Manv liv.s were lost, and 29 bodies have al- ready been recovered. The Libran was on her way from Marseilles to Bastia, and the Int-ulane was bound for Marseilles from .Nice and Toulon. The pilot vessel Blechamp, which was about two miles south of Maire, •witnessed the collision, and the captain at linee steered for the vessel which appeared to be in the greatest danger.

Seven- teen minutes later the vessel's forepart sank, .and shortly afterwards she entirely disap- peared. The Blechamp at once commenced the work of rescue, a.ided by pilot boat -No. 10 and a boat sent out, by an Austrian steamer .which happened to be near. After the most strenuous efforts the Blechamp succeeded in saving forty persons. She picked up eign bodies, those of five women, two men, and a .child. The Blechamp then headed for Alai- .failles, while every care was given by those on board to the rescued persons. The Bal- tan also brought back 21 bodies from the scene of the collision.—Reuter.
