Nobody can help having' tho'gravest misgivings regarding the fate of many smaller vessels now at sea. Wb.cn huge liners are unable to make more than six knots against gales, what is happening to the tiny tramps deprived ol their only means of calling help? Terrible tragedies may happen on the high sens. Several ships are already overdue.”— A. and N.Z. Cable.
