A Custoins Totai, Mr. Wa, (N), and a few passengers went inin this small bant, besides the boat's crew. It was almost instantaneously smashed against the site and broken entirely to piccos, all the people struggling for lite in the water. The Mandarin had got a life buoy: on and twice the Captain had him nearly out of water, but he was, smashed up under the ship besides being pushed about by the people that struggled in the water, and he let go just as he was nearly saved. Besides him two passengers and two little boys belonging to the ship were drowned, and these were the only lives lost. In the meanwhile all passengers that could had gone into the two remaining boats, both life-boats. It was with the utmost difficulty they were cleared out of the lee one; this beat was then safely got out and given in charge of Mr. Korsholm to get assistance as quickly as Possible. A hole was knocked in the boat in getting it out and a blanket filled into ii. In this boat the highest Mandarins, some more passen; gers and the crew went; in fact both second male, boatswain, and the whole deck crew with the exception of one quartermaster.

The three engineers, who had stood by the Captain like men, now asked permission to try to swim out to this boat to save their lives, and as Captain terson never at that time expected that anybody more would be saved, he let them go. They got a couple of hatches, which had been secured for such an occasion, in the water and jumped over them- selves along with the No. 1 firenian, and were lucky enough to be seen by the boat and picked up. The Captain had got all the passengers up the bridge, about sixty people, as it was the only dry place. The sea was breaking right over everywhere, throwing spray right over all the people on the bridge, and the prospects looked very bad. All stopped together during the night, and a miserable night it was, the ship rolling and bumping, nothing to eat or drink to be had, and of course everyone H.1.G.M. ganboat is, Capt. von Eickstedt, wet through.

At daylight i lot of boats from shole came qut; the wreck was boarded by hundreds of Chinese and per fectly looted of everything they could lay their hands on. ArCaptain Petersen was alone, and besides was afraid that the boats would leave and not save his people if he knocked any of the shore people on the bead, he let them have their own way. When they had taken what they could and all the passengers were safely distributed on the boals, the Captain also left. When they were some distance away from the wreck, the Pechili came up,, got nlong as near as they could and sent the chief officer on board the wreck along with Mr. Korsholm.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
20th October, 1888. We were agreeably surprised to-day to see a British steamer, enter the river, which proved to be the Fookching, a small fron vessel of 77 ton: Mr. Kaw Hong Take of Hongkong is the owner; it is his intention to keep that vessel on the Foochow and Weschew line, and should meet with success. This is quite a new depar- ture and will, no doubt, cause the junk owners to grumble. A nimour is afloat that another steamer is to run between Foochow, Wenchow, Ningpo and Shanghal; if this comes to be true, Wenchow will no longer be an isolated part.
