No trace has yet been found of the dumping scow which empties from the foot of Gold street early on the morning of the 21st inst., and its supposed the vessel foundered and the two Italians who were left on her have, it is presumed, drowned. Their names are unknown. John Slavin of 42 Gold street, James Kelly of 21 Hudson avenue, who were also on the scow, were rescued before she drifted out of sight.
