San Francisco. Dec. 1.-The ferry

San Rafael sank in between 10 and
10 minutes. II Is thought that NOT
more than 20 people were drowned,
although the San Rafael carried be-
tween $50 and 200 passengers.
The Sausalito was not seriously in

could md, proceeded TO San Francisco

oveThauling.
Captain Mckenzie Of the San Rafael
was the last one to leave the boat. AS
she was going down he seized rope
flung to him from the Sausalito and
was pulled on board. He thinks that
most of his passengers were saved. as
many of them jumped to the Sausalito
and others went on the gangplank run
between the two boats to safety. The
list Of those lost will probably not be
available tonight. 1t is safe to say.
however, that those lost were all

Never has the fog been thicker in

the early hours the fog came up "as
thick as mush," and tonight IL was
almost impossible TO see a boats

The steam schooner Arctic ran down
the French bark Edmond Rost, and
In the early morning hours the En-,
cinal and Albatross came together in
the fog. Many a vessel had a narrow
escape and the fog signals were blown
H. all directions.
Most of the ferry steamers escaped
but one or two of them got into trou-
bic. The Tiburon had to make a
second attempt at her first landing.
The Encinal was nearly half an hour
reaching her dock and the Piedmont
had similar experience. The Oakland
and the San Rafael came very near
colliding when they reached this city
al s O'Clock in the evening. Each boat
missed her slip. one going too high
and the other too low.
The Kimball Steamship company's
Arctic arrived from Nome and way
ports early in the morning. On her
wav down the coast she stopped at
astoria and after leaving the Column
bla river was caught in a southeaster
and had very rough experience.
