SEA MYSTERYS SOLVED.
FATE OF THE CENTENNIAL. Vancouver, October 28. The discovery in the Sea of Okhotsk of the corroded hull of an iron ship solves the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the steamer Centennial. Six years ago this vessel left a Japanese port for San Francisco, with a .cargo of sulphur, and was never seen again. It was reported that the steamer was in the ice off Saghalion Island, but nothing definite regarding her fate was ever known. Recently while the members of a Russian expedition were travelling through Okhotsk they came across the remains of the Centennial, her hull all eaten away by rust. All her lifeboats were gone, and it is surmised that the crew perished in trying to make their escape from the ship after she had been driven from the course by a storm and had become caught in the ice.
