Mr Low, we are told, was sleeping when the collision occurred, and leaving his cabin in his pajanas, had not time to return and dress himself. The transpurt settled down* in four fathoms of water, her masts being only visible, and a rumour was current this aftermon that a telegram had been ready- ed from Guizlad to the effect that sho hind already equenced to break up.

them. The boatswain of the transport took at Shanghai and longkong, at LANE, charge of the dingy and rendered valuable service in the work of rosening the people from the wreck, making three or four tripa to the Nepaul.
Mr Coates, the well-known and highly. respected pilot of the P. and 0. Company, was in charge of the Nepaul at the time of the collision, and during the many years he has been connected with the Company, this is the first accident he has had.. It is well known that he has the reputation of being ene of the most experienced and most careful pilots on the coast.
If what we hear is true considerable oager- ness was displayed both by the P. md 0. officials here and the Chinese Authorities in retaining lawyers in the waiter. It is said the Chinese rushed off to Mr. Drummond at once, but they had no power to settle,' and while they were obtaining proper au thority to act, the P. and O. stepped in und secured Mr Drammond's services.
