Forty Days on a Rock.

A terrible tab of the sea w« told by tbe tbree surf irons of the crew of the ibip CHencaml, who arrived recently tt Southampton. The Glenoatrd sailed from Sohth Shields for San Francisco ©n M«y 18th last, with a general cargo and « ersv of thirty-four hands. After wowing the equator she encountered fearful weather, aod was eventually drlien _«ihor@ at the south cast end ot Staten Island, The huge seas swept everything from the decks, and lain niter man waa waehed into the surging bb», lomebeing dashed to death oa the rooks in sight of tbeir matps The only hope of escape to those left lay in getting aloog the boom, which overlapped a rock, and although several attempted tbii, ail but three failed. Tho G-leooaird soon broke op, and those who remained oa boird per iahed. The three men who had reached the rook found them srivet in a hopelwa plight. Tbej had no clothing, were weak and ex haiaatfd, and there was no sign of any human habitation. For forty days they existed thcß, living upon seaweed Had mussels. They had given them ■elves up for lost when they were foßod by soma men from a ueigbouring military prison. Thither they were conveyed, and most hospitably nursed through & long and trying illness, and eventually they were sent home by the Argentine authorities.

English Apathy

Pablio affairs her© (writes Mr A B Patterson from London to the Sydney Morning Herald) are condncted on quite a different basis from oars j here, a political career, like the army, is a a matter for tbe 'classes'—wealthy or respectable—and the public don't bother themselves mach aboat the politicians, and the latter certainly don't bother themselves at all aboat the public. To give an example. Tbe Bnller affair Is jost now making as much commotion as anything can make in this vast wilderness. The papers and records dealing with Bailer are all known to be at the War Office, and the whole question could be settled in five minntee, The public ask—at least they don't ask really because they are too apathetic, but we wonld expect them to aek—-(!) Bid Buller make blunders in Africa sufficient to justify his recall ? (2) If so, why was he ap pointed to command the First Artsy Oorps 1 (3) Being so appointed, why was he dismissed 1

I was talking this over with an Eng lish gentleman interested in political matters and having considerable know ledge of affairs: He said—" Of course we know and the newspapers know all th© facts abont Bailer, and the pap^ra can be seen by us, bat not officially. The Ministry have thought it better not to publish them. If iihey do publish them-—"..and be left it to be inferred that things wonld be very bad for Bnll8r» 1 said, "Why don't the public insist on their publishing them ?" I paw a bnndred thousand people in Hyde Park-—certainly most of them had only gone there for what it is to them, a day's sport in the country—to go into Hyde Park and boohoo at the mention ef Lord Roberts—but still they were there, and the press are trying to raise a clamour abont Bailer, and the fiitisie-hall singers are getting great applause for "extra verses" about Boiler and bo one knows in the least how tbe ofiiir really stands.

Fe said, with an air ot settling the matter, "Bat I told yon—the Ministry don't think it worth while to publish the papers." * Well,' I said, ' in Australia, if any thing as Important as this occurred, Ihere would be a dozen members of Parliament who wonld go and demand the) papers, and would tell their con* stituents the truth. There wonld be a member on every step of tbe War Office stairs waiting till it opened in the morning and a howling crowd of tbeir constituents outside.'

After hearing him, and seeing a few things for myself, I began to realise how it was that the favoritism and the oontempfnone disregard for public in teres! that we constantly saw in Africa coiid go unremarked and nncheeked. It appears to be nobody's business to interpose, England and Australia are at two extremes in political matters, Here a general may half wreck an Empire and no one does anything ; with as if a sergeant of volunteers is dis rated for drunkenness there is a labor member to demand a special committee of the Hoase to enquire into it. Those are the two systems, and each has its drawfaicis. You pay yonr money and don't have any choice.

I went to the War Office, the. centre of public indifference in London just now (fou can't say public interest, be emtiso there is is no pubic interest that one can see); one would expect to see it besieged by a crowd of people, consider ing that tbe war is in fall swing • one would expsot to find inventors with new explosives ; colonels with new schemes to end the war; politicians with blunt axes that wanted grinding. Tnstend of that a peaceful, tranquil culm rested over the place, I appeared to be (he Only visitor they had thai day, Trnty it is to imoEtag eonntry !
