THE ERIN.
Her Record, Captain and Cargo
Chances of Her Safety.


The steamship Erin, which is supposed to be
lost at sea, sailed from New York for London
December 2S She is slow boat, but fifteen
days is a fair allowance of time for her to reach
London. The is, therefore. eleven days over
due. She has no passengers. Her crew con-
sists OF sixty or seventy men, and she has about
twelve men who are in charge of the cattle on
board.
The cargo carried by the Erin is worth $500. =
600. 1t includes 52S head of cattle, housed on
the spar and main decks, valued at $50, 500;
59,3ll bushels OF corn, worth S24, 945; 20,062
bushels of oats, worth S6,63i; 4S7, 442 pounds of
oil cake, worth S6,525; III bales of hay, worth
S2,33l; 700 barrels of lard OIL worth So 400;
A, 5i4 pounds of manufactured tobacco, worth
S1l, 1888, and rs, 900 pounds of lard. worth go
The cargo was insured by the different ship
pers. Yesterday part of the insurance was
put with the London Lloyds, rs per cent of the
risk being taken. The Erin left in first-class
condition. Capt. Salter, the marine under
writer's Inspector examined her Just before
she sailed in the interest of Boston people who
had placed the insurance on the cattle. He re-
ported that the steamship was all right in every
particular.
The Erin has, for some years been favorite
vessel with shippers of cattle to London, and
Capt. Tyson is regarded not only as a careful
but as an exceedingly able commander. He has
Il special reputation for his ability as COM
mander OF IA cattle-carrying vessel, being cred
tied with delivering cattle on the other side
Ill exceptionally good condition. The vessel
was built at Newcastle in 1874. She is bark
rugged, AIS feet in length. Al feet wide. and 80
feet deep. Her gross tonnage is $500 TONS
and her net. $50. She has one compound en-
CINE and three boilers. In June. 1851, she was
overhauled, and extensive repairs and alter
atoms were made in her. Her value is between
Sl50,000 and $500, 900 and she is not insured
The National line insures none of its steam
ships. 1t has been fortunate in the matter of
losing vessels. Should it prove true that the
Erin has sunk she will make the second steam
ship OF the National line lost during the COM
pany's whole existence. The other one was
