SEVEN!EEN SEAMEN LOST.

British Bark Wrecked and AU on Board Go to the Bottom. San Francisco, July 27.—Word has been received here of the wreck of the British bark William La Lacheur off Cape St. James, on Prevost island 600 miles from Singapore. The vessel left Singapore for Hong Kong May 4, to load at the latter port for San Francisco. She never reached her destination, and her bones are now bleaching on the rocks off Cape St. James, while the bodies of her crew are strewn along the shore or are lying at the bottom of the ocean. Out of the crew of seventeen not a man was left to tell the tale. When she went ashore is not known.
