ed that something was wrong and
proceeded to make an examination.
About this time the Seovell broke her

Mr.. Bruce was not injured. When
the Cordin arrived at Vic3burg ct o
o'clock, q crowd Of several hundred
people met her at she wharf. There
we're anxious inquiries for 1riendg and

Ing to the heavy loss among the
negroes aboard the landing was
crowded with women and children OF
