An item reported that on 25 June smoke was discovered on board of the Dutch ship Hollandsch Trouw captain Brauer of Alblasserdam, Netherlands. She was underway with a cargo of coal towards Batavia, Dutch East Indies. Her first mate inspected the cargo holds while captain was ill and discovered that the coal were brewing. He ordered to close the holds with tarred hatches. A bark ship nearby was signalled that there were problems and which promised to stay around. In the night broke fire out but the bark ship had left the scene. The ship was left west of the Cape of Good Hope (position 10 degrees East longitude and 39 degrees South latitude) and the crew went in two. One boat capsized with just one survivor of the 11 persons on board (included the dying captain). The same day were the 11 survivors saved by the British ship India while the ship was still burning and a French schooner brought them to Bourbon.
