THE " RAJAH OF SARAWAK."-In the Straits Times, of the 8th July, the following appears : " We take the subjoined from the late English shipping report, and will thank any of our readers who can give us information respecting
the steamer it states as bound to Batavia: .The Rajah of Sarawak, Bell, from London for Sydney, on passing Madeira, got embayed with a heavy swell setting ou the land, when about 3.30 A.M., April l8, signals of distress were mode, and assistance rendered to her by the City of Glasgow (steamer), Stavers, from Lon- don for Batavia.' " It is very strange that letters received from London, dated May 24, five weeks after this accident is reported to have happened, make no mention of it. Although assistance was rendered, we presume from the reading of the paragraph it did not prevent the vessel from going ashore.-Sept. 12.-To the Editors of the Sydney Morning Herald. Gentlemen Observing in the columns of your newspaper of yesterday a statement relative to the ship Rajah of Sarawak having got on shore on the Island of Madeira, and that the steam-ship City of Glasgow came to her assistance, I beg to inform you that the City of Glasgow screw steamer
was commanded by Captain Campbell on 26th April last* and traded between Liverpool and Philadelphia, and therefore it is impossible that steam-ship could be in Madeira to render any assistance, being entirely out of her course. The City of Glasgow was built by Todd and Macgregor, on the Clyde* and formerly com- manded by Captain Mathews.-A SHIP MASTER FROM THE CLYDE.-Sydney, September 13.
