Show The Steamship "Missouri" done to Pieces. London, March 2. Snow continues to fall heavily in Northern England. Traffic on many railways is entirely blockaded. All hopes of saving the steamer "Missouri," "Mis-souri," from Boston for Liverpool, which stranded off the coast of the island of Holyhead' Holy-head' during the heavy storm, has been abandoned. The steamer has capsized, and lies broadside to the sea, and her destruction is believed to be only a question of time. The crew left her just before she went over. They reached a landing safely. The cargo is washing off the wrecked vessel, and boats are near her rescuing what portions of it they can. Two hundred and ninety-five head of cattle were lost. |
