THE WRECK OF THE "SUIHSTANG.".

Mr. R. T. Davidson gives the Shanghai Mercury a full account of the wreck of the Suikerang, from which we quote a few para- graphs. After relating the departure from Ichang (which was left on the 27th ult.), he relates how the ship came to the Ninkan Gorge and Tung Sing rapid, the "Devil's Gate." Here there is a deep though narrow channel (said to be only 25 or 30 feet wide) close to the centre rock, and a shallow one near the north bank through which pass the jaoks pro feeding up river. It was through this deep Channel that a steamet's course would be. Some who went ashore were told by the sampan men that there were only two feet of water on the roska, indeed it was so little that the large native junks bound down stream at this season tranship their cargo at the other and of the rage and send it down by small boats, so as to cross the Chin or Hain Rapid and tha Tung Sing drawing little water.
