WRECK A STEAMER.
ABOUT SIXTY PERSONS MISSING.
Up to yesterday, says a late London paper, no news has been received of three missing boats of the Gulf of Aden, consequently the fate of about 60 of her crew and passengers was 3till doubtful. The Gulf of Aden, although owned in Greenock, was one of the Gulf line from Liverpool, and left the Mersey under the command of Captain Munro on Feb. 4th. She had a crew of 39 hands and 42 passengers. Of the latter four were from Liverpool, three from Scotland, and the remainder were Irish emigrants. The seven from Liverpool and Scotland were the only saloon passengers, and all of the passengers embarked at Liverpool, the destination of the vessel being Coronel, etc. The steamer was wrecked on March 12, in lat. 47, about 100
miles from land. Four boats left the vessel, and the one in charge of the third officer reached Chilos Island, and is the only boab that has been heard of since the wreck. All of the boats had instructions to make the port of the way. The owners are sanguine of hearing from the missing boats very soon. It was through searching for the missing boats that the Chilian cruiser Angaraes was lost the other day. Altogether the steamer had 81 people on board.
