A TERRIBLE TALE OF THE SEA.

A terrible disaster occurrea on janu on the coast of Massachusetts, ft'Jttvefviog the loss of a fine steamer and -.the’lives of more than one hundred of fiv'lhe persons who formed her crew and The shipwrecked vessel jflrjiag the City of Columbus, which sailed ff.frg.rn Boston the day before for Sa fejßahnah, to which port she belonged, filter burden being upwards of two thou sand tons. She had not been long at Irlea-before a heavy gale sprung up and throughout the terribly cold night. Early next morning she struck if- the rocks at Gay. Head, at the westerly ifcbgrner of Martha’s Vheyard, the largest nf the group of islands lying off the B(pth£tn .shore of Massachusetts. The j* Stories related by the survivors describe X. scenes of infinite pathos. Soon after vessel struck the captain ordered passengers to prepare for an effort get. to land .in the boats. But they, |r /seeming to be paralysed rather than and perhaps not realising the remained below until the rising iv/,'‘Water drove them upon deck. At that Cti moment a white mass of roaring water upon the,doomed vessel, and to use the steward’s, words, it literally P,’/swept the deck of every human being, felai you would sweep the dust off a floor.” In this way sixty per llV-.stmVincluding every woman and child I^CtOrboard, perished ft once, without one shriek or, one uttered prayer, for there bo- time for either. Many bodies have been found upright, with ly*;life-preservers attached to them, show jng that a fingering death from expo sure has been suffered. v rAfter this there began for the few ij£|-Who then survived a frightful and weary fe#atruggle. Several boats left the ship, fe|but their-management being under- by inexperienced passengers all met wit!} disaster. Some were capsized, others'Vere stove in by being driven - the . rocks or portions of the iSfWrefciic j’and the■ result was that not a SWtngle -life ■ was saved by the boats. i|| r ßy«*this time the rigging was dotted V'v wftft Human beings: As the gale caused llifthe wreck to careen over, the waves |(£.Swept through the cordage, and one js* l married couple were seen to kiss and one another, then they fell into the seething waters. Two brothers y.u * were tup in - the rigging, the elder one actually.cuffed his younger brother as scolded him into courage, and so f;/ kept .the, boy’s heart until, eight or hours ’ later, the boats brought It?’'*deliverance. , Then the lads plunged f?r;;int6 the waves together, and swam to ij «vthe boats as gaily as if they were on jjSj their annual excursion to Conwey Is ®|J^tnd.-:.'Every few moments someone from the rigging, either from ex plibaastion or because death had already ff£'comej while some, even after death plrClijadL.ended, their sufferings, remained jj&i -frozen to the ropes. When this ghastly 'scene came to an end, out of eighty ipiljasseDgeES, t who had started to seek or health in the sunny south, jj&only nine survived ; and of the crew of forty-five, thirteen alone remained alive, ig^.,. The heroiras of Lieut. Rhodes, of the M%eVCnue' cutter Dexter, was remarkable. Sgirwice. he swam . through the freezing 'billows to carry a line to of Columbus.

ANEW DfiPARTURE.—I am going to commence this advertisement by propos ing a conundrum, composed expressly for the occasion, 'and warranted bran new : Why is my new fruit and Italian warehouse like a river ? I can’t. wait until all find out, but, taking for granted that all have got the correct answer, I proceed to state that I have just shifted into Orr and Go’s late grocery shop, where I first made the acquaintance of my friends of Ashburton and surrounnding dis tricts, The “ whirligig of time ” has just put me into the old place, and I trust I shall have the pleasure of doing much business with all my old friends, and with many new ones as well. The enquiry is still made—Where can we procure good tea ? I answer again—Use Nelson Moate and Co.’s pure blended teas, and you will derive much pleasure and satis-' faction. Why ? Because that firm thoroughly understands the tea trade. Mr Nelson is a tea. taster of life-long experience, and his blends ot pure Indian and other teas give universal satisfaction. Try them !

Matson, Cox & 00. DIPPING SEASON, 1884 The Special|lmproved Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water rnHIS NON-POISONOUS DIP ia a -i certain preventative and cure of scab, and ia unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every description infesting the skin of sheep, cattle, and other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for it pos sesses the double advantage of simultane' ously repelling contagion and cleansing the skin from filth. IT DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk of same, but feeds the fleece, maintains the natural lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth. The great risk in curred by introducing newly purchased stock amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. The Dip is not a cheap chemi cal fluid, but a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to benefit the animal and the wool ,* and these ingredients are mixed by new power, ful steam machinery, so that a thorough ‘consistency is always obtained. One dip ping with this Dip (in mid-fleece) will sav the great inconvenience of dipping twice as is the case with other dips.

Among the numerous testimonials we have received last season for this Glycer ine Dip, we select the following : From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep In spector, North Canterbury— “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “17th April 1883. Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and Co.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir,—l have to-day made a care ful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were dipp ed in my presence at Ashley, by Mr Hayward, on the 26th March, in Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward’s Glycer ine Dip. The result of my inspection to day is, I am pleased to be able to state, in every respect highly satisfactory. The sheep were badly infected with lice and ticks, and in consequence, not thriving. After they were dipped they were, at my request put back in the same paddock from whence they came. To-day the sheep have the appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The Wool is SOFT AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS UNUSUALLY BHIQH r and qlossy, considering the short space of time since they were dipped. Although the sheep smell strongly of the dip, there is very slight stain on the wool, as may be seen by the samples I enclose. I found no live lice or ticks, and what is, in,my opinion, highly important, tub tick eggs week all dead. As the lice ova are not easily visible to the naked eye, lam not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are supposed to hatch within fourteen days, and as there are no young lice to be seen, it may, I think, be taken for granted that they are also dead. I attribute this killing of the eggs to the length of lime the sheep were kept in the dip—nearly a minute — which, in my opinion, is not any too long. “ I am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, (Signed) “ Reginald Foster. ” Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, Esq , Longbeach, Canterbury. “ April 30, 1883—The general appear ance of the floes is all that could be wished for. ” “May 10, 1883 —I am more and more pleased with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped in your Dip, and I shall certainly use it next season. I will care fully note the appearance of the wool as compared with that in which other dips were used.” From John McOaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Tiraaru, March 19, 1883. “ I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and I find very sati factory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst hand ling the sheep I find ou.* dipping has been very effective.”



At the late exhaustive trial of sheep dips in Hawke’s Bay the judges reported as follows :—“ At the second examination on the 18th October, we found the sheep dipped with Tomlinson snd Hay ward’s (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc , — Vide Hawke’s Bay Herald, Jan. 5, 1884. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip last year at the N.Z. and A. Land Company’s Stud Flock Station realised the highest price in the London market. Vide Account Sales, 1883. The prise pen of Lincoln Sheep at the late Lincoln April Fair and Newark Fair were dipped with the Glycerine Dip, viz., R. A. and J. A. Thorpe’s, Noeton. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip obtained the Silver Medal at the late Paris Exhibition.

The first drawinv for £2,000 and the second drawing for L 3,000 filled before the advertised time for drawing. The Company were induced to make this third grand drawing for L 3,000 in conse quence of the great success, and also the confidence gained from the public since opening these Hamburg drawings.
