The floating dry dock which was taken
TO Havana for the use of the Spanish gov
eminent just before the late war, has been
sold to foreign capitalists, who propose
using it at Vera Cruz, Mexico. The price
paid was about 100000. The purchasers
are negotiating with New York tug boat
owners to tow the dock to Vera Cruz.
The marine underwriters are nvestigat-
ing the sinking of the British steams hin
Adulu, which occurred on Sept 26, near
Kingston, Jamaica She went down in 400
fathoms of water There was a perfect
calm at the time. The steamer listed twice
after leaving Kingston, from which port
she had sailed at daybreak, but the helm
righted her. Her third list which occur
red when she was about three miles off
the eastern extremity of Jamaica, was so
alarming that the captain ordered the car
go, consisting of 1000 barrels of oranges,
thrown overheard. Every man was on
deck at the time, but the list was so rapid
that nothing could be done. Life belts
were served out, and the boats were low
cred. The crew. numbering seventeen,
leaped overheard. Five of them were
drawn into the vortex as the steamer sank
and were drowned Conner, the CARPENTER
was fatally injured by the revolving pro-
peler, and died soon aftefward. No sat
isfactory explanation has been offered for
this accident Capt Forwood suggests
that the suction pump in the ballast tank
may have burst, letting 40 tons of water
into the hold The general opinion is that
the Aduia was top-heavy, as her cargo
was all between decks.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
during the past as to the cost of the White
Star leviathan Oceanic. Rumor has vari
ously stated the cost of this mammoth YES
| sci at anything from $25O0,OOO to s., 500 900.
A more definite datum on which to work
however, is the amount of insurance ef
fected. The White Star Company has Civ
en- out lines amounting to S2500.000. ana
has retained to itself $75O000 This makes
the insured value $S.250OO0 But this fig
ure is probably an underestimate for there
Is good reason 10 believe that the shin
is by no means insured to her full value
