DURING the autumn of last year one of Mesars Holt's China steamers, the Barpedon, foundered off Ushant (cost of France), after being in collision with another vessel, while on the voyage from China to London. On board the Sarpedon the jewellery, and other effects of a young gentleman belang. ing to Greenock, who had died at Hong- song, ware being sent home to his mother.
