AUSTRALIAN NEWS.
By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright (PEK UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Bbisbane, June 20. A passenger who was on board the steamer Dacca, wrecked in the Bed Sea, has arrived here and can give no reason for the disaster, as the mooa was shining brightly at the time the vessel struck and they could see for miles around. A large number of passengers were landed in their night clothes and the surrounding water was literally swarming with sharks. The firemen belonging to the steamer behaved badly after the accident, and several of them who were suspected of stealing money belonging to the passengers were taken before the Court at Port Said and sentenced to terms of imprisonment.
