During a fog in the Irish Channel on Saturday the Cnnard liner Campania struck the barque Embleton, which left Liverpool on July 19th for Port Chalmers with a general cargo, cutting her in two.
The first and second officers and five seamen of the Embleton were saved.
Eleven were drowned. (Received July 24, 1 a.m.) The steameis Dromedary and Alligator collided in a fog off Belfast Lough. The former carried 600 Glasgow passengers. Forty were injured and five killed.

The Dromedary, an iron screw steamer of 975 tons, was also built in 1881, by Messrs Barclay, Curlew and Co., Glasgow, for Messrs G. and J. Burns.
The Alligator was a sister ship to the above, being built in the same year.
