The Loss of the Amazon.
[Prom the London Times January 81
The destruction OF this splendid steamer, and tn,
dreadful loss OF life with which there every reason
apprehend that it has been accompanied have created
as might have been expected most painful impression
in the public mind We regret to say that no tiding
have been yer received Of OF the
crew being saved and day two will probably elAps'
before all doubts and uncertainties are removed upo1
that terrible 1t is possible that other boats
sides those seen may have got away from the burning
wreck for there were nine altogether three Of whics
swamped three foated OF with their cargoes and
three REMAINING unaccounted for. The darkness.
night might hy chance have prevented those in the life
boat from observi all ths took place. yet the
Impression among them seems to be that they tn
