THE Loss OF THE Ball EMIAN.—A Board of. Trade
inquiry into the loss of the Montreal Ocean Steam-
ship Company's screw steamer Bohemian on the Abdens
Rock, near Cape Elizabeth, coast of Maine, on Feb. 22 last,
was opened at Liverpool on Tuesday, before Mr. Raffles,
stipendiary magistrate, and Capts. Cowe and Harris, nauti-
cal assessors. The circumstances of the wreck have already
been recorded. The vessel was an iron screw steamer,
valued at £90,000, and had on board at the time of her
wreck a cargo valued at from £150,000 to 1;200,000, also her
Majesty's mails, and 19 cabin and 200 steerage passengers
She left Liverpool on the afternoon of Feb. 4, end on the 22d
encountered very cloudy weather, The same night sound-
ings were found in 48 fathoms. A little after 7 p.m. the
captain observed Cape Elizabeth lights bearing N. W. by W,
and distant as he thought 8 or 9 mites. Signals were made
for a pilot to come aboard. Shortly afterwards a buoy was
seen on the starboard, and though the engines were promptly
stopped the vessel struck directly afterwards. She
began to fill rapidly. The captain (captain Borland) headed
her for the shore, and then ordered the boats to be launched.
In doing this boat No. 2 was swamped, and 37 passengers
and six seamen lost. The other five boats got to shore, and
boats No. 1 and No. 5 again returned and took off the cap-
tain and about 76 passengers and seamen, who remained to
the last. The captain, the cumpany's agents, and the inha-
bitants of Portland used every exertion to provide assist-
enc.° for the unfortunate emigrants, When the evidence had
been partly heard the'oaurt adjourned until this morning.
