SORROW FROM THE SEA.

Rarely among the stories of the sea has anything more touching been told than the simple unadorned tale of Aron Fraser, seaman, one of the survivors of the ship Bothesay, which was deserted by her crew on the 30th June, three days after casting off the tug-boat frorri Calcutta. We have previously given some general statements of the loss of this vessel, but there is something inexpressibly mournful m the account given by Aaron Fraser At 12 o'cock on the 29th the pilot expressed an opinion that they were in the Cyclone, and next day the vessel was found to be in a sinking state. The crew were lashod to the masts and elsewhere. But the sea- QSfctellllisown stol7—we s1l(>llld >-*** it by interfering with it in the j $t :■ —

The pilot then asked for volunteers to build a raft: the chief mate (who was the captain's son,) myself and the boat swain, and a seaman named John Roach, volunteered for this work. Within two hours we had the raft ready for launching to wind-ward, when a heavy sea took the raft from off the broken bulwarks, floated it over the side, at the same time break ing the captains leg in two places, wash ing the second officer over-board, and fatally crushing the boatswain's mate. The raft was built on the wreck of the deck-house, so that it might be launched easily to wind-ward. After the raft was launched we lowered the captain tenderly, aD -j s, ec'*re(* him uPon the raft ; but as he said he felt that he had not more than an hour or so to live he requested to be placed again on hoard, as he wished to go down with the ship. The chief officer (his son,) the boatswain, and some others of the crew, also remained onboard. The sea at this time was fast rushing into the ship's hatches, and she was almost down to the water's edge. The pilot then ordered all men who desired to get on the raft when thirteen of the crew did so. The raft was then astern of the ship held by a rope. I jumped off the stem and made for the raft; the pilot followed nde, and he was the last man to leave the ship. The pilot then ordered the hawser to be cut, and within an hour afterwards we saw the vgessel heel over and go down. We drifted all that night and day heavy seas'breaking over us. We were all up to our chins in water, as having so many men upon it the raft floated low. All this night PilotElson, being a very power ful swimmer, swam round the raftm order to see to the lashings which required constant looking to. At two in the morn ing one man, a Greek, Peter Leboli, was washed off the raft by a heavy breaker; the pilot immediately made for him and brought him back ; one or two more men similarly washed off, were also saved by Pilot Elson. The pilot then sug gested that we should remove the three booms, which in part held our raft from the top, and of these booms make a smaller raft to relieve the ! mtn on the large one. The men were all suffering from salt water, the raft being so deep in the water. The pilot, myself, a seaman named John Butler, and another London seaman (name not known) who shipped in Calcutta, took to the small raft, and after getting on her we lost sight of the large raft. I forgot to mention that, iwhilsfc on the large raft, a native boy, servant of the pilot, was completely help less, but was carefully looked after by his master, who kept near him, tended him like a child, and gave him our last supply of drinkable water. The smaller raft on which we were was made of the three booms aforesaid, ahd was in the form of a triangle. During the night I fetched in every piece of wood that floated, past us, to improve the buoyancy of our raft. Towards the morning of the 2nd, when the sun began to increase, in power, the the two men seated at one corner of the triangle became delirious and allowed the lashings to go adrift. Later on, the .three spars of the raft got separated, and in swimming about in a heavy surf to get these together again I and the pilot be came very much exhausted. At about .4 o'clock a heavy sea washed off. one of

the delirious men, and within an hour after the other man shared the same fate. I then observed to Pilot Elson that we were the only two men left, and must try'and and fight it out,, when he replied "Oh! Fraser, I can't hold out any' longer.'" I replied—'' Pilot, you musn't give up that way. 1 will see to the lash ings:—you remain quiet." I further said, "If you think you cannot hold on, I can lash you on." He then made some exclamation about his poor wife, and said "I will hold on." I then turned to make fast the lashings, when a heavy sea broke upon us and knocked him off. il made for "him in sufficient time to lay hold of him by the hair of the head, but my hand slipped from the raft. I found it impos sible to hold him, and was forced to let him go, as I had great difficulty in regain ing the raft. I then got the raft a little to gether, and lashed myself lo it- I scarcely knew at the time what Iwasabout,.being so exhausted, and felt what I was about to ■hare the fate of my companions. I cannot say how long I remained on the raft after this, for I became senseless. But I even tually (next morning). found myself high and dry on the beach, the part of it near the Balasore road, and about sixteen miles from Contai. I managed to. walk bntoa small house oh-the beach about two miles distant, where I learnt that of the eleven men on the big raft eight had come ashore, and three had been washed off. I subsequently reached Contai, where I found these, eight men. The magis trate treated us with great kindness and «;£-;••» few daYS wo were up to Calcutta. •*&£ ' ' _y>.*f\ . -.ii ■ •

TO ELIZABETH.

Elizabeth, Elizabeth, your face I do not know, But your poetic numbers have a winning grace and flow; Bnt still, delightful poetess, I'd have you bear in mind That winter is the season for the " Spirits in the wind." • This is the pleasant spring-time of our rosy hopes and joys, Our walks upon the; daisied sward with happy girls and boys; Out in. the blessed sunshine we should ramble uncon fined/ Without one interrupts from the "Spirits in the wind.- » i -I With summer hats and feathers scarcely ruffled by the breeze, We should sport and dance and ramble underneath the shady trees: Hand in hand with gentle Friendship, or with Love so true and kind. And wait until the winter]for the "Spirits in the — ry wind,"* • ■ -- —,_, . ~. Jass,

CITY COUNCIL.

The usual meeting of the City Council was held yesterday. Present: P. A. Phillips, Esq. (Mayor), who occupied the chair, Councillors Holdship, Hobbs, Jones, Prime and Williams. The minutfes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed; several letters were read and passed by without comment. His Wor ship the Mayor then laid on the table copies of the Auckland Water-works Empowering Bill, and proceeded to deal with the business before the meeting.' A communication from the New Zealand Insurance Company received attention respecting the lighting of the town clock. The Mayor reminded the Council that £o0 had already been spent over the clock, but that sum ffas not sufficient it seemed to keep the light burning. Councillor Hobbs thought they should, take no further trouble in the matter. Councillor Jones considered that " more light" in that neighbourhood was wanting, and the lamp should be kept lighted The Mayor suggested that the Insurance Company, should be written to upon the subject. An application from Mr Burtt, asking for permission to add a tower to St. Matthew's Church, was granted. The monthly accounts, amounting to £405 ls Bd., were passed. The question of the market-house was next considered. The Mayor stated that on the occa sion of the laying of the foundation stoac he thought it would be desirable to invite the members of the Agricultural Society and Colonists' Protection League, His Honor the Superintendent, the Har bour Board, the Provincial Council, and other public bodies to give a little eclat to the occasion. Councillor Jones suggested that they should wait until the building was completed. Councillor Hobbs thought they could hardly lay the foundation stone when the building was finished. Councillor Jones was aware of .that. fa6t Councillor Holdship thought it would be better to defer the dinner till the market Was finished. It was finally suggested that they could dine when the market was finished. This view of the affair seemed satisfactory. Mr Cooke's tender, £13 os, for grazing, the site of the water reserovir by Kyber Pass was accepted. A few other matters of minor interest were allowed to stand over until the next meeting, and the Council adjourned.

THE PRACTICAL LOVER.

I did not purchase for my .bride .... •! Rich jewelled rings and costly fans, But what I thought would be) her pride— A set complete of pots and pass. I would not win sweet Jennie's love By golden gifts of magic power : If she a proper wife would prove -, • She would prefer some bagsof flouf. f I did not play with Jennie's heart, Nor try to fix it were it fickle, But sent, mistrusting modern art, A side bf pork for herr to pickle. I did not give her rubies red. .:_•'' ] To lend her raven hair relief But what would charm her. when .we're wed, A good supply of potted beef; " :•! , . I did not, wanton with her love, That pined to nestle on my breast, Just like a drooping, tired dove,. But sent a couch where it could rest. I did not, when the moon was bright, Take Jennie out for tranquil walks ; But took her —what would more delight— A dozen each of knives and forks. I did not send her flowers bright, , ' Whose brightness, ah !.so quickly wanes, But sent her in the darkest nigbfc, A set of sheets and counterpanes, And so at last our little store "Would furnish well an ivied cot, Bnt then—l Bhould have said before— She jilted me and kept the lot.

We learn by wav of Sydney that the Mayor of Levuka is in hot wateri the following resolutions having been publish ed in :the Fiji Gazette i—" That inasmuch as.the Mayor, while presiding over A meeting of this council held on Wednes day, the 25th ult, did without the author rity and consent of such council .adjourn of his own act, at the same time refusirig to put a resolution which' had beehregti? larly proposed and seconded, suchadjourh ment being in .our opinion a deliberate insult to the "council'as a body, and to the ratepayers whom they represent; that the town clerk be. instructed to convey :a copy of this resolution to him in writing, and'to request a. written apology thereto." That the town clerk be instructed to fur nish a report of this meeting to both papers. Carried. Our telegram frpm London, 'dated Tuesday, 22nd instant, mentions the death of Sir T. J. Cochrane, Admiral of the Meet From the Peerage for 1872 we learn that he was the eldest, son of the late Hon. Sir Alexander Forrester Inglis Cophratie, G.C.B. (sixth, son of the eight Earl Duridonald), by the daughter of David. Shaw./ Esq. Born in Einburgh, ' 1789 ; married Ist,-1812, eldest daughter, of Lieutenant-G-ener&l Sir Charles Boss, Bart. ( she died 1839,) ;■■ 2n<_Uy, '1853, daughter of the late Sir Jonah Denny Wheeler-Cuffe, Bart. ;• appointed Vice- Adiriirar of. the United Kingdom X 863 ; Admiral of the Fleet, 1865 ; served in the expeditions against Belleisle, Ferrol, Cad iz and Egypt, &c.; was Grovenor'. ,6f New foundland from 1825 to 1834 ; Was N. P. Ipswich from 1837 to 1841 • unsuccessfully contested Westminster in 1835";'■_ received the honour of knighthood, having been proxy for his father at the: installation of the Bath in 1812; was Commander-in- Chief on the East India Station from 1842 to .1846. .| 1 Regarding the forthcoming International Regatta,,at Wellington, "Sampan" writes in the Canterbury Press as- follows :-— "The race bids fair, if we judge, from my correspondent's opinion, to be even. Vmdre successful than was ours of last year. When I say more successful; I i'hiean^that more provinces will be represented.;,. ; I believe there is every change of Otago, Cahterb ury, Timaru, Nelson, Auckland, and of course Wellington to any extent, being yepresentejd. Mr. i Lennox, who. it will be-Recollected, was captain and stroke of the Wellington crew jat our intercolonial, informs'me that he considers the course selected by the committee cannot be-, surpassed in , JSTew Zealand-,,.- The ~«aid' course is, situated''at the; Hutt Wd ofl the,, harbor, a distance ' of. aWirt eight'milesfi'pm Wellington., A , The reason ,dt the. committee for selecting this course was that the prevail ing winds in the summer; are |from the n;qrtjb west, and by making the course at the tfpj-tjh west end of the harbOE the race can be pulled under the lea of the land the whole way.

Mr, Lennox further tells me that some of. their men went up in a gig the other day 4-' -when * it was ' blowing stiff, arid found the course as smooth as a mill-pond. . He adds 'You "need bein no fear about the course • being a fit one for your Canterbury boats); besides, the committee have decided that tho race will not be rowed unless the day is calm enough to suit all boats entered.' " We beg to draw attention to the adjourned meeting of gentlemen interested in the Parnell Subscription Pveading and Chess Ptooms, to be held to-night. ,The want of such rooms has long been felt in Parnell, and Mr Hale is to , be complimented on having provided suoh for the accommodation of the gentry of that J district. The rooms are replete with every j comfort and convenience. Numbers of 1 gentlemen- have enrolled their names as members, and there is no doubt that as the advantages become known many more will hasten to participate in the advantages the rooms offer. The meeting for to-night is to confirm the minutes passed at last meeting, and elect a committee of management. Wie observe by advertisement that a bazaar will be held on the premises lately : occupied by Mr.Rattray, in Shortland street, on Friday and Saturday, the 15th and 16th inst., for some special charity, the nature of which is not stated. Notice is given by a number of importers that their establishments will be closed to morrow. _____
