She was making a one-day trip from Gonrock to Kingstown, and was never heard of agam. Her owner, Mr Hugh Flinn, of Liverpool, has published the following statement: —“At the time that the Juverna's boats ivere picked up off the Calf of Man, a lifebuoy belonging to H.M.S. Snapper was picked up in the same vicinity. The night oil which, the Juverna was making her passage from Gonrock to Kingstown was a very dark one, and .seme of his Majesty's ships were cruising in the Irish Sea without lights. The harbourmaster at Port St. Mary, Isle of Man, reported to the Admiralty that this lifebuoy had been picked up, and asking for a reply, in order to see where the Snapper was at the time the Juverna was lost; but no reply lias been received to the inquiry. It now appears that the Snapper has gone into Sheemess dockyard for repairs, and reports having been in collision at Dundee, but no previous report has been made that this ship had j been in collision at Dundee.” Air Flinn , is of the opinion that the Snapper has been in collision with the Jurverna in the Irish Channel, and sank her. The Juverna was a new steamship, built at Liverpool, and engined at Glasgow, and after ho*' official trials she left- the Clyde on August 14th with a cargo of coal for Kingstown (Dublin), under the command of Captain McKinley, and manned by a crew of eight men all told. r^ lifeboats were picked up off the Calf of Man, but nothing that will throw light upon the fate of the vessel has transpired since that time.
