Show Three Hundred Ballon Drowned. New York, March 17. It Is now practically certain that ten freight steamers have been lost on tho Atlantic At-lantic In recent storms. This Involves the sacrifice of more than 300 lives and 82,500,000. Of course, thero yet remains a slim chance that some of the crews have been picked up by slow-going sailing vessels, bound for far distant ports, or that ono or two of the missing miss-ing ships may still be drifting, disabled, dis-abled, far from tho usual lines of ocean travel, but tho probabilities are heavily against that hope. |
