NO LIVES ARE SACRIFICED Crew Loses EYerytbing of Personal Na tureShip Liei la Seven Fathoms runnel and Search Light All That Is Visible She May Be Raited. At' 7:10 o'clock yesterday evening the light house tender Manzanit was steaming quietly down the Columbia river, en route to thin port to give what assistance she might to the stranded light-ship from the bar, when she met tie towing steamer John MeCtacken, in charge of the Port of Portland dred ger Columbia coming up. The Manzan ita gave the starboard call for passing but received no answer from the Mo Cracken; the MoCracken, however, swung away in obedience to the call she had not answered, and as she did so, the Columbia took a sheer toward the Manzanita, and the powerful digger that was hung to her, amidships crashed into the tender just forward of tbe waist on the starboard side and ripped her open along the water line for about seven feet The dredger moved off almost instantly, and the Manzanita started for the bank, but did ' not make it She sank in the channel in seven fathoms of water within 12 ' minutes from the moment she was struck. The MoCracken immediately went td yie assistance of the tender but could do p more than pick off the officers and J efew, and this she did in a hurry. There was not a thing saved from the tender and thsHiHn , had nothing ltaav4wy landed at Eagle L.i.7, but the clothe they stood in.- . ' ". .The accident' happened on tbe line between Wyerford.

The steamer T. J. Potter came along about the time the party was landed at Fiigle ClitT and she was hailed by the McCrackeu. and the entire crew of tn Manzanit Invaded tar for tin city, except the nicer, who returned to the Washington shore to stand by their sunken vessel and to await orders from head quarter. TJis newa was received in Astoria with genuine regret by everybody, for tlie Manzanita was a favorite of long years standing in this port and the hope is broadcast that she will be floated, repaired and renew her service in and out of thi port ; but jut what w ill lie don with 1T s conjectural, a word lias been received from the depart ment in relation to her future. Captain Albert Kos, V. S. X.. inspect or of light houses arrived in the city yesterday, accompanied by Superintend ent T. 11. Hart, of tie light house con struction department and was engaged 11 day yesterday in siting up the con dition of the Columbia river bar light ship now ahore at lVacoctt plt. These gentlemen returned to the city last ev ening and are the guests of Captain Richftrdson on tlie tender Columbine. They repert the light-ship as resting easily and in the absence of violent weather will have her afloat in a few days; it bring the intention to put out a mushroom anchor on a w ire cable well astern in the leaker's bay channel, and warp the Jiip link to deep water, a 7 'perfectly feasible program if the wea til er holds moderate as to wind and surf. As to the Manzanita, the-e gentlemen could report nothing except that her sWk anVl search-light are the only visible sign of the popular little steam er, and that it may prove expedient to attempt her raising and re-equipment -5-1' billeted for a general pve er- hauling for. which the sum of 140,000 had been apjrojriaJe. i and a number of bidWrV'aWalTyaieJ in thi behalf, the survey and estimate for the work havj-ig (jef t we ji-jufir -Way for some time past. l)e iJ ' overhauled the work--Sana aao by the Astoria Iron Works.

An eye-witness to the loss of the Matuanita, in fact one of the twenty two people constituting her crew, say it was a mournful sjiecUcle to ce tlie handsome little craft sink down, in the twilight, with all her running light ablate and the smoke pouring from her funnel, while her entire outfit of officers and men were compelled to stand idly by unable to do a thing in behalf of the vessel they had served on so long. and, shaking in the larger sense, on whose deck they had enjoyed many a div of x-vM-tv sometime hard and wearying, and again, pleasant, easy and satisfactory.

Heavy sea are now wash ing over the ship. The steamer is still in an upright position. The booms on the masts have been wished away, and three lifeboats on the port side that were not pressed into service have been wrenched loose from the davit. Hit of railing, spar, and tackle have been found along the shore and have drifted far out into the ocean. ' ' Boatswain Allen, who accompanied Captain Randall within a mile of the wreck, says, that the vessel is rapidly breaking up. Her cabins seem to be collapsing, and it ' is not lelieved that anything can be saved.
