Ban FRAScIsco, Oct 1O-[Fer Steamship
from Hong Kong and YoEohamaI- Con-
corning the loss Of the Turkish frigate Err
togroul, Japanese papers place the cause of
the disaster to an explosion Of the boilers,
due to an thrush of cold water from an
opening made by the vessel in striking
against rocks off Kashinosaki lighthouse
during gale. According to the reports of
the survivors, who were brought to Kobe,
the frigate left September IA for Kobe. On
the 18th, when they were off Kasninosaki,
$50 miles from Yokohama, gales sprung up
and heavy sea was running.
Suddenly terrific noise was heard. and
all was confusion. The men and officers
were mostly below in their berths. Those
not Immediately killed rushed up to find
that what remained of the vessel was
laundering. Captain Ali Bey was seen on
the bridge for moment with q lamp in
his hand, and was heard to cry out, Save
yourself. then he disappeared and was
seen no more Navigation OfEicer Hour
Boy also persisted. The chief engineer was
almost the first to die He went from the
cabin to the engine-room just before the
pieces. The sea was soon full Of debris, in
which the men fought and struggled for
their lives. Osman Pasha, the admiral,
was swimming toward the shore, when he
was struck on the head by spar and sank
Out Of q total of 900 souls only tx officers
and ffty-seven of the crew reached the
land. Many OF these were so badly injured
that they are not expected to recover.
The vessel was an old one, and formerly
used as training ship. The engines were
of English make, and bore the date of 1856
The frigate was overhauled before she
started for Japan, and it was intended that
most of the voyage should be made under
sail. In consequence of her going ashore
in the Suez canal, requiring repairs. and
her detention in quarantine at Yokohama
on account of cholera aboard, all taking
some months, change in the original plan
became necessary.
Subscriptions were opened for the relief
of the survivors, and Japanese and German
gunboats lent all the assistance possible.
Up to the 21st of September 100 corpses had
been recovered.
The MusashiRR Marn, which foundered
during gale September Is, in which Cap
tain Frahm and fifty men lost their lives,
was the latest addition to the feet of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha Company, and was
the strongest carrier on the coast of Japan
The vessel was built at Renfrew in De-
cember, 1880. and cost about ESQ. 200.
It was reported that the sailing ship
Forinclen Marn, belonging to the same
company, had been lost in the Hi and only
1--WE lives saved out of thirty.
The subject Of treaty revision in order to
please foreigners under the jurisdiction of
the Japanese courts, occupied the public
attention, and protests from the body of
500 foreigners, mainly English residents,
who met at Yokohama September II, are
bang DISCUSSED at length by the press.
