The steamer General Chanzy, a mail boat belonging to the_ Compagnie Generate Transatlantique, running between Marseilles and Algiers, foundered off the north coast of the Island of Alinorca.
Eightv-seven passengers and 47 of a crew were aboard, chiefly French and Italians. There was only one survivor, a Customs official named Alarel, and he is unable to give an account of the disaster. Apparently the steamer was caught in a violent northerly gale and broke in two upon striking a reef.
