TBK CITY OF GLASGOW.
The Pl1kadSpha Inquirer in recording the discovery
Of the floating ches, inscribed g. b., City Of Glasgow

The above statement II frHe places the comm ,nder Of
the Brnns Pride position which sheds bat little lu

OF GasgOw be could yet pass this relic upou the open sea-
enough TO observe minuey ts color lis ornaments

From the bunglng account OF the large black steamer

suddenly disappeared when the observing vessel

beartless attempt TO open aesh the fountains of sorrow

and unsatisfactory. In instance rhe spoken four

May but nearer approach proved it to be fog bank.
Then she turned up at anchor the Florida Ree-in
place where only vessels Of light draught OF water could

be of the small steamers employed in the Coast Sur

the night of the 10th ut, Cape Henry, and which
proved he herm. brig Of $50 tuns abandoned and set
on fire. was not ao set down the missing steamer.
