The Colorado sailed from Hong Kong on December 12, four hours after the Mongol, both vessels being bound to Yokohama. The Mongol, when twenty miles from Hong Kong, struck on a cluster of rocks, known as the “ Nine Pins,” and immediately sank, carrying down with her the captain and his wife, the first and fourth officers, second and third engineers, and perhaps others. Fourteen persons are reported to have been saved. The Colorado passed near the scene of the disaster, but no sign of the wreck was observed. A storm raged in the Bay of Biscay for several days. Many boats, and over seventy persons are missing from one port. An intense feeling has been aroused in France by some papers read in the Yon Hrnim trial. One despatch especially, in which Bismarck says he “ cannot but wish France weak, and deems it inadvisable to strengthen her by contributing to the establishment of a monarchy,” causes profound indignation.
