WRECK OFF VICTORIA.

Bark Colusa Supposed to Have Gone
Down With All On Board.
VICTORIA, B. c.. Dec. 18-Accord-
ing TO adyices from the western coast
Of this island It is probable that the
distressed bark reported ashore near
Point Bonilla, on November -, was
the long missing Colusa, which Bailed
from Honolulu on October 3 for Es-
qulmalt and that, releasing herself
from the rocks, the fated craft soon
after foundered with Captain Ewarts,
his wife and crew.
This conclusion has been reached by
several recent arrivals from the coast
and Is in a measure cOrrobOrated in
a report from Light-keeper Daykin,
Of CarnIanah, who tells Of the strand
ing and subsequent release Of a vessel
answering the description Of the Co
lusa. TIE Indians at Dodge's Cave
report that a vessel foundered oft
there.
1t was supposed that that was the
abandoned bark LiberHad, but there
is a strong probability that 1t was the
Colusa.

\ week of strain and anxiety has

him, knowing that he was engaged
in hauling wood on a certain road,
took that trail and after travelling
