Loss OF THE JOHN WADE-GULF OF SIAM.-It ap-
pears that the spot where the John Wade was wrecked in
the Gulf of Siam, on the 26th of April, was situate in lat.
10 40 N., long 101 48 E. In the present charts there is no
mention of any such rock, and soundings hate been obtained
of 36 fathoms for a distance of 60 to 70 miles from the spot.
The Government officer recently employed in the survey of
the Gulf of Siam'is disposed to doubt the existence of the
rock in that position, and the British Consul at Bankok
writes that it is doubted there. The assumed rock will,
however, now be inserted in the Admiralty charts, masked
with a " ?."
