LONDON, Jan. %, 1879.
The following letter, dated Cork, January
18, has been received from Captain Adams,
Of the British ship Ralston, by the Adj
miralty, and communicated to Lloyds:-
THE BURNING SHIP.
SIRs-At six o'clock on Friday last I
arrived here. On Thursday, when about
fifty miles to the westward of the Fastnet,
I saw, while on deck, at three o'clock in the
morning, vessel on fire and distant from
my ship about two or three miles. l ran
down to her to offer assistance. On APP
preaching saw steamer alongside. Ac-
cording to my ideas, the latter vessel was
not more than thirty yards off to windward.
I passed to windward of both vessels, but
could not see any one on the wreck.
''KEEP ON YOUR COURSE"
hailed the wreck ns follows:-
"Can be of any use?"
''Keep on your course, or you will burn
toov' was the roughly given answer re-
ceived.
Astonished at this treatment, kept on
under easy sail. An hour after daylight
observed the same steamer coming astern.
She hailed me, asking me where I was
going. replied that was bound for Cork.
The officer on deck who spoke to me told
me to be sure not to mention word about
having seen the vessel on fire, and that they
had her crew aboard. He also said eff
you make any statement or report about
what you have seen you had better look out
for yourself on your next voyage out"
THE STEAMSHIP DESCRIBED.
The steamship was built of iron, was
painted black, was low in the water, had
black pole masts, black tunnels between
fore and main masts. She had no name on
stern or bows. observed that she had sew
eral boats at the davits, more than steam
ships usually carry. The two on the star
board bow were steam launches. The
steamer did not appear to me to have at all
the appearance of war vessel or m erchant
steamer. was close to her. could not
see any guns or gun ports. Her decks had
lots of men, all wearing blue guernseys. I
should think that there were one hundred
and fifty or two hundred on the upper deck.
They were apparently Englishmen, but
am not certain of this. I afterward saw her
steaming slowly off the Fastnet.

Gently appearing in New York morning journal at

the miserable imputation which savors strongly Of
personal vehemence. 1t is not the intention or de-
sire of the Dominion government to take any steps
that would disturb the friendly relations exist

steps taken to protect Canadian industries will be
done for that purpose alone and not to open hostii
