The Baltimore, Monterey, Helena, and Glacier are at anchor here. The Baltimore has just returned from the north coast of Luzon where she went to look for the Charleston which ran upon an uncharted reef. She was abandoned, and it is supposed has been broken to pieces as nothing could be seen of her. No lives were lost,
the officers and crew reaching land 18 miles distant.
