the rescuing steamer Scindiah. If it be asserted that Captain Clark and his trembling followers had reason- ably concluded that his vessel had foundered with nearly a thousand souls, thoa this brings the Captain of the Scindiah into a position which we dealine to place any shipmaster who has no opportunity of explaining his part in the drama. The greater likelihood in that the false statement was put forward with the intention of covering in some degree the almost unprecedented cowar- dice of the abandonment, and that it was advanced on the ghastly principle that the thousand "dead men would toll no tales." Granting that Cap- tain Clark and his valiant officers are still possessed of a certain kind of fooling, their sensations upon finding the 994 men, women and children, whom they had comfortably if faisaly consigned to the deep, coming into Aden Harbour, must have been sach that cannot be envied. We trust that, while the behaviour of Joseph- Lucas Clark and his associates will be de nounced by every worthy journal in the civilised globe, the hearty denuncia- tion so measured out to those who Amorivan, English, Indiaa or Austra-so richly deserve, it will be accepted Han zewspapere, are invited to call at as a sign that the marcantile marine the "CHINA MAIL" Office, where over of this great empire is as hear- tily aebamed of its ex-members and nixty newspapers, dallies and weeklies, the enormity of their guilt as the general from these countries, are now âled for public well can bo.
