Hence'Uis jU3t possible that shlp r owners telegraphing time of passages by cable may reckon/to the landfall a* Scilly; and not to the port of destination."

Heing under fullsail. it was impossible to seb,e hold of anything,' notwithstanding the fact that tlie bows were fouled by casks, cases, and two large bales that looked llke.drapery. Every. -.-ihliufTwae-passed iDone.watch, but Mr. Dunn, second • ''ottclrvSoitts tia that there were a'greit number of .'•,Btfl«if*>ftfdS) arid'timbo-riflttings, which ih his mind would onlyfbe «sed on board an immigrant ship. One imßOfiant ljem was that there could plainly bo

seen blue-painted water-ways. Moro than one immigrant ship to the Australian overdue, so that it is impossible, in the present defective state of our information, t° surmise the name,of the unfortunate craft. •£one of the overdue* ships are, .however,- for Sydney. With reference to this the Otago Pat i, Kmes sam.The following extract from a letter "cetvedbyMr Andrew McKinnon, of Port Chahners, from Captain Thomson, of the ship Maulesden, may perhaps throw some light on the subject. . Captain Thomson writes from Liverpool, and the date of his letter is January 15th last, and he relates a startling incident of the voyage from San Francisco as follows : You will be sorry to hear that in'the S.E."trade we had a collision with an old barque belonging to Greenock, called the Marseilles, and sunk her—or, I Bhould say, she sunk herself, for she came stem <m to us just on the port side right in front of the poop, and left the whole" of' her "bows 'in the mate's officer We picked up all the. crew and brought them Home. The vessel sank in' three houra after she struck us. We fixed up our ship and brought her Home, and only damaged six bags of cargo. Ten plates on her port side, several frames, four beams, an* ithe greater part of the poop has to be made new, andit will take two months to get this done." The writer does not give the exact position of the ship when the collision occurred, nor the date, neitheristhe date of the Strathdon's passing the wreckage stated; but as she arrived at; Sydney on the-24th February, she may be assumed to have been off the Capo at the beginning of January. The Maulesden sailed from San Francisco on September lst,*nd made the passage Home in 117 days, thus arrivin£D<Scember 24th. Hence ahe may be assumed to have beeni in the S,E. trade six or seven weeks earlier. ; Now, a few degrees "south of the southern limit of-the s.b. traae belt the sweep of the South Equatorial Current sets to the eastward, and as the current orthe Cape of Good Hope sometimes sets in the same direction, whilst to the southward of it there is an eddy current very frequently setting to the eastward, it would be quite possible for the wreckage of the "Marseilles to have found its way just past the Cape by. January, especially ifjits drift were promoted by westerly winds. •■■ r
