WATER SUPPLY SCHEME.

To the Editor of the Evening Star

Sir, —At the meeting of the City Council on Tuesday, His Worship the Mayor is reported to have expressed his surprise at meeting with objections to the water scheme from ratepayers. If he innocently supposes that it is generally approved of he is egregiously mistaken. I consider that we have been completely bamboozled by the Council in the matter, as it was dis tinctly stated iv the Council that a meeting of the ratepayers would be called before anything was done ; but instead of that the Mayor is sent down at our expense to smuggle the " Bill" through the " House." The clause empowering the majority of the ratepayers wishing to suspend the operation of the Act to give notice in writing is a mere make-believe,, and ,is evidently intended to threw obstacles in the way of the dissentients. If the Council honestly wished to ascertain the views of the ratepayers let them take the straight-forward course of having a poll on the question.—l am, &c, Civis Auckland, August 27, 1872.

SOUTH BRITISH INSURANCE COM PANY.

To tbe Editor of the Evening star. Sir,—Whilst highly approving of your leading article on the new Insurance Company and its. prospects I think you must have overlooked the fact that the self constituted directors have never called the shareholders together to report or to ask for any sugges tions aa to the " Articles of Assoeiatioa ; or in fact as to any matters relating thereto. This, to me, is such an unheard of and monstrous proceeding on their part that I think it but right to bring it under your notice.' —I an., &C, AN AUCKIiANDER. • .

SATAN'S DEATH-TRAP.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER

GREAT REJOICING AND THANKS GIVING AMONG THE PASSENGERS.

OLD TUB. INTERESTING FACTS FOR MR WEBB'S ; -.CONSIDERATION,;.; :;. ,; IJ [From the San Francisco Chronicle.] ' : .-' ,■' ": By another one of those inscrutable,dis pensations." of Providence the steamer Mohongo has again been permitted to enter the' harbor of San Francisco. Truly.. God -.is" good and his mercy en-, dureth forever! i . -■ ; ■The insane old kettle came' steaming and puffing into l.hje'b^duriag the fore noon. Her passengers were at once, landed and with devout hearts: and-souls filled with thankgiving .wended theirway to the hotels. One of them, John Ward Girdleston, of London, went to the Occi dentaP hotel. He carefully washed his face, put on a clean paper collar, took out his praver,book, and in the presence ot his friends reads with much impressive ness the psalm of thanksgiving for-JUivine preservation from the dangers of the deep. He then sent for a Chronicle reporter. The reporter .obeyed the summons He found Mr Girdlestone "^^"his private parlor and was wariw.^'oJU'elcomed. : • MR GIRRLESTON ENLIGHTENS THE .PUBLIC. ."Ah! I understand your paper is anxious to let thiv people know Ihe truth with reference to the steamer Mohongo. 'The reporter said it was the peculiar province of the Chronicle to let the public know the truth about everything. -" Ah ! Well, I've got something to say, y£ii know, about that blasted ship, and if yon like Til tell it you." The reporter said he was all ears. Mr Girdleston then went on and related his experience. -He took passage fromHono-, lulu, paying'first--cla.ss fare and expecting" first'class accommodations. He did not, wish to aay anything;unfavourable of any j officer or man on board; but certainly had nothing favorable to say of the Mohongo or her accommodations. He and eleven other passengers, were crowded into a little smoking-room, where there was only six feet of standing room, and were the bunks were closely placed together three deep. Whenever it rained, the cabin

leaked, and nearly every article of clothing was saturated. HOW THE VICTIMS AEE FED IN SATAN'S DEATH-TRAP. The fire was not such as should be tabled in the cabin of a first-class steamer. Had he known the inconveniences that he would have to undergo he would not have taken passage in the Mohongo at all. lie was phased to say that he and as many of his friends as he could influence were done with the Mohongo for ever. Some of the ladies were especially loud in con demnation of the line. One of them—an amiable married lady — said that the steward and assistants frequently quarreled among themselves, using pro j fane and obscene language where the ! ladies on board could not avoid overhear ing them. Her stateroom leaked badly, so that whenever it rained nearly every thing was wet. DEUNKEN WAITEES ON SATAN'S DEATH TRAP. The stewards and many of the second class passengers slept upon sofas and on the floor of the lowest cabin because there was no room elsewhere. Ladies were compelled to pass through this cabin, and often had to pass over the j prostrate bodies of the sleepers. The ! waiters were often drunk and disagreeably j familiar. On one occasion a diseased \ cow was killed and a part of its flesh i prepared for table. He was positive it was diseased and wholly unfit for food. Although fruit was very cheap in Hono lulu but little was purchased for the Mohongo, a stunted pineapple or two being a rare and appreciated luxury. Fowls were served but twi.-e a week, and those, too, of toughness sufficient, to destroy the appetite of a seven-day-starvod coyote. He would not again have his wife suffer the hardships of such a voyage for many hundred times the cost of the passage,

WRAT OTHER PASSENGERS SAT

The reporter then called at the Grand Hotel and saw another gentleman who, with liis family, came over in the Mohongo. They confirmed all that Mr Girdleston said, and added much more to prove the utter worlhlessness of the Mohongo as a passenger vessel. Some of the passen gers are connected with English journals. They say that they intend to publish statements of the management of the Webb line in the journals which they represent; but more particularly will they condem the policy which keeps a worthless of national importance. A VOICE FROM THE LONDON " NEWS." Thomas Kowett, Jr., of London, who is connected with the London Daily News, was one of the passengers by the Mo hongo. He has furnished us with the following statement of his trip from Auck land, which would go to show that tlie same policy is apparent in the manage ment''of the entire Webb line. Mr Howett sailed from Sydney on the Oth of May in an English steamer —the City of Melbourne. That vessel broke down when five days out, and had to put back to Sydney. So she missed the connection at Auckland, and the mails were delayed one month. At Auckland the passengers delayed eighteen days, awaiting for the Nebraska.

ANOTHER ONE OF SATAN S SHIPS. Mr Kowett tells the story in his own words as follows :We started from Auck land in the Nebraska on tbe 11th of June, early—one day behind time, and notwith standing the boasted power of this ship (dinned incessantly into our ears by the loquacious purser), it took us nineteen days to get to Honolulu, a distance of 3750 miles, only ! But speed one might have dispensed with had we been fairly fed and decently attended. We will only say of the food that had it been one fourth up to tf-hat' one expect from the printed bill of fareffit would have been fit for the gods. Speaking to the letter, we have never seen such miserable fare offered to first-class cabin passen gers in any ship, whether steamer or sailing vessel, and we have been pretty well over the entire world, in all classes and nationalities of steamers. The attend ance was simply disgusting. If one asked for a teaspoon, it was produced from the trowsers pocket of one of a dirty, s|ovenly looking, steward. Without first feeing the particular servant attached to out? table,' we could get nothing—every thing was " all gone, -sir.'' _ In fact, so nidch had they got into 1-the habit of saying " all gone, sir,"' that one of us, on asking.this particular fellow to pass the milk-crackers, was answered, " all gone, sir!'', One more instance,• and we leave the Nebraska. Ar|>assenger found his plate wet and askedWhe steward to change, it. The fellow coolly removed it, rubbed ib on his hip till itZwas. Tdry, and set it before the passenger.-?,".; . ME HOWBT3* STRIKES SiTik'^ J3EATH-TKAP. I Arrived at Honolulu; Jwe^found that old j " Satan's death^jp^AA<^6Jbos^o) wait ing to take us onTtb San "JPrancisoi She .was luJimsed toiatry 160 passeng^FS.jr, we were l-'fth; . atid^^fcJithough we^agnt a note of prote^Tsighed- -by ''most ofj-the^ passengers,.^-to the'-'agentT^although: w? invoked the aid 6\both the' American and British Consuls against this absurd treat ment—the ultimatum was, "If you like to go on, yod can. stop here," Of course tiiere were many on board could not stop, and, with one or two.exceptions, . we ail came on. Her cabins Were filled chock-a-block moHly three in a.cabin ; and th- surplus —twelve, forlorn ...first-class passengers—we packed—we j&ite packed and we medn packed—into ||| smoking room, a deck-house 12 ft&jfrby 10 ; two wash band-basins for_tberfot; and each man had to empty M|« : slops after W(lS hir.» himself over gss sldfe of the sbl P in all weather. The •others below were oven worse off; they had; berths certainly, but their berths leakejpke a basket-so much so that we suppose that was the excuse for not washing^ecks in the morn °£ At any rate the liter's berth and a do" Z en more were : ®#er once dry 'the whole voyage, and the occupants had to Sep in their clothes 4>r thirteen nights, -Still we were first-cla^ passengers. 'THE POLITE AND ATTENTIVE STEWABDS. 'j As to tho fare on board the Mohongo it hWas much on par with that of the, Ne jbraska-no better, certainly. .™W j stewards! no pen could describe them. Two instances :- Dirty - faced, flannel shirted, collarlcss rulliau pbkes passenger lon the' shoulder, «• Soup fof you mister t Points at another with a finger black as the ace of spades, "Hi, you sir ! soup ? Punches a gentlemaMy-looking youth ot seventeen or eighteen in*.the ribs, " Soup for you, sonnie ?" On©'of us complained

of a tumbler of iced water he had given to him as not being pure. He put his dirty, crooked finger i-ito it, stirred it and said, "That's derned mean ice, mister; gives iv all of a sudden; its tho meanest ice I ever saw." Heavens! what a finger! Was it any meaner after his stir ? But the crowning joke was a steerage passenger got two pills from the doctor, and was charged twenty-five cents for them. A se(.'ond-c;ass passenger got a tcaspoonful of laudanum and chloroform in lieu of chlorodyne (which was not in the medicine chest), and had to pay a half a dollar, Cabin passengers have a dose of opening medicine, and this morning had his bill sent him, the sum total being one dollar and a half, and there was yet another cabin passenger who had a gargle, and we are afraid to say how many dollar's his bill came to. THE STJBGEON's LITTLE EEES. The Surgeon on being asked for an explantion said that these were little fees he was allowed to charge —not on the ship's account, but for himself, as his salary was so shamefully small. But if we were bad, the second-class steerage passengers were infinitely worse. Men and women—huddled not exactly together, but next thing to it—a fine Irish pig having the entire run of the house, at all times, meal hours included, and close in the vicinity the cattle and horned beasts have their lair—all in full view of each other. Ventilation ! Not a scrap—one small trap-door, and that >a borrowed air hole from the upper,deck. "What they suffered none but themselves know ; let them write it themselves. Thomas JBowett, je. the 110hongo to remain here awhile, The Idaho will sail to-day for Honolulu instead of the Mohongo, and as the latter vessel will probably remain in port a few days, those who have a taste for curiosities in the way of naval architecture will have an opportunity of gratifying their passion. She has not yet been engaged by either Woodward or the City Gardens.
