The African Company's steamer Domira, which met with an accident on Lake Nyassa during a storm, was driven ashore. Subsequently she floated off and returned to Port Johnston. HONGKONG, Jan. 14. Fifty of those on board the steamer Nanchow, which sank in the China Sea, were rescued.
On Thursday, an inqueat was held at Newlands, near Amberley, the residence of Mr Robert Parsons, on the body of George M'Rae Parsons, aged one year and ten months. Captain Preece, E.M., was the Coroner, and Mr Maurice O'Connell was elected Foreman of the Jury.
