Another Ship Lost AT Sea.

SAN Francisco, June lS.-Tbe ship
Champlain, lost yesterday afternoon, had
been ofthe Heads three days in adensefo fog
during which time no observation was
obtained. At the time of striking the
ship had gone about, standing West by
South. The captain supposed that she
was in the vicinity of Point Keys. The
fog was thick that the rocks could not be
seen until she struck, slightly at first near
the stern, then grounded on the rocks
the whole length, knocking the bottom
out. She filled rapidly, and sunk
in a few moments. The men had
scarcely time to get in the boats.
Captain Merrill was the last one to leave
the ship and in getting in the boat over
the bows, was struck by r martingale
and killed. A seaman was lost, Ger
man from Hamburg, known as August
WAS crushed before leaving the ship.
The crew saved nothing. Shortly after
leaving the ship the fog rose and they
sighted the Schover and pulled for her
and were taken on board.

speaker proceeded TO unfold and discuss

many timely applications appropriate to
the occasion, and closing amid the APP
pluuse of the assemblage. HIS effort was
8 splendid one, and well deserved the
many encomiums with which 1t was re-
