The wreck of tn. Holme Edin.

SAN Francisco, May 30--The steam
ship Oceanic, from Hongkong, brings
fuller advices of the loss of the British
steamer Holme Edin, Captain Prentice,
which was lost on the Leuconna rocks.
while on the way from Hongkong to
Shanghai. The vessel, which was from
Antwerp with general cargo, left Hong.
kong April 10. On April %, during =
thick fog. she ran broadside on the Leu
Gonna rocks, and in half an hour the entire
after-part Of the vessel was full of water.
The vessel struck on a narrow ledge Of
rock, the port side touching the rock
above water, while on the STAR
board side the water was ten
fathoms deep amidships, and the vessel
was submerged from the chart room AFT.
Two lifeboats were launched and the crew,
twenty-six in number, put Off safely, los
ing, however. all of their effects. The
boats stood by until the vessel keeled
over when the captain gave orders to pull
away. The boats became separated at
night, but at noon the next day the mates
boat was picked up by the steamer Myrmi-
don, and the captains boat by the Chi
nese gunboat Chao Wo. The men suffered
some from hunger and exposure. They
were taken to Shanghai.
