This blind search for the home ward way lasted several hours. Fi nally, fortune favored them and the lights of the city were discerned. In the meantime the watchers at the White House became first anxious, then alarmed, at the inexplicable ab sence of the president and his secre tary. While the attendants were con sidering the best means ot organizing search and relief expeditions, their fears were relieved by thereturn of the wanderers none the worse for wear, having been gone nearly five hours.

All of the freight is being discharged on scows and taken ashore - Tho Elder was within a few fathoms of tho place where the bark David Hoadley was wrecked some years ago. Tho shore is very rocky and fully ex posed to heavy gales and seas, direct from tho ocean, up the straits. She lies broadside on tho shore and is in serious position, if a storm or Heavy wind, arises. Several tugs made an unsuccessful attempt to float the vessel this morn ing. They will combine their strength ac uie next nign water, ana enaeavor to float the steamer. The revenue cutters Bear and Corwin are at the scene of tho disaster, assisting in dis charging the cargo. The Elder was coming around from Astoria bound to Alaska, with a full cargo of freight and a few passengers. The bark Oaldand belonging to the Port Madison Mill Co., also went ashore on Point Wilson this morning, at 7 o'clock in the heavy fog, as she mistook her bearing. Sho is in a dan gerous position, but will probably get off this evening. The Oakland was from San Fran cisco bound to Port Madison, for a cargo of lumber. The masters of the Geo. W. Elder and the Oalcland assert that tho fog whistle at 'Point Wilson was not blowing, and attribute to that cause then: misfortune. The keepers claim that the whistle was blowing at regular intervals. An in vestigation will probably be called. (The steamer left Portland Saturday night, and Astoria on Sunday, with, the following passengers on beard: F.P.Kendall and wife, R, S. Miller.
