Our Ichang correspondent writes under date June 19:—The new steamer Ch'uantung built in Shanghai and belonging to Barry & Dodwell, Chungking, has come to grief in trying to negotiate the Yeh-T'an Rapid. She apparently. had not the power to steam over it unaided, and had to put out wire hausers, and use her windlass. - The boulder to which the hauser was attached gave way, and the rope in rebounding badly injured two men who were sent down to the Mission Hospital at Ichang. Thet ship is now lying at the bottom of the Rapid with a leak in her No. 2 hold.
