LOSS OF A FRENCH BARK AND Hen CAPTAIN.
The loss OF the French bark Nancy and the unfor-
tunate death of Captain Naugat resulted from the
Peninsular and oriental steamer drifting upon the
bark, cutting her chains and anchors and causing
her considerable damage, and not, a. was ut first
stated, from the bark drifting upon The steamer. It
seems from the statement OF the people who were
on board the ship that after the accident she difted

scarcely done so when he lost his mold. The only
explanation that can be thought OF is either that the
