correspondent OF The EceninO Post says:
was passenger at this time last year in the Inflated
Hibernia We had heavy gales during the days OF
the passage and. through bad st0wage, quantity OF
and for a short time the vessel became unmanageable
On the weather becoming more moderate she again
Obeyed her helm The Captain complained bitterly Of
the caroessness with which the cargo had slowed
and observed that II greater bulk OF grain had shifted
that we had experienced. For the rest OF her passage
she keeled strongly TO the larboard side until she
reached Glasgow Possibly similar defect in stowage
caused repetition Of the shifting, and consequent d.
Guilty in steering on the present occasion. THIS might
perhaps loOsened the iron plating and induced the leak
which was the cause OF her loss.
