The Safety of the Coquet’s Crew: Anxious inquiries have been made at Southampton as to the disabled steamer Coquet, of Sunderland, which had on board a number of Southampton men. Mr. John Horn supplies us with the following information: “The Coquet was abandoned in lat. 65 N., and long. 5 E., the master and crew leaving her in two boats: The first, boat has been picked up, and the following men were landed on Tuesday at Christiansund, Norway: Captain Garrod, Dickinson, Bell, Boyce, Pinsent, Pullot, Hardcastle, Betcherby, Philpot, Thompson, and Garrod (boy). The other boat, which was in charge of the mate, had not yet turned up, but news was hourly expected of her and the remainder of the crew.”
