SINKING OF TB.E AUSTRAL.

An Expert's Opinion on Mo'lern Ship building.

It ia noticeable that experts writing about the Binking of tho Austral are unanimous tho ship was top heavy, and that when the ballast was out of her she merely assumed her natural position. An interesting article in the "Army and Navy Gazette" says:—"Naval architecture has sidJy degcncratoil. Wo once had ships. We now have floating cofiins. The pith toy, loaded at ono end, which turns turtle when stood lead uppermost, illustrates exactly what our modern ships are built to do. It is now tho exception to find a sbip able to shift without ballad. It used to be the rulo. But tho?o good old days are gone. Wo havo entered upon others. Iho theory of tho beauty of u»linsss finds favour at tho Admiralty. The mercantile marine swarms with ships which will not shift without ballast. We last week condemned iho Polyphemus; that is to say, the Polyphcmua having condemned herself, aa wo naid sho would when IV? >■ Barnaby first disclosed tho lines on w*"oh ho had designed her; we condemn <d the Ad miralty for persisting in co'structing this vessel on Hues known to be v orhless, Wo aluo condemned thu modern >t,)l.< of naval architecture introduced by Mr K. J. Reed and Mr Barnabj. VTo nta'"l it to bu wrong, defond en comblc. Lictlo did wo expect those words would w scon bo proved, by evo»t's, to ba but too true. But proved truo they havo been. before oor readers had perused th» remarks wo made regarding th« causs of the failure of the Polyphsmus, the Austral had turned turtle in Sydn*y harbour." The writer then goes on to de- cribo the nature of the catastrophe, the sheltered chatactor of S;fdnsy harbour, and tho utter impossibility that anything In tho shape of bad weather could have led ta the accident. He says:—"Now, all who know Sydney harbour are well awar« of tho fact that ao "southerly bustur" or "north-easter" overblew, or ever will blow, with sufficient force to raise a tea therein in any way mooacing to the safety of a ship of tho size of the AuMral, ovun though all her ports were open. We doubt very much whether a ship able to shift in ballast would be endangered, even were die Btrucls broadilde on by a "wutherlf butter," at a time whoa all her ports ware open ; and when It is renumbered th»t (he Orient llnora moor between Qardan Island and Lady Macquoiy's Chair, It will bo seen that the 1 uttrnl mast luve baan thoroughly well iheltered. How, then, did she cap*iz» at her moorings and sink in 40 fset *f water? Modern "experts" proaouncc-4 hor to ba " practically unsi:nJcab!o," and *h« baa "practically sunk!" "Das ist ishw practisch 1" »» our mattsr-of-fact Teuton cousins would say. And so it is, for here we have another top-heary ship turning bottom up, aud assuming that position in tha water which, by the r«ry nature of nor form and tha dis tribution of her weights, nature ordains that sho should maintain. The mod»r» "expert," however, cares little for tbe law of nature. Ho endeavour!! to imposo bis own orude, empiric rules upon the s.'emsnts. Ho forms societies. He bands with man full of " mutual admiration." These gat up meetings. They read papers. They scratch each other's backs—we presume, for want of posts. That la to say, having no r«al Untcrstutzung, and fearing lest some d«y they may be brought to need " UntoTsMUzuDg über die Straaeo," mlo«s they mansßo to succeed in imposing upon tho credulity ot the publio by keeping their names before the country, throagh having thoir praises sung at each meetings, ana thus thrust each other into puhllo offices of emolument and profit. Indeed, wcro it not for those mutual admiration, aulorstutemde Actumen • gesellsckaften, nothing wonld ever havo beon heard of many men who now hold high positions, fs this kingdom, Many a valuable life would then have boon spared to tha Statt, and many a million of money to the taxpayer. Disasters suck as the foundering of the Captain, tho Eurydico, and the Atalanta would nevor have occurred. Tho Austral's tanks were cnpablo of holding 800 ton* of water, nnd that this amount of ballast was sufficient was apparently dßmonstr»t*d on this steamer's passage round from the Clj'do to tho Thames laat April, when sho carried absolutely nothing but water bal last. She had ouly ju»t arrived in Sydney Harbour, when she turned turtle tbo moment hor oargo was oat. Tho water ballast appears to havo \kctl discharged, and the ship was being coaled, when tho catastrophe ■ took place. Tho coal was probably" not only un trimmed, but several hundred tons may havo been lying on thedeclr, ready ta shoot down, as requirKl by.ttao trir^mera. W« cannot understand how these escaped with their lives when the ship, nswrting the power of tho law of nature which the naval architect had disregarded, assumed her natural position in the water — turned turtle and sank. Unless great enro is tak*u ta hare the propor woight of bal|ait,:<on board, tho samo fato awaits evtry «n«'of our modern-baiU ship*, both irenclad and merchant atoamera. And yot it Is to these that England and her psople look for food, and depend for wealth, jafoty.'Vtnd ho*our. To abips such as this Austral wo rectn'ly confided tho lives of some thirty thousand British eoldlera ! Tho designer »f tlie I* floxlb/e was mado a 0.8. Is no honour or reward to be conferred upon the desigusr of tho Austral ?"

Inquest on Leonard Gash.

The inquest on the child Leonard Gasb, who had his head crashed on tbe Domain Cricket Graund last Wednesday by a stone roller, was held at the Hoapital yesterday. Evidence given by his brother Ernest was to tho effect that they dragged the roller up tho hill, ami when it started to go back, decoascd, who was blind, caught his foot in tha roller and fell backwards; and before witness and bis brother nelson conld itop the roller, it passed right over his body. Deceased lay motionless on the ground with his head crushed,—Dr. Goldsbro' said that death must have been Instantaneous. He was of epinion that rollers Bach as that which caused tho aocldont should bo chained wben out of use, so as to prevent such accidents to children In future. Tho chaining would prevent the rollers being moved about, Tho Jury returned a verdict of "Acciden tal Death," and appended a rider to .ho effect that tbe authorities of the cricket ground bo requeued to t*ko steps to chain or otherwise lecuro the ground rollors wben out of use, so as to prevent a recurrence of similar accidents.

FROZEN MEAT.

A private letter received in Dunedin fwin Dr Johnston, a passenger by the Marsald, says:—"Tho whole cargo has been dis obarged into the mighty deep. The machinery broke down, and tho space allotted to the machinery was co con structed that it was impossible for men to remain lone enough in the engine room to make the necessary repairs, the tempera turo ranging from 120 to 150 degrees." He goes on to state, however,' that in his opinion tho vessel, an iron-decked ono, was unsuitable, and the man la charge of tke refrigerating machinery inexperienced. Tho decks used to gat so hot that bags had to be put down for the coolies to walk on them,

TURFIANA.

(BY CUKVAL.I

IN continuation of my remarks last week | anent the totalizator, I my state that from \ a conversation with Mr Adams I learn that tho machines cost him £6CO, so that of course a goodly portion of his proEt isjakea up for interest on the money invested. Kven then his profits must be great; much larger indeed than the club are justified in allow io" any man to make out of public sport. For more than one reason it Is desirable that the totalizator should be worked by the club. Mr Adams, in bis management of the totalizator, has, on the whole, given satisfaction, but there can be no doubt that ■were the machines under the direct super vision of the clab, the sporting public would ba beter pleased, Piscatorious, who has been purchased by Mr Bkumfield and another Poverty Bjy gentleman, was sent South to-day. It is evidently not his new owner's intention to ruu him at the Takapuna Kaces. .

It is, therefore, evidant that the Southerners »re not very sweet on hit dunce, or that thay hava a gaod idea that it is not his owner'i intentiom to start him. I have hf ard it whiskered that his party io not intend racing m "gain this seaton; and, i»de«d, if Ur Pilbrow i»t»niM having a cut iv far the next Molb*urna Cup wilh Traducer'a gams little son, ht would bs not acting altogether wisely, were ho to run tho risk o! mowing more weight.

Writine; about the Champion Race and the beneficial effect of long rac«B jfenerally. an Australian paper says:—lt is one of these events which are beneficial to the interests of horse breeding, and an event which offers encouragement to bretder* of good stock. Even should an animal prove disappointing over a three-mile journey he is »vie to find pltnty of profitable w«rk at the cross country busimss, if anything like a stayer. Unfortunately for the benefit of racing there are too many short distance wees offered, which only encourage tke breeding of weedy, light boned ailmals, and I look upon weight-for-age races as tbe only rae»n« of keeping them down; b«ld«s benefiting the tnrf generally.

CRICKET.

Ivo Bligh's Xeatn at Melbourne.

The Melbunraa papers contain lengthy ac counts of the cricket match between the Australian team and the Hon. Ivo Bligh'i English Eleven. Prior to the commence- Hient the merits of the opposing teamß were fairly canvaesod, In the public mind tha Australians were the favourites for the event, it being contended that the English Eleren vvero deficient in the bowling de partment, while the Australians were specially well provided for in that regard, la batting it was held that the visitors might, have & slight advantage, bat in fielding and in wicket-keeping our, men would far surpass their opponents, Cn the other hamd the splendid, fast, and true turf at Melbourne, it was thought, wonld aeutralise the extra quality of onr bowling, aud take the sting completely out of It, Such were the (peculations indulged in btfora the match took place. Murdoch, who was lncky in winning the toss, decided to send his men in first on the excellent pair of wickets provided for the occasion. The Englishmen thought a day and a hall's leather-hunting was in store for them, and they deplored their luck at losing the toss. The Australians opened their innings inaus piciously, Massie, who began with cantlon, after having been nearly run out, being splendidly caught by C. T. Studd from his own bowling. Though the visitors were delighted atMassio's early discomfiture their supremo wish was to get rid of Bannerman and Murdoch, the most stubborn batsmen of the Australians. These two, ho^rever,got togothor, and could not be:separated before lunch, when the score had reached 89, aDd the English bowling had been well changed, A surprise came from the most unexpected quarter, Leslie, one of the most erratic bowlers in the Eleven, dismissing Murdoch, whom he clean bowled, getting Horan and Murdoch off two consecutive balls; and when A. Bauneiman was sent away at 15 runs after, the chanpes of the Australians were not of a roseate hue. M'Donnell and Giffim put a b:ighter aspect oa the state of ailau-s, and raised the scare to over 160 before M'Donnell departed. He was bowled by Bates. During the say of Giffen and McDonnell at the wicket?, Read at ruid-oTi missed an easy catch from the latter. When Bonnor went in there was come tall bitting, and the score was quickly tent up to 200. Bonnor hit magnificently, and sent tha ball several times clear over the boundary for five sach time, but "he gave a couple of chances which Bhnuld have been taken, one "of them to W. W, Bead being of the simplest kind. If the catches given by the batsmen bad been taken by the Englishmen, it is highly probable that the Australians would not nave reached 200. Bonnor, despite the two chances he i aye, played most brilliantly, his batting being a treat to witness. The fielding of G. B. Studd and the wicket-keeping o[ Tylecote though he missed stunfoine

THE CHARGE AGAINSI MR MASSET, EX-TOWN CLERK.

[BY TEMEGBAPH. -PKBSS * i'OCUTIOS. i

DUNBDIK, Thursday, THB City Court was crowded to-day bj j number of people' anxious to heat1 tia' n»tur« cf the evidence ia the chargt} against Joseph Morgan Massey and Louisa Massoy. Mr Stout, la opening the case, «howcj; how the Corporation by tlio iasup of debsni■' turn purchased the wsterworks, fioai tlsf company which htd constructed them, lin coupons on certain of the dobentuns were payable at the Dunedin, Corpora** tion Otiico, »nd to render them mow easily tianif enable it was decided to ■ issue new debentures, the coupoaa of | which would be payable at tie Bank olm New Ztalaad. Certain holders ofdebei. turo» never took up the new issue which was prepared-for them in 1876; but LM gona o» presenting the old coupons, and being paid interest thereon, Msasey ■uipendad from thi Town Ulcrkslrip on the 12th of October, 1681, and on that eveniuj he remained ia his office till ttlate hour, aid next morning a box of papers* was tafaia from the office to his private resifleMsSiy his order*. The prosecution were inn | and intended'to prove, though at ]«i' it they could not do so, that in the mv& of March, 1880, Mrs Massey went ta Melbourne, end that while she wa there she told fivo debentures ia the,', new form that had been prepared by the Town Clerk, arid signed by Meesra Ramsay (Mayor) and Fish (Councillor), all r«ady to be exchanged with Mr Dinpc, via was the holder of debentures 716' ;>.::d 720, Theßß fivo debentures were told to tlb Bank of New Zealand in' Melbourne fey tho accusad Mis Maisey, and the procecjjj of the sale were broutriitto JDunedin, iM shortly after her arrival here the accused, Mr Matssey, put to his .account in the Banij of . flew Zealand betweea £300 and£4oo, j He would now state what happened is reference to the other debentures, viz, ths; remainder of Mr u rape's, the remaiidei of Mr Quick's, audthoEeot Mr Siundersaidf' Mr Fringle, all of which were prepared fo^" exchange. Mr and Mrs Mißsey went :taf; Melbourne about; October last, and wliiSj'. they were there those other debentures, irl'i the exception of four, viz., 1104,1105, liOfr aid 1108, were sold, 1 h»y were sold to Mj" J.

There were alw sold, 11 days later, on October 27, to Messrs Griffiths sod Milners, brokers, of Melbourne, worth of debentures, «nd, with those' pi* uiouily alluded to,- these were all tha lain known of at present.

Mr Ware, thinking this umtnliiii peculiar, totk the number ot the notts. They were of the value of '£50, >nd tN: question would be, what became of tha, money! It would be shown that the so> ensed, Mr Massey, went to tio- Bank of 9ew Zealand in Melbourne and requested that certain £50 notesfihonWv; be ex«hanged for gold, that ho obtalifd; £500 in gold, and that he also appliedforS draft on^ew Zealand, subsequently cbjsgi inn the direction to Chihtchuich, Heap plied for a draft of £1,000 on theßanlioJ Now Zetland et Christohnrch, end tta application, signed by himself, would lie put in in evidence. This application for the draft was made on November 4tW Now, as to Mr Griffiths1 sale, It wonld i appear that Mrs Maisey gave aboika name, that of "Lonlta Allen," Wiut became of that money they could not exactly say until further advises_ was obtained from Melbourne. But this wss; known, that Massey forwarded to sons w' his relations in Englaad, by draff, thronga the Bank of "Victoria, between £600 m £600, and that he also obtained a draljt oa U the Bank of New South Wales in Biu*™i for £200 or £260. In cato It might bo w4 that tho-Bale of tho debentures by m Massey was unknown to Mr Ma!sey,iW| prosecution will produce his pocket-book in which there was an entry in his own haw;; wtiting of the bonds sale to Mt Wsrs, headed thus :—Total, £1,500; 'gave Lomniy 10-10 82, for J,.8.
