Wreck of the Barque Fiji.

LOSS OF TWELVE LIVES.

TKB PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Melbourne, September 7.

The barque Fiji, from Hamburg, has been wrecked sixteen miles east of Port Campbell, 163 miles south-west of Melbourne. A party of gentlemen who were talking along the coast m the vicinity yesterday discovered : a a man lying m the scrub almost frozeu stiff. He was torn and bleeding, and the only clothes he had on were, a singlet and socks. Altogether he pre sented a wild and unusual appearance. With some difficulty the man was re stored to consciousness and informed his rescuers that the vessel ran on the coast on Saturday night, There were twenty-six people on board. He and another man started to swim ashore j for assistance, but his companion was ! i drowned. The barque only possessed I one boat, and that was not seaworthy. The party immediately went m search of the wreck, and found the vessel two hundred yards from the shore. The crew were ranged along the deck with life belts. Owing to the telegraph stations being closed the first com munication only Feaehed Warnambool at half-past nine last night, so the , ultimate fate of those on board is not yet known. At the spot where the Fiji is aghore the coast is very rough. It is about eight WJj.es from where the 1 Lockhard 'vas wrecked. The rescued sailor believed the vessel missed stays. She has two hundred tons of dynamite on board, Thft life-Saving apparatus reached the barque Fiji this morning. Fifteen oi the crew landed safely, but twelve were drowned. The ship broke up within ten minutes after Captain Vickers got on shore. Among those ■drowned' are Brisbane, first officer, Lardmau, third officer, and Porter, an apprentice. The rest are seamen whose names have not been obtained. One man named Wilkinson swam back to the wreck to. assist his mateg and died of exhaustion on board. (Received September 8< 11. a.m.) Mbibocjknb. September 8, Wilkinson, who was drowned at the Wreck of the' Fiji, did not belong to the vessel, as at first reported, but was a local resident who was assisting m rescue work. Much valuable time m getting th« life saving apparatus to the scene of the wreck was lost through telegraphic interruption. Full details of the disaster have not yet been re ceived. ,

I soweji the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was | spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sowing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says —He mixed lime .with superphos phate to d,ry the phosphate. On fifty acres he uaocV lime aad phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quartet hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the land which had the most lime, although he ras rtold not to m\~ the lime and phosphate, as. ti» i 6 ii me would liberate the ami\Yonia f ro m the phosphate. Fin^es by saying he is so pleaa»f\ w i fc h fci, e resu it that he intends using lime,again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He grqund the lime into a fine powder ai.d mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of about 2i cwt pei acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drift Jeft on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the tuwij* seeds were sprouted, and finishes by «nying that had it been a damp season he bejieves the lime would have been a thorough success.

He says :—'' Seeing the said Extract advertised m the 'Illawarra Mei'cury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain' a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at .once. He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle Qf the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years.
