The big British ship Senegal Is at the bottom of the Pacific in latitude 30.17 n. longitude 119.08 w. It was in about that locality that U Olseu, a sailor on the schooner Mary C. Russ, saw her red light go out one stcrmy night at sea. The Senegal was bound in ballast from San Diego to Tacoma. She was a large Iron ship of the latest design, and was considered one of the best in the English merchant marine service. The captain was accompanied by his young daughter, and the crew forward consisted of twenty-seven men.
