The sis. Alexey Morch. Since to arrival in port, st the Russian Singapore, of steamer Alexey-Morch there have been some interesting rumours afloat as to the ultimate fate of the vessel, says the "Straits Times." She went ashore on Palan Bint- ang, on New Year's ere, but, despite the fact that she has been laid up for such a considerable time, she arrived in Singapore ander her own ateam 'and any- thing but the total wreck some people imagined her to be. The ramours, in the circumstances it is difficult to apply a more de- finite description to the talk, are to the effect that the vessel was purchased, whilst ashore, for $5,000, by a kongsi of three local gentlemen and that already an offer of £20,000 has been. received for her from a Japanese shipping concern. Doubt as to the trath of this is expressed in some quarters for her registered tonnage is only 1,179 tons and it has been stated that $20,000 would be a more likely price to
