Straits OF Belle Isle.
ST JOHNS, N. r.. August 7.-captain
Major, of the mail steamer Virginia
Lake. from Labrador, which arrived to-
day expresses the belief that some ship
certainly has been sunk in the straits
of Belle Isle. Reports to that effect. he
SAYS, are current along the whole north
ern coast OF the Island. beside which a
quantity OF deals, cheese boxes and 9TH
er wreckage have drifted ashore al
Flowers Cove near the scene OF the re-
ported disaster
Captain Major is surprised that more
wceclts are not reported, because the
FOG In that region has been the heaviest
known in thirty years, continuing four
teen days, during which time not
slght OF the sun has been obtained. On
saturday, July 30. a large Allan line
steamer with five hundred passengers
aboard, was almost ashore at Belle
TIarbor and on Tuesday last two otfee
liners were In great danger Oh Cha
tenu.
The steamer 7psden Is n total wreck
at Point Amour, owing to the same
cause.
Captain Major expects further news
regarding the reported disaster when
the steamer Leopard, from North Lab
rador, due on Tuesday, shall arrive.
