TO Ocean Steamships-Has the Britannia
Been Struck by Them
There are still no tidings of the missing
steamer Britannia, bound for New York
from Naples, with $50 italian Storage

in New York, says that his great fesris that
the steaI err had been struck by some of
the logs from the great Leary raft aud
was either lying a the bottom OF the At
lautic or had been totally disabled and
was now drifting a. the mercy OF the wind
and waves. The report of the steamship
Venice shows that the logs have beeu
seen even in midocean. They are scatter
ed far aud wide. in fact and in storm
would prove worse than battering rams if
hurled at a vessel by an ocean billow.
Mr.. Ter Kuue said the Britannia after
leaving Gibraltar, on December -, must
have steered directly for the Azores, and
from there her course would be almost
direct toi New York He added that
Captain Parrz2 was an experienced sea-
man and very careful navigator.
