night. \ large quantity of merchandise
has been secured by diver Walters.
The carcass of horse was found on
the lower deck
1t was reported that james Murphy
was among the passengers, and as he
could not be found. it was judged that
he had been drowned when the vessel
was submerged. This cannot be found
out for certainty as no one seems to
have seen anything of him since the
time that the vessel sunk.
The Ericsson Company have ordered
that \ thorough search be made, and
diver Walters has made every excrion,
to find the missing nan, but has failed
to find any evidence OF him having been
drowned. The men at work on the
vessel have secured greater part of the
cargo, but much OF it has been consigned
to the waves. The steamer Richard
