Some time in the month of July, 1856, just nineteen years before the recent disaster at the, Crozeta, tho passengers on board the old Strathmore, when she was off the South American coast, were alarmed one morniDg at grey dawn by the cry which went through the vessel ot .*• Land ahead ! " The' Bhip was at once put about, but her head could not be turned sevward before' she was close in-ahore An hour more of darkneas would in all probability have refultedTia 'shipwreck. The Stratbmore had also ai'narrow escape from running on the Snares when she was approaching the New Zealand .coast. Amongst her passengers, who have commented upon the coincidence, we have'had mentionel to us the names of Sir J. L. Richardson, Dr. Hulme, Mr John Bislop, Mr W. D. Murison, Mr Hownrth, Mr A. Liyingston, Mr Colin Al'an, and Mr W. B. Ogilvie.-i- Otago Times.
