LONDON—A Renters dispatch
from Cape Town states that the
Portuguese mall steamer Mob-
samedcs, which grounded several
days ago at Cape Frio, southwest
Africa, has been abandoned and
tiiat no sign of the two hundred
and thirty-seven passengers has
yet been found.
Thus tor, adds tbe dispatch no
boats from the mail steamer have
been picked up and no lhdi,catlona
of tho fate of the persona on board
tho steamer have been discovered.
Owing to the fact that there
are no landing places In the neigh
borhood of cape Frio and also that
there is a very heavy sea running,
grave anxiety is felt for the safe-
ty pt the passengers who abandon
ed the steamer. I
Of the passengers carried by the
steamer when she left, twenty-
nlno were women and twenty-fivo
were children. Two Were British
cltlsens and the rest .Portuguese.
