This Includes the Crew OF the Bark
Helen W. Almy, Which Sailed From
San Francisco on Sunday Last For
Copper River Points.
San Francisco, March 23--Upon the
arrival of the Pacific Coast Steamship
company's steamer Santa Rosa from
San Diego yesterday the news was re-
ceived of another terrible accident in
directly attributable to the Alaskan
gold excitement, which is believed to
have cost the lives Of 40 passengers
and sailors.
Captain Alexander, Of the Santa
Rosa, reported that early yesterday
morning. while nine miles off Point
Bonita, at the mouth of the Golden
Gate, he sighted derelict, bottom up.
The tug Sea Witch was Immediately
dispatched to the point indicated and
found the derelict to be the bark Helen
w. Almy, Captain Hogan, which sail
ed hence for Copper river PAINTS with
q passengers and crew of 10 on Sum
day last.
The bark lay upon her starboard
side, with her stern low in the water.
her deck hamper badly wrecked and
several planks of her hull washed
loose by the seas which broke over her.
While there were no signs Of boats
among the wreckage, it Is not believed
that her passengers and crew escaped
by putting off from the vessel in them,
as there has been very heavy seas for
several days. Furthermore, no word
has been received from the survivors,
If any exist, although the derelict was
sighted within ten miles of the shore,
and fully 60 hours have passed since
the wreck occurred.
According to the tugboat men there
was a pretty stiff breeze when the
Almy sailed out of Golden Gate on
Sunday last. and by noon 1t was blow
ing gale. She left here under top
sails. and when last seen was standing
out for an offing. There was heavy
sea running, and 1t is supposed that
some time during the night she was
struck by squall and capszed.
The Helen W. Almy was once
South sea trader, and was quite IA
nous for her many adventures among
the reefs. Her commander was then
Ceptain Tutrell, and he operated her in
the interest Of John Wightman, who
retained an interest in her when she
entered the Alaskan trade.
The vessel was in good condition
for an old vessel. and perfectly sea-
worthy. She was on the dry docks
some days before being put on the
berth, and her owners spent $4,000 in
repairing her. She had temporary
house on deck. When the Almy left
port she had 25 tons of ballast in her,
besides the provisions of the passengers
and their outfits. She was vessel Of
only $50 tons, and was therefore bal
lasted sufficiently to make her stiff"
