The vesselmen hope to find some trace of the vessels which are reported missing, and probably render some help to those that are in need under the point. The vessels that are missing are the schooners F. B. Gardner, Blazing Star, Leadville, Skylark, St. Peter, and James Wade. The schooner W. I. Preston arrived this afternoon. Captain Van Alsteih reports two vessels ashore on Long Point and several vessels behind and below the point at anchor.

A telegram to-day states that the barge Fawcett, at anchor near Gull Island, was dragging her anchors and going ashore. The tug Hector left to rescue her if possible. The tag Mary went to this barge yesterday, but the captain said he needed no assistance, so the Mary returned without her. A heavv gale has been blowing all day from the southwest, with heavy falls of snow. The schooner Mary Battle, bound to Toledo for timber, has been ordered back to Thorold from here, and will go into winter quarters there. The propeller Scotia passed down this morning from Buffalo.

She left Racine at 6 o'clock Friday evening in the southwest gale and beat her way to Chicago, arriving here at 11 o'clock Saturday morning.
