A telegram received at the Yokohama office of

the Nippon Yusen Kaisha states that the British steamer Maharajak, under charter tothe N.Y K., which left Yokohama at 11 am, on Friday for Yokkaichi, stranded on a shoal off Katase, Izu province, an hour later. The passengers and crew were saved. A later telegram states that the steamer will prove a total loss. The cargo carried was small, consisting of about 46 tons of fish manure shipped at Hakodate. There were no mails, but nineteen steerage passengers were taken aboard at Yokohama. The place where the vessel is wrecked is about two miles and a half from Inatori, Izu Province. Messis. Hitaka and Honda of the head office of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha are at the scene of disaster. The vessel was, we believe, re- cently sold to a Chinese at Hongkong.

The Maharajuk, commanded by Captain 1. Groves, is an iron screw three-masted 91eamer of 1,666 tons, registered ico A1 at Lloyds, built at Marland and Wolf's yard at Belfast in 1879. Her length is 305.8 ft., beam 51.7 it, and draught 22.2 it.

The British steamer Crunley, which arrived at Yokkaichi on the and instant with 30,000 bags of Rangoon rice, was lying outside the barbour limits, and far from the shore. Her carge had been monly discharged, and she had only about 1,900 bags abuard. She was carried on the crests of huge waves and strand. ed within a few cho from the shore, south-west of the harbour. As already reported, the dam, age done to the steamer, fortunately, was slight.
