AN "UNBINKABLE" SHIP. Nautical experts in Sydney expressed the utmost astonishment that a vessel constructed on the lines of the Pericles should have foundered. Every provision; had been made to ensure the vessel floating whatever mishap occurred to her, and sho was popularly believed to have been practically an unsuitable ship.

The PericleG was divided by eight watertight bulkheads into no fewer than nine watertight compartments, and she was constructed on the cellular double-bottom principle, the double bottom extending the whole length of the ship. It was believed by the designers, builders, and owners that these provisions would afford ample safety even in the event of a. collision of a veTy serious character. Notwithstanding these safeguards, however, tho Pericles sank in deep water within two hours and a half of the time eho struck the rock. ' MYSTERIOUS WRECKAGE. IS IT FBOM THE WARATAH? ..
