posed TO Have Been Lost.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 1i.-Sh,pping men
are very much exercised over the prolonged
voyages of the ships Lord Raglan and
Gretna. and several opinions are advanced
that they are both lost. A theory has been
formed that they coilided with each
other at Cape Horn and were
both sunk or badly disabled. The
Lord Raglan sailed from this port on Feb
ruary "a. She was bound for England with
q cargo of wheat consisting of "A. 765 cent
ais valued at s94. 400. She was cleared by
George w. McNear. From the time she
sailed no news of her has been received.
She has not been spoken by any incoming
ships.
The Gretna was an English ship of 1,7o5
tons. She was commanded by Captain
Webster and was loaded with q valuable
cargo for this port.
1t is impossible to get any insurance
risks on the Lord Raglan and big margins
are asked for rein urarces on the Gretna.

over the outlook. His dock at Saranac
