London, March 27. The s.s. China struck on Thursday evening during a thick haze. The mails and specie were saved.
The steamer Carthage proceeded from Aden, and will convey the China's passengers to European ports. Government steamers were sent from Aden to the assistance of the stranded vessel.
The forehull is full of water, but the flooding of the other portions of the steamer was prevented by the watertight compartments. There are hopes of saving the vessel if the weather improves.
