Jumna arrived at Hobart, Tasmania on 4 November 1881 from Port Louis, Mauritius, with a cargo of sugar and unable to obtain a charter, took in ballast, and left for Fremantle, Western Australia on 19 November and was never seen again.[2]

The Australian National Shipwreck Database reports that she was lost "between Ports, possibly South Fremantle".[1] She carried a crew of four able seamen and 16 apprentices.[3]
