CAUGHT IN THE GALE.
The Times Cork despatch says ten men, sur
vivors from the Borussia, were landed by the
Mallowdale. Their names are as fol-
lows William Stuart Day, doctor; Doo-
little third officer; Wylie, fourth engineer;
Henry Brown, boatswain; William Barnes,
able seaman; James Dixon, quartermaster;
Alexander johnson and Henry Stevenson, stew
ards, and Patrick Cain and Patrick Quinn,
coal trimmers. One of the survivors
states that seventy-six passengers embarked
at Liverpool. The vessel reached Co
runna on November %, all WE'LL After
having shipped some cargo and embarked about
eighty Spanish emigrants. The Borussia pro-
ceeded for Havana on the 26th, the wind being
light from the southeast, with a calm sea- On
November 80 the wind freshened and increased
to gale. On the following day it suddenly
chopped to the north-nOrthwest, blowing
strong, with heavy cross sea, in which the
ship labored heavily. At noon she sprang
aleak amidships. All efforts ut the pumps were
fruitless to keep the ship Free The water filled
the engine room and stolzehole, putting out the
fires and stopping the engines. The crew still
continued to work at the pumps until next
day I'D inst.) when it was determined to

and provisioned and part of the crew, with
about dozen passengers, got into them. Those
of the crew who remained by the vessel were
the captain, second mate, three engineers,
eleven firemen, three stewards, the carpenter and
two boys. Shortly after leaving the vessel one
of the boats swamped, and the occupants, five
in number, were drowned. The survivors state
that the steamers covering board, when they
showed off, was not more than two inches above
water. 1t is supposed that she must have gone
down with her living freight. The fate of the
other boats is doubtful as nothing has been
heard of their occupants since.

25 feet in depth. She belonged to Liv-
erpool, and at the time the disaster over
took her she was engaged in trade
with New Orleans The BOrussia had seen SER
vice in many waters. Just after she was built
she was run as a steam packet between New
York and Hamhuru hnt as naval archifect1lre
improved she fell behind and was transferred
to other waters, and was engaged in trade
with South America and afterward Eastern
ports Her New Orleans agents were

at Queenstown by the British ship Mallowdale,
from Bassein. The Borussia was abandoned
in sinking condition on the I'd inst. The por-

ANGEIES TUESDAY MORNING. NOV. 1879.
Drowned at San Diego

Union. Nov. 15th.1
The dead body of private Robert
w. Coombs, of Company K, Eighth
Infantry, was found on tile beach
yesterday afternoon. Coombs had
been missing since Sunday morn
ing last, and the body had evident-
ly been in the water several days,
as the flesh about the head ard
neck was badly eaten away by fish
es and other marine animals.
Evidence obtained by Constable
Russell showed that deceased was
last seen on Sunday night. About
II O'clock he went into Burns's
saloon, at the foot of Fifth street,
where he took two drinks-one hot
and one cold-one closely following
the other. He started out in very
few minutes. There was every
reason to believe that Coombs had
been drinking a good deal during
the day, but not enough to make it
very noticeable. 1t is supposed that
the two drinks last taken, added to
what had gone before, affected him
somewhat suddenly, and that he
walked down the wharf and fell
