Show BURNING FOR NINEilONTHS Derelict Abandoned by Crew Is Still Afloat at Sea. (By Pacific Cable.) HONOLULU, April 16. Advices from Japan received here on the Pacific Mall steamer China state that the derelict British ship Fannie Kerr was sighted on March 22nd by the British ship Heathdene. Smoke was issuing from the hull of the vessel and all her masts were gone. The Fanny Kerr, bound from New- . castle, Australia, for San Francisco, was abandoned off Honolulu nine months ago and this is the first time that the vessel has been sighted since. The ship was on fire when she was abandoned and that she is still afloat is probably due to the fact that she has a steel hull. |
