THE LOSS OF THE “UMGENI”
At Lloyd’s on Wednesday, the British steamer Umgeni, Brett master, of 2622 tons gross, was officially described as being very much overdue. She left the Clyde on November 7 for Lagos, and was last seen on November 9. An announcement was made on January 17 that several bodies, supposed to be those of the crew, had been washed up. The Umgeni was built by Sir J. Laing in 1898, was owned by Messrs. Bullard, King, and Co., and was normally employed in the South African trade.
