OTHER WRECKS,
Close on the news of the loss of the Erto grout came the report of the total loss of the N.Y.K. steamship Afusashi-mars, Captain Frahm. The first intimation that something had happened to the vessel was the arrival. here of one of the life-bonts in tow of the Boji-maru, the bearer of the Ertegroul's survivors. The unfortunate news was cat. telegram firmed yesterday morning by a from the head office stating that telegraphic information had been received there of tha total loss of the Musashimaru, off Kochi, on the night of the 16th inst, all hands, with the exception of one Japanere, being drowned. Beyond the bare fact of the loss, nothing is yet known. The Musashi was on a voyage from Shimonoseki to Yokohama with coal, and on her arrival there she was advertised for the, Australian berth via this and Hongkong. She was quite a new vessel of about 1,800 tons burden, and had been out from England barely nine months.
On the same night, and presumably in the same storm, the sailing vessel Yorinobu-maru, also belonging to the N.Y.K., struck on the Island of fishima, Cape Hino, just at the head of the Kii Channel, and foundered with the loss of 20 bands, only of the crew being saved. She was likewise from Shimonoseki with coal for this port. Being a sailing vessel, she would carry no foreign officers.
There was a report current lale yesterday even- Ing that another sailing vessel had been lost with all hands near where the Yorinobu-maru struck and foundered. We have been unable to confirm the report.
LATER DETAILS.
In its issue of the 22nd inst, the same paper ways: H.L.G.M.'s gunboat Wolf arrived here yesterday morning at six o'clock from Oshima, bringing 65 survivors from the wreck of the Erlogrout. Her visit confirms the worst news. The estimate of two survivors first brought here of the number drowned is only too correct.
The survivors numbered sixty-seven, of whom only nine, we hear, were severely wounded, although all were suffering from slight contusions, There were already three Japanese dectors on the spot, but they were insufficiently provided with instruments. The presence of the Wolf's doctor was a godsend, therefore, and he promptly dressed the worst wounds.. The men were being housed in a temple and tea-house, and said they had been very kindly treated by the Japanese, who had furnished them with food, clothes, and lodging. After the

The survivor, from whom we have these details, renched shore with the assistance of a hen-coop after being an hour in the water. He gutes that having taken off the whole of his clothing he was bitterly cold, and only kept himself warm by holding a couple of the rescued fowls to his breast. By the warmth he received from them he was able to sleep, and he made his hed on the sand.
In addition to the above disasters the square- rigged achooner Nunobiki-maru, belonging to M. Kawasaki, and bund from Shinagawa to Hyogo, was lost off the Island of Ishims on the same night. She left Shinawawa (Toko) on the 4th inst., and on the afternoon of Tuesday she ran into bad weather. When off Cape Hino the crew cut away the masts to ease the vessel, but she struck on Ishima during the night and was Out of a crew of ground to pieces on the rocks. 13 hands, to were saved. The Captain, second mate, and a boy were drowned. The body of the Captain was washed up in the afternoon, at

If the Chittles could be dealt with "ng Englishmen would be in a similar situation the natural thing to do would be to cause them to pay their collections into the hands of a receiver, and it is partly with a view to that contingency that Mr. Hornby is called into council. In the meantime discussion of the matter is suspended for further consideration, the sustion being that the manager of the Bank that has been most identified with the Chitties disposed to put trust in their promises, while the managers of the other Banks would prefer some better security.
The public interesi in the matter is.of.course the effect that the bankruptcy of the Chitties would have on "bazaar," and it must be frankly admited that that would be very great. Hut on the other hand it is conceivable that a general smash up of a hindred or two weak traders. would be a benefit, rather than a danger, to the Settlement and its trade. For the greatest of all commercint dangers is the maintenance of a a tottering condition. All these considerations are duly present in the, trading fabric i minds of the Bank managers in whose bands the situation rests, and they will have their due weight. Bat the real point at issue is whether it is or is not. prudent to allow the Chittics to have the uncontrolled handling of their Assets during the period of grace for whch they ask; or, if some control be advisable, whit amount of control will serve as a precautionary measure with unduly discouraging the Chittles from individual effort, and without hampering their peculiar methods of handling and helping their debtors in the bazaar,
