There were numerous rumors alost on the
lower landing Yesterday afternoon in regard 10
the loss Of two Of our regular and well known

we do not wish 10 give any needless anxiety TO
the many families and others whose interests may
be centered In these steamers, and would not have
referred to the subject at all but from the fact
that il may prevent what we believe would be
