It is interesting to the shipping community to know that steamers of 5000 tons gross register, with a length of -100 ft and drawing up to 20ft of water, havo lately entered tho harbour of Natal, South Africa. Tno new dredge has done excellent work since she commenced operations early in Fcbruftw.

The rest of tho crow who were aboard (nine in all) were saved. Some of the men were down below clearing tho hold when tho ship wont over, and they managed to force their way out against tho inrush of water. An attempt was mode to rescue the men who were entombed in the hull by cutting a hole through tho iron plates of the bottom, but tho only effect was to liberate tho imprisoned air, and the shin wont down.
