Two Hundred J People Irovnel XltrllUnjK"..: Story oFj;!! golo Stiivivov. San Francisco, November 8. A dispatch from Port Townsend this evc ttlng says; Henry F. Jelly, the sup posed sole? survivor of. the steamship Pa cific disaster, who was brought .here yesterday by the ship Messenger, is in a trretched conditiop, having been on a raft thirty-six hours before he was picked up. He says tho Pacific colli ded with some other vessel, whose liaht he saw, but in his interview with Cap tain Giekejh, the master of the Jessen ger, lie made no mention of the lights of a vessel, and gome persons, think he is laboring under a hallucination as to that. Experienced navigators here think it is more likely that she struck a sunken rock. ' THE STORY OF THE ONE MAN SAVED OUT OF 200 -people),. k Jelly makes a statement to the fol lowing effect: I took. a cabin passage ou the Pacific from Victoria, leaving about a quarter past 9 o'clock Thurs day morning, the 4th inst. , with about two hundred people on board steamed all day against, a southeastern gale . The pFew were constantly pumping watc into the botta to trim thehip. The boats abaft .the paddle hoxc had no oars in them. The other boats had oars. Between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening, while in hod, I heard , . I ' : '": ' ' : a crash, 1:'Jirl and fol t a shock, as if wc had str- ck n rock; heard something fall' as'if rock fajlcn on the starboard bow ' The bell suck to 'stop," baci;f nd x:go ahead." I ' wnt on deckj heard voices say , "All right;; and V,w'e have struck a vessel ;" sa several, lights at adista?ice; they wore colored, but 1 paid but little attentiou "thomr return ed to the cabin : i)Qt;ped that the shp took a neavy list to port; went on deck to the pilot house and heard some one say : SHIC IS MAKINO. TVATEIt VKBT T T.V The Captain-. joining o-t of his room. I asked him if there were any blue lights or guns. He said the blue lights were in the pilot- house : got them and burnaJ Gve ; noticed the en gines ijj working but no one was at the weel: went to the starboard side, forward of t!.c paddle-bok, -where a number of men were trying to get a lurip-boat lauuchcd,: but could not : wept to the port boat forward and helped fiya or six women into it: tried to get tho boat off, but could not move it; there were about twenty women in it; heard that the boats abaft the puddles had been got off, but did not sec them; think it was about an hour after tho steamer struck when she lis ted so nipcli: the port boat was tn the water; I was in that boat and cut it loose from the davits: the boat Blled and turned over : I got on hr bottom and hclpod sereral up with me. Im mediately after the St earner seemed to break in two, fore and aft. Tho smoke ftack fell and struck ouv boat, and the teaiuer sunk, I think about all tho women wero in the boat, and a fcr they were all drowned when the 6oat upset . This was about 10 o'elookin the cveniug. Tho night was not dark nor thVsoa very rough, but there wag afresh breeze afterward. r I Ut the bottont of the boat and with another man climbed on top of the pilot house, floating near. Net "n orning got some life - preservers ' floating i.ear the house, aft4 vith their rupee lashed mji self and oomnanion to the house saw three rafts; the first had one man qu ft, the next had three men and a woman ; could not make out the third raft, pw ing to the distance; except that there wer people on it: think we were thirty or forty miles south of Cape Flattery when the vessel sunk pased the light on Tattoosh Island 1 between 4 and 5 o'clock in the evening, t ami my companion were on Vbe "pilot nousa all of Friday until ' about 4 P.

I sighted iwo vessels on the American shore, which passed mo, About 10 oclocjj Saturday A, M. the 3fcssenr ger picked me up. " . Henry F. Jell)'. THE i EXCITEMENT IN SAN FRANCISCO. There was great . exciteraeut in this city on the receipt of theiieiVs,-and the telegraph and newspaper offices and merchants' exchange were bj sieged by per ns who hail friends or relatives on board! No one seems to know the names of members of the Hurlbut aud Rockwell troupe, but it is supposed th&t Funny SJarhton was one of them, and the others werepeifor formcrs picked up in this part of the country. The steamer L03 Angelos will be dispatched on her arrival to morrow to save the survivors, if there are any. Jelly says there was no terror or confusion on the part of the passengers, aud that if boats could have been launched and properly manned, and as the sea was compara tively smooth, all on board might have been saved.'
