The German bark Thalassa arrived IN
yesterday from San Diego. The Thalassa
Is in command OF Captain Christensen
and this Is the first trip Of the vessel or
her captain to the Columbia river. She
arrived OF the mouth Of the Columbia De-
cember a. and was In the vicinity OF the
steamer Protection when she foundered
on the morning OF the hrst. Captain
ChristiansOn missed the boats containing
the shipwrecked crew OF the steamer. al
though he calculated he was but few
miles distant from them. The Thalassa
was then in company with the Galgate.
The captain states the stern In which
the Protection foundered was the worst
he ever met with. HIS vessel pitched
fearfully and Il was with difficulty the
men could keep their seet on deck. The
Thalassa made the mouth Of the river
several times but was unable 10 meet
with either a tug or pilot The Thalassa
was on the river 10 days, but fortunately
her charter Is not up until the lith. She
has on board 47is casks Of cement from
Antwerp which will be discharged here.
The Thalassa Is consigned 20 Meyer. VIII

Captain Perrlman, OF San Francisco. they
