TILE sCAkDERIA,
an English screw ship Is certainly lost. She sailed
from New York on the 9Th Of October for Queens
town, and has not been heard from again. llss
OF the crew was given in the HERALD OF last sun
day. They were all English not one American
was on board the fated vessel. The Scandefia was
owned In England and probably worth f50,00ct
The total loss must amount to 100000 the value q
the cargo being estimated at a12,00o. The agents.
Il. e. Morgan b Co., said that the ship sailed in
good order and not so deeply loaded as the English
Lloyds would allow her. Their theory Ii that the
ship either sprang leak and sunk or that it came
In collision with some other ship and that both
sunk at the same time. Comparatively little in
terest was felt by tho general public In regard 70
her loss, as the vessel was not regular trader 70
this port and had never been here before.
