Further Particulars of the Foundering of the British Steamer Glenelg Last
Month.
(By Associated Press)

San Francisco, May 5.--Particulars of the loss of the British steamer Glenelg
bound from Melbourne to Gippsland were received by the steamer Alameda. The
cable reports received last month had it that all hands were lost but the
mail advises state that three men were rescued and that 20 passengers and 13
crew went down with the vessel. The wreck was caused by the steamer springing
a plate during a storm.
There was a heavy sea on and it was with difficulty that the boats were
lowered. The women passengers were placed in one lifeboat with two officers
and several seamen. The second boat swamped and all hands were lost. The
boat with women has never been heard from.
