The captain of the Zanita states that the weather was equally and there was a heavy swell at the time of the collision. The impact was slight, and in about two minutes the ships were clear. No serious damage appeared to be done to either vessel until the caplain of the Coimbatore oried, 11 Don’t leave us; we are sinking." The Zanita hove to and beat about all night and next day, but being lightly loaded probably drifted from the course. The day was cloudy and nothing could be seen. He did not lower a • boat because those in the Coimbatore’s boats were whistling to each other, and because of the difficulty of pioking them up agaio. Captain Evans commanded the Coimbatore. Little is known as to her orew. Most of them were Norwegians. Only four shipped at Newcastle.
