THE MISSINNG SHIP STRATHMORE.

The following announcement has appeared in the Shipping Gazette:— "Buenos Ayres, 25th September— The Eliae, Captain Wallis, arrived here from Liverpool reports that on 30th August, at 3 p.m., ia lat. 23 5., long. 40 W., she passed the hull of a large iron ship abandoned. It appears to have been recently burnt. At the bow was a man figurehead, painted white, and at the stern an animal's head with horns ; the name was obliterated, cm account of the heavy sea the wreck could not be boarded." The Dundee Advertiser says :As there was a general concurrence of opinion in Dundee to the effect that the above applied to the Strathmore, we took the opportunity of ascertaining what the builders, Messrs Brown and Simpson, thought. They inform us that they feel confident the Strathmore is the vessel referred to. She had a man as a figurehead, and it Was painted white, but there was no animal's head and horns at the stern. On the stern there was the arms of Dundee, and it was not unnatural for Captain Wallis, viewing the wreck from a distance to think that what he has described was represented. Messrs Brown and Simpson think that the vessel mast have blown np, and that in all probability both passengers and crew bad perished. It appears that on several former occasions a derelict similar to that described had been seen, but as it was reported there was a woman as a figurehead, it was concluded it was not the Strathmore. The builders are endeavoring to open up communication with Captain Wallis, and if successful they will furnish him with every information which would assist him in form* ing a definite opinion.
