were soon put out, while the heary waves by the centre of the typhoon, and the fires swept the decks of everything. The crew were set to work at the pumps to keep the dismantled vessel afloat, which they with difficulty succeeded in doing until 5 p.m. on xy, the 30th ult., when the Trinidad's signals of distress were sighted by the P. & O. str. Rohilla. The exhausted crew were taken off by the captain of the Rohilla and brought on to Hongkong, where they arrived on the Ist inst. The Trinidad, it was thought, would not float more than five hours when she was abandoned, as she had 16 feet of water in her stakehald. No lives were lost.
