Brisbane, August 18,
The position of tho steamer Port Chal mere, which stranded on a hard sand patch off Ulrica Rsef, though the vessel is mbkisg no water, looks as if she had been strained.
Heavy se»3 are brcakiug against the vessel.
The stranding occurred through the pilot mistaking the outside passage for the Albany Passage. It is improb >b!e that the vessel will be floated without jettisoning most oi the coal oargo.
