.
