tain sighted Bombay, but soon afterwards the weather set
in thick, with rain, and- heavy squalls blowing on the
land, amid which the ship gotler rudder unshipped, and,
in consequence, became unmanageable. The passengers
ascertaining the perilous positidn of the vessel, and that
she was driving ashore, became frantic, and attempted to
escape by theloats. The attempt, as may be imagined,
proved fatal. A tremendous rash instantly capsized them,
and at least 60 perished. The destruction of the vessel
soon followed. 'Shortly after midnight she struck, and
'the next moment her masts, with at least 100 of the un-
happy creatures clinging to the rigging, gave way and fell
overboard. "The occupants were either crushed to death
or perished by. drowning. In the course of a few hours
the vessel entirely broke up, and the whole of the re-
maining passengers anitcrew were plunged in among the
breake, Great sacrifice of life followed. Out of the i5O
soulsvotho were alive on the night previous, all, with the
exception of 94, perished. The 94 survivors were washed
ashore 'on fragments of the wreck.

£50000.. The premises in which the disaster commenced
covered an area of ground exceeding three-quarters of an
acre. The buildings were filled with seeds or oils, roughly
valued at nearly £OO,OOO, and it is thought exceedingly
questionable if the salvage will amount to £O,OOO. The
machinery used on the premises was also of great value,
and was worked by steam power, there being two engines
in the place from 25 to 30 horses' power each, but
