reached at a depth of about 1,150 feet,

built in San Francisco. Last year they
had the Surprise and Eclipse built
there for the sugar trade, and both
proved to be handy and inexpensive

Wreck of the Rio.
Captain Ross, who has been search

Rio de Janeiro, claims to have found
the hull in fourteen fathoms Of water,
a short distance inside of Mile Rock.

found by Ross, seafaring men will
continue to hold to the opinion that
the wreck is not so far out. It is the
general impression, too, that one of the
government surveying steamers, with
its superior appliances, will have to be
called upon if ever the Rio is to be
definitely located.
