are ashore in Garden Reach & one sunk a little ~~beloow~~
below the Garden House, with it is to be feared loss of
life. The steamer "Bengal" is high & dry opposite the
Peninsular & Oriental Companys moorings, the "Nubia"
is dismasted & the "Nemesis" adrift. The old "Hindostan"
which was used as a Hulk & Floating church, sunk
this morning, it appears that having broken adrift
she fouled the "Nemesis" doin her damage & finally
rolling over & over went down opposite the King of
Oude's house. The ships that foundered are as far as
we can learn the "Lady Franklin" "Govindpore" "Asemia"
"Anne Royden", "Loo Choo" "Vespasian" "Ville de St Denis"
"Merrie England"; the tug steamers "Hercules" "Fire
Queen" "Banshee" "Satellite" & "Linnet" & the Hindustan
The "Moulmein" which was generally supposed to have
been lost, is adrift. Great loss of life it is to be feared,
has attended these founderings. Many European
sailors were to be seen, during the gale floating down
the river on pieces of wreck & we have heard the num-
ber lost estimated as high as three hundred but this
we are unwilling to believe. A man named Cleary
whose heroism should be handsomely rewarded

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
