hood. They repeatedly promised to keep a good look-out for any fires or other signals of distress.

Furthor Traces of tho Mln-y-don,

During tho courso of conversation, one of the men°casually remarked that a discovery had been made which would probably throw further light on the fate of the ship Min-y ---don. It will be remembered that this ship, an iron vessel of some eight hundred or one thousand tons, left Newcastle, bound for Lyttelton, with a cargo of coal, and after being seen in the vicinity of the Solanders, was not heard of again. The only trace of her that could be discovered at the time was a piece of teak-rail 7 feet in length picked up by the Stella in the vicinity of Puysequr Point. ' This plank was identified by Captain McClatcheo, the stevedore who stowed the ship in Lyttelton, and also by other people ot that port, as belonging to tho Min-y-don. Our visitors now informed us that a teak com panion had recently been found on the beach somo distance away, and had been shown to them. They considered there was every reason to believe that the com panion found formed part of the wreckage of the ill-fated vessel, and Captain Fairchild concurred in their opinion. The conclusion is strengthened by the fact that all the Min-y-don's fittings wore of teak, and that very few, if any, colonial vessels that would have been on this part of the coast have teak fittings. Tho men were subjected to a rigid cross-examination, but they were posi tive that no other wreckage had been seen lately, and that there had been no beacon tires in Preservation Inlet.

Although it was lato on Saturday night before all was quiet on board, fivo o'clock on Sunday morning found the anchor up and the vessel under weigh again. The weather had by this time cleared somewhat, but was still thick and rainy. Leaving our snug re treat, we steamed out and round Goat Island up Preservation Inlet. Tho scenery here was remarkably protty, snow-capped moun tains towering to an immense height above us ; but even beautiful scenery fails to in spire poetic and romantic emotions when viewed from the deck of a steamer on a wretched bleak and rainy winter's morning. Tho scenery of the Sounds is undoubtedly seen to most advantage in summer, or if not, excursionists who avail themselves in large numbers of the Union Company'sannual treat must have a cheerless time of it indeed. Our programme was to search Preservation Inlet before taking lied Head, and this was done. We steamed a distance of 18 miles up the sound, keeping close to the right shore going, and coming back well over to the opposite land. Echoes wore awakened by the shrieking of our steam whistle, and the Kocks Beach and ranges were carefully scanned with glasses. Our labours were, however, in vain. There was no sign of shipwrecked sailors, and the only responses to our signals were the reverberating echoes or the cooeys of frightened water fowl, which flew screaming over the placid surface of the water, and took refuge in tho scrub and bush with which the sides of the mountain aro covered.

New Zealand "Will o' the Wisps.

A peculiar phenomenon abovo repeatedly led to false alarms of "There's a fire!" There were upon different headlands what appeared to be a thin liamc of blue smoke, which would suddenly ascend from the centre of a clump of bushes, and while it was being watched all traces of it would suddenly disappear. This happened again and again on different mountains in tho vicinity, and probably would have led to a boat being sent ashore had it not been for the fact that our skipper's experience had taught him that these puffs were New Zealand " Will o' the Wisps'." He attributes them to mists arising from small waterfalls amongst the bush on the moun tains. It occurred to us at the time that it was quite probable that one of these puffs or mists was mistaken by Captain Tozer for the smoke of a fire on the headland. Steam ing back down the inlet, we called in at Cuttle Cove, where whalers are accustomed to anchor during their "trying-out" opera tions ; but while the shore was covered with heaps of whale - bones and other refuse, nothing was observed that could possibly assist us in our search. The weather, which was clearing by degrees, gradually improved to such an extent that we finished Preservation Inlet sooner than we expected. Special attention was devoted to Welcome Beach, a likely place for castaways ; but the result was equally unsatisfactory, and tho whistle having shrieked itself into a colic, we took our departure from the Sound, Chalky Inlet, and Red Head. Passing Red Gulch Head, and picking our way through Broke Adrift Passage, we found ourselves entering Chalky or Dark Cloud Inlet.

Red Head iscomposedoftufa-cappedrocks, a short distance within entrance on the right hand side, and abutting from the mainland. This is where the fires are supposed to have been seen, and that fact imparted extra ordinary interest to it in our eyes. Wo ran close to the shore, and our eyes were anxiously strained in the hope of discover ing some traces of recent occupation, but there were none. Nothing could bo dis covered that would justify the assumption that fire had been burning -there, and there was not the slightest sign of a human being. The whistle was started off again. We hoped against hope that the castaways would have emerged from one of the coves, or that a wel come cooey would have answered from the shore. Instructions had been given to the chief officer to have the ship's gun charged, but when he was told to fire, it transpired that the cannon was so fearfully and won derfully loaded that lie did not reckon it would go off. Ineffectual attempts were made to get the machine to shoot, but it would not, and every resource having failed, a rifle was at last brought into requisition. We steamed a couple of miles or so up, and we returned with the whistle shrieking at frequent intervals. We were again soan abreast of Red Head. By this time the poker had been heated, and a report somewhat resembling the popping of a ginger-beer bottlo apprised us of trie fact that our artillerymen had been suc cessful. Thescarcityofpowderwasattributed as the reason why the discharge was so long delayed, and subsequent charges were in creased to four or five times the bulk and power of the first charge—this effecting a wonderful improvement in the reports. The Head was passed and re-passed, with the whistle blowing, guns firing, eyes straining, and everybody on tbe watch, hut "nary" a sign of burnt timber or shipwrecked sailors rewarded our efforts. Thick, rainy weather came on again about noon, and as it appeared impossible to con tinue tho search, Captain Fairchild took the ship about five miles up the Sound to North Portland, a locked cove of narrow dimensions but with safe anchorage, where wo brought up. In tho mean time dinner was hastily despatched, and tho weather having improved in the interval, we ran out, and down to Red Head, between 1 and 2 o'clock in the after noon. There had previously been too much sea to enablo us to land, but the conditions wero now more favourable, and a boat was sent ashore under the charge of Mr Back- Strom, chief officer, your special accom panying the expedition. The boat made for a point about half-a-mile inside Red Head, and then proceeded outwards, close along the shore, and round the Head itself. The surf, which was breaking ominously, rendered landing on the headland im possible, but the whole of the rock was so closely scanned that the slightest trace of fire would have beon observed. The boat made a circuit within ten yards of the base, land ing insido of the Head. The party traversed the rugged, shingly beach for some distance, but their investigations were rewarded with no greater success than the discovery of an old butter keg, without any mark by which it Gould be identified, nnd a slab sawn from the end of a log. This block had evidently been some months in the water. Some broken bush was also found at one point, close to tho beach, but there was reason to believe that the branches had not recently been broken off, from the fact that the fractures were marked with attacks of sea snails. The boat eventually returned to tho steamer with the butter firkin, the party being convinced that no castaways had been in that neighbourhood. The ship continued her search, steaming about eight miles up the inlet till reaching the entrance to Edwards Sound, the whistle giving frequent proof of its shrieking capabilities. All the island and the rocks in a line with Table Rock and Herd Head were carefully inspected, in case a fire should have been beyond the point reported, as a mistake of that kind might easily have been made. Dusk eventually set in, and soon after 5 o'clock we returned to anchorage at North Port, weaiied and dispirited by want of success to our arduous sundry labours. Solanders and Stewart's Island. W c were astir again before break of day on Monday. At five o'clock the anchor was weighed, and the ship, under full steam, bound for the Solanders. Passing round Chalky Island, the whistle was kept going constantly, but without the desired effect. Red Head was kept in sight for 15 miles, but all in vain, and we found our selves well out at sea with the conscious ness that there had not been any signal fire, or, indeed, fire of any kind at Red Head, and that our expedition had virtually been a failure.

Discontent and disappointment reigned supreme on board. The majority of us were confident that we were ' bound to find some castaway, or at least discover traces of them. Probably the worst dis gusted man on board was Mr Robinson chief steward, who, in tho fulness of his heart, had prepared a variety of nice tilings forthe poor fellows when they came on board. However, we wore satisfied that we had done all that possibly could be done and that if the men had been at P,ed Head or within a radius of many miles of it, we would have hoard of or found them. Steaming in a southerly direction for several hours, we found ourselves at the Solanders, two bare scrub-covered rocks, 34- miles from Chalky Island, the loftier of the two bein" I,looft in height. We steamed around both, and lav to off the landing place on the eastern side "of the larger island for some time, the whistle again being sounded but with no better success than had attended our previous efforts. Our course Mas then directed to wards the south-westerly coast of Stewart's Island, and a run of :>•! miles brought us to Ruggety Island. Keeping close [■•, and sounding the whistle occasionally, wes teamed thirty miles down the coast, and picked our way through between a muggy long ridco. and hidden islands, close enough to mako out the smallest signal. The vessel's head was then turned, and Captain Fairchild feeling confirmed that nothing further could be done, started for tho Bluff by way of the western coast of Stewart's Island Tho distance was accomplished under easy steam, and the Bluff was reached this mora ine.

ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

[From Our Special London Comes-

kindest.]

London, July 27, Tho Boracic Acid Scheme.

Practical shippers and the butchering

fraternity laugh at the idea of tho much talked-of Boracio Acid Injection Schema routing or even rivalling refrigeration. It is, I believe, now pretty generally admitted that tho injection preserves the meat all right, but to pack sheep in any quail tities in a soft state would be impossible. Besides this, there will always be more or less prejudice against preserving meat in such ways. The patentee, of course, affirms that the boracic acid does not even faintly flavour the carcase. This may be so, jjut unless I am "greatly mistaken, there is a carc.se thus preserved hanging up in one cf the corridors of the Health Exhibition, and en hot afternoons (like last Monday) it literally smells. W.-1.R., writing from Tunbridge Wells to the " Globe," says : " It seems a matter of regret that the party of Maoris now in Londonshouldhavebeen encouraged to come here and air grievances which, if not remedied in their own country, are certain, not to be cured in this ; and it is par ticularly undesirable that the secretaries of philanthropic societies, of whom one heara so much at one time and so little at others, should gradually work themselves into thg position of partisans, and probably end by trying to persuade tho public that the greedy colonist has been 'at it again,' and that tho principles of eternal justice are mice moro in danger. Though personally unconnected with New Zealand, 1 can well understand that to be thus arraigned and discussed at a distance and disadvantage must be intensely disagreeable to those who are ; more particularly when conscious how littlci thoy owe to the British Government, and how much the good feeling that exists between the two races is owing to their own forbearance and. conciliation, \Ve all, of course, know that Lord Derby will do nothing, and do it with an air of much wisdom ; but, considering the atrocities which a Liberal Government and its affili atod philanthropic societies have allowed to be carried on unchecked in South Africa during the last four years, the pretence of posing as ' protectors of aborigines' might as well be dropped. My own idea is that colonial legislators of the present day areas keenly alive co the duties of humanity and justice as any Parliaments under the sun; but, be that as it may, experience teaches us that, wherever true and fearless defend ers of outraged humanity and justice are to be found, it is certainly not in the present Government, nor in tho Aborigines' Protec tion Society," The London correspondent of the " Leeds Mercury" writes as" follows:—"New Zen land, which is now sending us quantities of excellent mutton, bids fair to supply our fish market as well. Somo fifteen "years ago Mr Frank Buckland sent out to Otago a quantity of trout in the egg state, and these ha\ c flourished and multiplied in tha antipodean streams until the colonists have nearly as much angling sport as they could expect in the Tweed and its tributaries. I have seen in a Strand fish shop as fin, a trout as could be seen any day in Billings gate, and it came all the way from Otaga in tj, frozen chamber. It had all the out ward characteristics of the Home fish, but I cannot, of course, speak of its edible quali ties. Still, the fact that it was brought here in a fit state for the table opens up a field of speculation as to what Australia and New Zealand may yet do for us in the matter of food supply."

Sworn Testimony From one of the leading Wholesale Houses In Pitt-street. " Mullens-street, Balmain, ' " Sydney, August 9,1883; " To the Publishers Evening Stab. " Dear Sirs,—l feel it incumbent on my pari to inform you of the great benefit I have re oeivod from the use of St. Jacobs Oil. Soma three years ago I injured my left leg and knea to that extent I thought I had become a per manent cripple. My knee-cap was twice it natural size, and my leg was so contracted and shortened that I could not walk without con siderable pain and inconvenience. During that time I had tried remedies innumerable, but without receiving the slightest benefit until 1 gave St. Jacobs Oil a trial, and, much to mj de.hght and astonishment, I began to get better, and before the contents of the bottle were hall used both my leg and knee assumed theic normal condition, and to-day I am entirely frea from pain, and can walk as well as ever I did in my life. I heartily recommend St. Jacobs Oil to any one suffering from pain, and feel satisfied it has no equal for the cure of chronlß and contracted limbs.—l remain, dear Sirs, youri faithfully, C. C.
