SUPPOSED LOSS OP TEE BUSSOZAH STEAMER.

A 'booking occurrence, it 'Weaved, hes befallen the
Bumorah st, Captain Gray, belies* to tie British India
Steam Navigation Company. She left the Clyde on the
16th of last month, for Calcutta and Bombay, and there is
too much reason to believe that daring the recent heavy
gales she was lost off Islay, one of the Weeds on the
extreme north west coast of Scotland, and that not a soul
on board has been 'wad to tall her fete. The Bussmah

manication in yesterday's Smear= glees the Mewing re-
formation from the hot-keeper at Eke Vaal, north end of
the island of Islay regarding some portions of wreck which
have bees wished Übore there It is strewed ailing shore
• distance of tea miles west from this station. I beg to
state the following as all the psrtleulsn I have been able
to kern as yet. Four miles distant there has a large life-
boat come ashore, name broken away ; has the
of having belonged to a large steamboat. Your.
miles farther west there has • large boat acme ashore
bearing the name ' Boasorah,
licZw ;' hes also
the appearaace of having he to • l
steamer. Bosh boats have been first-c articles, w1:2;
, built of teak wood and varnished; they are terribly 'smashed.
There has • considerable quantity of what appears as if it
I had belonged to the deck-moms of a steamer coins ashore
only four among the many I have seen that have any letters,
marked on them. Ose bean the word ' Captain 'in gilt
letters covered with glass; • third on brans plate the words
' Water-closet; fourth piece is marked 'Third Engineer.'
It is reported that there has a great quantity
of wreck come ashore on the Island of Colon-
say similar to what I have menticisecL From
the direction of the wind, and the places where
the shipwreck has come ashore, I am led to
suppose that • wreck must have occurred somewhere be-
tween Islay and Grapey Point." The light-keeper ham
further transmitted the following papers, which were pecked
up by • shepherd, about four miles to the westward of the
lighthouse station, enclosed in a small box. Besides the
papers there were two combs, a ft.ew poodle, arid some
writing 4:,.dwohieoliaam.Doott

identifying the venal.
