ALL HANDS LOST. Word cones from Victoria, that the British bark l"as of Melfort. Coptain Cougall, from Alteon for Ihiget Sound drove ashore on the rock of Vancouver Island a quarter of a mile east of Am phritrit Point WVdnesday night; all on board were lost. The xe! was mak ing for the entrance to the Straits, when the terrific northwest gale drove her to a lee shore on Vancouver Island, and the doomed ship drove with terrific force onto the rocks, breaking up soon afterward. Several months ago the steamer New port was ordered to San Francisco for a general overhauling, after having bean condemned by the customs authorities here, and the same authorities told her to proceed to the Bay City in ballast, but she took on quite a "passer of shingles lex Ufort taring out, Which, when discovered here, resulted in the prompt levy of a $500 fine against the steamer. From this fine and it collection, the owners appealed to Washington, on the following predicate for abatement or nullification of the fine: "Applicant claims that the voyage could not have been safely made with out ballast and that, owing to the con dition of the vessel's bull, it was not deemed safe to carry rock for ballast; that, accordingly, s quantity of shingles wae taken on board at the expense of the steamer as ballast. It is further claimed that, these shingles were taken on board at the expense of the steamer aa ballast. It ia further claimed that these shingles were taken to San Fran cisco without hire and, therefore, that they were not freight within the ac cepted meaning of the term. It appears from the records that there is differ ence of opinion as to the necessity for taking on the shingles and that the master was particularly cautioned by the local inspectors of hulls not to take on carso. The department considers ' The steamer Toledo was sold at auc that greater attention should hare been tkn yesterday at Portland to Miss givn to tie cautions of the local inspec- Laura H.

Company has sold the steamer Olympian to C. L. Demon, who will hare her towed around the Horn to New York, where she. will be re paired and put in commission as an excursion steamer. The Olympian was built at Wilmington in 1883, and was placed on the Victoria and Tacoma run, where she remained until 1888. She changed hands several times between 18JW and 1890, when, in the latter year she was placed in the O. R. ft X. bone yard. SHE'S ALL RIGHT! Captain L. C. Heilner, local lighthouse inspector at Portland, received word yesterday that lightship No. 83, which was torn from her moorings at Blunt's Reef, off Cape Mendocnino, had arrived safely at San Francisco. She will re turn to her station as soon as a new anchor and chain can be purchased to replace the one lost. . ed and was started at $7300. When it reached $10,730, Mr. Klmore itnfil out.

Captain Reed and the Wallulu went out yesterday with a detachment of bar pilots for the pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer and put them on board. The Pulitzer has been swinging round the circle in great shape for the past eight stormy days but she's a dandy anyhow, If you don't believe this, ask Captain Staples The British bark Invergarry, Captain Mitchell, which has been lying in the lower harbor for the past six weeks waiting for a charter, or for orders, re ceived both yesterday snd will sail for Eureka as soon a possible, and she will load redwood lumber for Europe. The Hammond log raft is lying much easier than when he was pulled off on Tuesday last, and her second venture on the spit in Young's Bay will be eaier overcome on the high flood of January, if she i not pulled olT and mude fust to' dolphins in the meantime. The steamer Jordan, Captain Charley Ionian, is getting almost too small for her business run nowadays. She carries heavily on her new circuit, both people and freight. Among her passengers yes terday were Minn McDonough, of Pillar Rock, and Mi Silverman of Skamo-kawa. The French bark Kdimmd Rostand bad amjung her crew, when she arrived here two months ago, a consumptive sailor, tnd the poor fellow be came no much worse during his stay here, his ship could not clear with a bill of health. Her mast or has com promised the situation by shipping the stricken sailor to his home in France via the rail and steamship routes, at a cot of $.500 to his company, and will probably clear today from this port. Aa the steamer Costa Rica left the 0. R. ft X. piers yesterday evening, for Portland, she gave the steamer Sue II. Elmore the rub of her life. Paint and splinter were flying and it looked as if the little coaster was going to be badly jammed, but they separated without any very serious result to either. The Elmore was lying inboard and astern of the Costa Rica and aa the latter backed down and out the rupture occurred.
