LOSS OF TINE AMERICAN SHIP "ASTELOPE.
The ship Antelope, Clarke, of New York, left the
outer anchorage Of Bangkok on the 2Ith u Tor Hong
Kong, with cargo OF general merchandise. The
voyage prospered without any occurrence worthy OF
. noe until the 9Th inst, which day good observa-
TONS were taken which made the chip about 10 miles
distant from Discovery Shoai Paraces). A course
was accordingly steered n. by e. which course gave
the shoal vide berth Of 40 miles. During the night
Of the 9Th the wind was very light and on the morn
ing Of the 9Th, between ~ aud o'clock, the snip
struck the shoal There no appearance o.. break
ers, nor rocks above water; the at the time WIS

before the ship struck but there not time Ia alter
the course II should here be mentioned that obser-
yatons made when The ship on the shoal gave her
position correctly which, proving the chronometer TO
be right leaves no doubt that the current had set the
ship 40 miles out of her course between noon Ot the
9Th and a. Of the 9TH, or in Is hours. immediately

bottom could be found at very short distance from

struck and the cargo jettsoned, in the hope that
the ship might have struck az half flood, and would
float off next tide; but this proved hope, for
the tide continued falling until ?. H. making clear
that the ebb and food each L. hours and that the
ship must have grounded at the top of the Hood. The
fall OF tide proved considerable, leaving only three
feet of water under the ship. The entire shoal then

breeze should spring up there would be no possibility
OF getting the boats clear, II decided to quit al

that there was no moon. Accordingly at p. m, the
crew took TO the boats. After mature elaboration it
was deemed prudent TO take arms, under the idea
that they might trouble and could do no good
