LOSS of THE GREAT LIVERPOOL.
PILESENT To Hart MAJESTY.—Some time after the passen-
gers of the unfortunate Steamer, the Great Liverpool, had
been safely landed, it occurred to the late Captain M'Leod
that it was possible to save from the wreck a box which had
been specially consigned to his care, containing a present
to her Majesty from a wealthy native merchant of Bombay.
Captain M‘Leod, accompanied by the chief officer, Mr.
Hamilton, and two of the crew, got on board the steamer,
and cut through the deck to the place where the box
was deposited, and with great danger and difficulty got
it on shore, and from thence it was conveyed with the
mail boxes to Corunna, and consigned to the care of the
consul, who fearing it might have been damaged by being
so long under water, unpacked the box in the presence of the
captain and officers. Although it was inclosed in many
cases, the water bad penetrated through them to the morocco
case, which was richly ornamented with the royal arms of
England. The present consisted of a large sized and richly
wrought gold box, an exquisite specimen of Eastern work-
manshipZ worthy of Benvenuto Cellini ; the box was sup-
ported by four stands in the form of snakes, and it contained
several dresses of the most elegant and costly fabric, worked
by the needle, and of cobweb texture, but the salt water had
penetrated, and the consul's wile had them carefully washed
and repacked, and they were transn;itted with the mails to
Southampton. It was fortunate that the box escaped the
clutches of the Spanish brigands, whose infamous conduct
has been already described.
Just before Captain M‘Lcod committed suicide, he gave
into the charge of the consul a handkerchief containing gold,
with which he had been entrusted, to deliver to a merchant
in London, with a special recommendation that it should be
forwarded to its destination.

The escape of one child was miraculous, and has not yet
been mentioned in the accounts published of the disaster.
The first boat, it has been stated, was upset in the raging
surf, when three persons lost their lives, and a second Child
was supposed to have been drowned, but when the boat
righted the infant was found floating at the bottom, and was
taken on beard the vessel as it,was going to pieces; restora-
tives were applied, and the child was saved. The chief
officer, Mr. Hamilton, was not on duty at the time when the
steamer struck, and is now in town.
