Losing her course in a dense fog the Albert was dashed to pieces on a submerged reef eight milee north of the Point Reyes lighthouse and a mile and a half from the shore. Captain H. 0. Uhlberg, 77 years of ago,- master of the

vessel was drowned. The 11 men of the crew reached shore, exhausted, after fighting in the fog for seven hours to bring the bits of floating wreckage to which they clung to land. The vessel, which was valued at 4112,000, and her cargo of leather an dtallow, valued at 4120,000, are a total loss. The Albert was a three-masted barque of 634 tons'net register. She was ending a voyage from Timaru, having sailed from there on January 25th. The vessel lost her way in the fog, and shortly after midnight drifted into Bodega Bay, 12 miles north of Point Reyes. She put to sea again, tho master hoping to find tho course. But as the tog thickened it was decided to drop anchor, which would rot hold. For many years the Albert was In the sugar trade between San Francisco and Honolulu. Later she plied to and from Alaska. She left San Francisco on ler last voyage to New Zealand last October. The barque, which was owned by Messrs Olsen Bros., of San Francisco, was built in 1890 at Port Blakeley, Washington. FIRE ON A LIGHTER.
