DEAL, FES. 5'
The Merchant Shipping Company's steamer
Dartmouth, Captain Davis, from Shanghae on the
21st October, with a cargo of tea and sal h
arrived in the Downs.
t.
She reports that on the 11th January, ,11
4.58 long. 24.17, she fell in with a ship floating
bottom up, evidently a large vessel. Her back wasbroken, and several sheets of copper had we'rk d
off amidships, all the rest appeared nearly new
quite sound. The Dartmouth passed close
leeward of the wreck, but could not see anything
floating about to enable her to obtain any clue t°
to the ill-fated vessel, and there being a strong
breeze and squalls at the time it was not deem'
prudent to lower a boat to go alongside.
