Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 12. -- The propeller QUEBEC and steamer MANITOBA, schooner EVENING STAR and GLADSTONE ran ashore last night while trying to make Southampton harbor in a heavy snowstorm. The MANITOBA and the vessels are in danger of being total losses. Up to noon today the crews and passengers had not been taken off the vessels and steamers. The QUEBEC is more safe, being inside the reef and near the pier. Both cargoes of the Beatty line boats are insured in the "Big Four' companies, and will prove total losses. Tugs with pumps and working outfit are now working under the orders of Mr. Beatty, who left this morning for the wrecked steamers.
The EVENING STAR is a small vessel hailing from Goderich.
The GLADSTONE is light, bound up for cedar ties. She is high and dry.
