Of the particulars connected with
the loss of the German ships, we
know less. The dashing of the Eber
in pieces on the rocks, with the sud
den destruction of almost the entire
ships company, is the most appall-
ing feature of the whole series of
disasters. But however sincere our
regret at the untimely fate of so
many brave men, and however warm
our sympathy for families and
friends, their deaths cannot, of ne
cessity, come home to our feelings
with the same intensity of realiza-
ton as in the case of those we
have personally known and es-
tepmed.

seven days from March 11th to
March 18th inclusive, from 14s. Sd.
