Steamer Goes Ashore in Fog.

In a dense fog the Canadian Pacific steamer Hating, from Skaguay to Vancouver, went ashore at Tucker bay, Jervis island, and is now hard and fast on the rocks. The place is a small rocky islet lying to northeast of Laquetti island, at the entrance to Sabine strait, forty-nine miles north of Vancouver, B. C. When the steamer went ashore Captain Gosse was on watch and First Officer Newrotos was on the bridge with the master of the vessel. The fog at the time was so dense that it was imposslDle to see ten feet in any direction. The Hating had on board 170 passengers, of whom 130 were first-class and forty second cabin. There was no panic when the steamer struck and the passengers were soon made aware that no danger was to be apprehended. The passengers were safely landed.
