After an eventful and useful existence of a quarter of a century, the old coaster Namor has at length met her fate. On the morning of the 3rd inst. she struck a sunken rock close to Cow's Horn, outside the northera entrance' to Haitan Straits, The vessel was beached in an exposed position, and the crew and passengers were landed with the exception of eight Chinese. Sixteen are reported to be missing, but it is thought probable some of these may have made their way home on landing. Little hope of saving the vessel was entertained from the first, and latest reports state that no trace of the wreck is now to be seen. The Namoa, which belonged to' the Douglas Steamship Ca, Ld., and was pirated in 1890, when' her commander (Capt. Pocock) was shot dead, was insured in local offices. She was making her 584th trip when she bumped the fatal rock.
