MARU
The Hiogo News of June 1fth gives the folow in the morning of the 15th the Sumida Maru ing particulars:-At about half-past three o'clock was approaching the entrance to Shimonoseki Straits. The weather was bright starlight, with a Captain Hatice, who has long smooth sea. since established for himself the reputation of being a careful and skilful navigator, was on the bridge, where indeed-be had been all night. The vessel was going eleven knots, and drew about 18 feet of water, as she had heavy cargo, principally sugar, of which there were some 1,400 tons on board. There was every prospect of a safe and pleasant, run to Kobe, when suddenly the Sumida ran on a reef of sunken jocks lying about too feet from e Black Rock, Masuishima. At the place the vessel first struck there was only 6 inches. less water than she was drawing, but anyhow the force of the shock knocked off a great por tion of her bottom, and the fishermen in the locality say there is a pinnacle rock 13 feet high in her amidships. The Sumida immediately filled, and fell over on her starboard side, every tide now listing her more as the sugar melts out. The position of the wreck is very much exposed, except as regards easterly and southeast winds, and from what we can ascertain there seems but little chance of much being done by the vessels the Company have sent down to afford assist ancé,
