ship, La Serena, chartered by the Ade-

with general cargo, and after safe pass
ing the multitude of islands off the coast,
took the ground at Adelaide Islands, about
lAo miles north of Fremantle, and re-

Singapore mail boat. and lowed south
ward to BrOome, in Raebach bay, where
the injuries were found to be of such an
extensive character that the vessel was
abandoned by the underwriters and the
wreck offered for sale by auction. The
vessel was purchased as she lay by the
Adelaide Steamship Company and it was
decided, after stopping all leaks by means
Of cement, to attempt to tow her round
the northern and northeastern coasts of
Australia TO Sydney, where she could be
Cooked and repaired. 1t was a risky I'M

l3ken in tow by the Adelaide Steamship
Companys steamship Franklin and the
long voyage of 3.400 miles to Sydney was
completed in safety.
