THE SHIP AND THE WRECK.
The Orizaba was built in 1886 at Barrow by the Barrow Shiubuilding Co., to the order of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, of Liverpool (which is related to the Orient Company). She was one of the regular liners running between England and the Commonwealth. On her present voyage the Orizaba left on January 13.

This was the first total wreck of a mail steamer on the Australian coast, and the wreck of the Orizaba makes the second disaster of the kind in the history of shipping to t^* tt * continent.
