COWARDLY CONDUCT OF SEAMEN
Information has been received at Rome from Genoa to the effect that the steamer Vilie de Malaga, with sixty passengers and a crew of twenty-eight, has foundered near Savona. When the vessel^ which is supposed to have struck upon a rock, was .found to be sinking a terrible panic ensued -among the passengers, and the crew are said to have availed themselves of the co>ifusion thus created to lower the three boats with which the vessel was provided, and to make good their escape from thi . sinking ship. Forty four of the passengers, however, managed to save themselves, the remaining sixteen being drowned. This cowardly action of the crew has aroused much indignation.
