SailOrS OF British steamer.
San Francisco Jan. 9.--The story of
the loss Of the British steamer Hupeh,
on her voyage from this city to Hong
Kong, via Java, has been received in
this city, and shows that the vessel
sprung leak after leaving Java with
a cargo Of sugar for Hong Kong. The
Chinese crew refused to work, and the
ships boats, with one exception, were
destroyed during the storm The crew
built a number of RATS, launching
them and setting them atloat, leaving
the captain and one passenger on
board the sinking vessel.
The Europeans occupied one raft
and the Chinese were divided on six
or seven others. The RATS were soon
surrounded by hundreds Of ravenous
sharks, which in their eagerncss to get
at the shipwrecked sailors jumped
from the water Soon the Chinese
RATS were overturned, and it was then
that the Europeans decided to return
to the vessel The only remaining
boat was repaired and launched, the
captain taking command. The Island

learning that the mariners were Brit
ish subjects they made them comfort
able and later sent them to Manila
Nothing was ever heard Of the Chinese
crew, numbering 45 men, and they
must have been drowned or deyOured
by the pursuing sharks.
