The strong current of the re-sailed day after to-morrow (atur-Yangtze caused the Dundee to drag, and she drifted down on top of the Naniwa, whose port cable parted, and the two vessels drifted down the river for some distance on the Pootung shore locked together, until the Naniwa's anchor held again and the Dundré drifted clear of her. Very little damage was done to either vessel, the Naniwa losing her port bower anchor with 25 fathoms of cable, which are now being dredged for, and having some of the deck fittings along her starboard side carried away or damaged. The cable of the undre, too, touched the Naniwa's starboard propeller, and it will of course be examined, but the hull of the Naniwa was not touched, and it will not take long to replace the davits, stanchions, accom modation ladder, leadsman's stand, etc., that were damaged or carried away,
