Wreck of a Steamer.
LOSS OF LIFE. [PEE I'BESS ASSOCIATION.] Bbisuanb, This Day. The steamer Kanabooker, which was lost yesterday, was owned in Sydney. The captain and seven men in one boat, and the first mate and eight men in another boat left the sinking vessel together, but during the night they separated. On nearing the land the captain's boat capsized in the dark and one of the occupants perished, but the rest managed to reach the shore. The boat was washed ashore, and three of the men subsequently set out in her to obtain assistance and were picked up by a steamer. The mate's boat is still missing. The Kanabooker is the steamer which sank the s.s. Centennial in Sydney harbour a few years ago.
