Lloyds stating that the British steam
ship Pak-Ling, Captain Lewis, which
sailed from Middlesboro on June 1S.
and from London on July 2. for Yo-
kohama. with a general cargo and
several passengers on board, has been
captured by the Russians, has been
contradicted.
A subsequent dispatch to Lloyds
reported the Pak-Ling as proceeding
on her course en- route to her destina-
ton. The belief is that the vessel
was held up, her papers and cargo
examined, and the steamer then per-
mitted to proceed.
She sailed from Gibraltar on July
7, and is supposed to have been
stopped in the Red Sea near where
the Malacca was held up. She is a
large steamer, of 2.S75 tons burden.
and is an extremely valuable prize.
