Dudley as Captain, Stephens as matr, Brooks as seaman, and a Southampton boy, 17 years of age, named Parker. Such a craft would, of course, be very small to make so long'a voyage, and was certainty not over manned, for it ieft with four hands all told. Yachts much smaller than the Mitnonette, however, have before now successfully made a pood passage to Australia, and the accounts lately published of the cruise of the Falcon, a cutter inferior to her in size. and handled by amateurs, proves how safely these little vessels may be navi gat d. The crew of the Mignonette certainly felt but little apprehension, and down to Madeira her outward vojage was prosperous enough. Favourable breezes wafted the Mignonette to that island, where she filled up with water, fuel, ;\nd provi sions, and proceeded on her voyage. The Line was safely crosr-ed on June 17, but from this date trouble commenced.

The Yacht Founders.

Dirty weather began on the ISth, when they took down the topmast, the wind blowing hard from S.S.E. By the 20th the weather had become Very heavy. A strong beam sea was running, with the wind blow ing hard. They were obli^rd then to take in a double reef in the mainsail and foresail, and to shift jibs. The wind changed round to the N.VV. from the 25th until Monday, the ,10th, when it' went sud denly back again, and blew a gn'e, which departed as suddenly as it came, for on 2nd July they were becalmed. By the 3rd they were once again beforo a storm. In the afternoon they had to reef the mainsail and square^ail, and the captain made up his mind toheavc-to nnd wait for better weather, About 4 o'clock he called the watch, and had the squaro.--ail in. Stephens (tlie mate) was then steering. Captain Dudley heard Stephens cry, " Look out !" and on looking under tho bnom ho saw a _rr-.it sea coming _v liivii. ffe chin- to the boom until the sea had swept part. On turning round he saw all the 100 bulwaiks aft wore Stephens cried out, " My God ! her side is knocked in I" And Fuch was really the case, for on looking over he saw her butt ends open.

The Crew Take to the Boat,

Captain Dudley realised in an instant that the yacht mu-.t founder speedily, and it w-', therefore, their first object to (jet the boat out. The punt or dingy, which is 13 feet long and made of mahogany, was with great difficulty got out. Dudley told Par ker to pass up a breaker of fresh water, which the hoy did, witching it over in the hope of picking it up again. The captain tore the binnacle compass from the deck and got it into the boat. Stephens, Brooks, and Parker having taken their places in the boat, Captain Dudley diopped them astern. Recollecting there was no food in the boat, the captain rushed to the cabin, which was full of water. Seizin t the chronometer and sextant, he threw them on deck. Those in the boat were then shouting to him that the yacht was tinking. He grasped some tins of whut he supposed wa3 preserved meat, and rushing on deck tumbled over into thp boat, all but two of the tins slipping from his grasp. They ju_t managed to row the little punt a length astern when the yacht went down, only about live minutes havln_ elapsed from the time she was-truckuntll.-he finally disappeared. They searched for the breaker of water, but it was not to be found, though its stand was iioating about; with this and the binnacle and bottom boards they constructed a sea anchor. Their fragile boat was taking in water faster than they could bale it out. They found the leak, filled it up, and managed to bale her out with 'one baler and the halves of the chronometer box. The two tins proved to contain only preserved turnip, lib. in each. They had not a drop of water ; night was coming on fast, and the sea was raging round th„m. T_ add to clip terror of the sit'iatlin, a shark came along; »ide nbotit midnight and knocked against the boa!, but fortunately did no damage, and went away soon. In this miserable plight they existed for four days on one of the tins of turnips.

Drinking Turtle's Blood.

On tho fourth day they exceeded in catching a turtle, which was floating on the water. Then they finished the second tin of turnips and killed the turtle. TV.eir thirst was fearful, and they drank some of the turtle's blood, sa.ing the remainder in the case af the chronometer, but it was spoilt by the salt water. Once or twice it rained a iittis, and they tried to catch some of the rain-water in their oilskins. With their oilskin coats spread o\cr their arms, the poor creatures waited with burning throat, and stomachs, praying the Almighty for water in their extremity. But. alas ! these en: dea'_ura were defeated by the sen-water netting mixed will, the trash. On the eighth day they drank their own water, which they continued to do until rescued, Fifteen terrible dftya passed a*ay without an incident to relieve the monoton /. On that day they set to work to make a sail out of their shuts, with an oar for a mast. On the eighteenth day, having had no food of any kind for seven d*vs und no water for five days, and their condition having become awful, they began to discuss the advisability of casting lots as to who should I c killed for food for the others. This plan was suggested by the Captain, but Brooks would not agree to it, saying it would be better tor them to die together. On the morning of the 10th day. no fail apprising, and their starvation driving them frantic, the captain and mate suggested killing the boy I'arjser. Their reason for selecting him as the victim wa. because he was suffering the most, having diunk sale wntet, thp others obtaining moisture by safer but more horrible means mentioned above Thoy also reasoned that ho was only a lad with no responsibilities, while they wero married men with wives and families do pending on them. Brooks declined to be 4 party in the matter. Then was enacted one of the roost fearful arid beaitrending tragedies ever committed.

They Kill tho Boy.

Each of the men made signs to the other to do the sickenirg deed, but none at first had the heart to do it. The wretched lad was lyin^ in a state of utter exhaustion in the bottom of the boat, with his face on his arm. The captain and mate ultimately de cided jointly to kill him—it b .ing arranged that Dudley should strike tho blow, while Stephens shou'd hod the lad in ca.e he moved, Captain Dudley, having offered up a prayer for forgiveneis for the act, wont to the boy and said, " Now, Dick, your time is come !" Parker faintly cried, " What f me, s:r !" Dudley replied, " Ve^, my boy,"and thereupon ran asma1! penknife into Parker's jugular vein. The lad offer.d no resistance, dying almost instantly. Their maddest craving was for something to drink, and they therefore caught the gush ing blood in tins, and divided it be tween them—Brooks, who, during tho stabbing of the hoy, had gone to the bow of the boat, and covered his face with his hands that he m ght not witness the deed, taking his share with tho others. The three of them then took off the re.r boy s olothes, and cut out his liver and heart, which they devoured while they were yet warm. On tho nineteenth day they suaeeeded }n catch ing a few drops of rain-water, which* they eagerly drank. For the next four dreadful days they lived on Parker's body.

Saved at Last.

An tho twenty-fourth day the joyous sight of a sail greeted Brooks'? eyes while they were eating their honible food. They all fervently prayed that the passing ship might ;e; there, and thoy tried with what feeble strength remained to row towards it. Their joy was unbounded when they dh> covered that they were seen, and in about an hour and o-half after they first sighted the sail they were by the side of the German barque Montezuma. They were In such utter prostration that when they got along side tho ship they required to be assisted on board. Captain Simmonsen, of the Montezuma, states that on the morning of the day they discovered the boat, on lookr ing across the horizon ho thought he saw a small speck ;ho looked at it through the glasses.and saw that it was something'float, ing on the water, although at tho distance he could not distinguish it us a boat. As they nearod it, however, ihey wero aston ished to find it was a small punt with human beings in it. They presented a most frightful spectacle, looking like living skeletons. On getting them on board, they explained to him tho history of the mangle i corpse, which was even then lying in the boat, Captain Dudley remained firm in his resolve to retain the corpse of the boy as long as possible, in case they should fall In with a vessel, and to make a clean breast of the circumstances. When Capt. Dudley had explained matters to Capt. Simmonsen, the putrid and mangled remains were con signed to the deep, and tho punt taken on board tlio Montezuma, Captain Simmonsen treated the forlorn ones with every kindness, giving them food and clean clothes. They wero on board the Montezuma 38"days. As thoy v.erp wrecked in 27° S. and 10° W., and picked up by tho Montezuma in 2_° 28" S. lat., 27° 22* W. long., they must have sailed and drifted their little craft 1,050 miles. Captain Dudley attributes the foundering of tho Mignonette to her being rather old for such a voyage. She proved a good sea boat, and had she been new, he considered she would have weathered the storm. On being landed at Falmouth, the a irvivors were taken to tho Sailors' Home, »Uj} afterwar4| to tfcg Gwßtonjs, where they

made their depositions. The following afternoon they were apprehended on a war rant and taken to the borongh prison. Their apprehension took them by surprise as they had made arrangements to leave Falmouth for their homes that night. They will be brought beforo the Falmouth magis trates on a charge of " wilfully, feloniously, and of malice aforethought," killing Richard Parker on the high sea 5. The small pen knife with which the act was committed is in the possession of the Falmouth police.

The Kate's Statement

Edward Stephens, the mate of the Mig nonette, has given in his own wo:ds the following narrative of the terrible ex perience of himself and his companions : — The vessel was put under reduced sail until Saturday, July 5, when at 4 p.m. (the wind being about S.S.W., blowing a fresh gale, with high sen, and tho yacht being under storm trysail, reefed squaresail. and Xo. 3 jib), a heavy sea struck her, and she speedily foundered, about 1,000 miles from t'.ieCape of Good Hops We git a dingy out; the master ran below.andbrouaht up a few t'.ns of provisions. He had justtime to jump into the boat and let go, first throwing the compass into the boat, which was then half full of water, and in five minutes from the sea striking her, down by the stern went the Mignonette. Wo only now had time to realise our position. Here were four of us in an open boat fourteen feet Ions:, miles out of the track of shipping, and every thing we had eatable or drinkable was two pound tins of preserved turnips, the other tins of preserves which the master brought from below having been lost in the confusion. Our boat, too, leaked badly, having stove a plank in launching, and as a fresh gale from the south was blowing we kept her all night before it with the oars and a soa anchor, made out of the bottom boards, binnacle, and a water-breaker which we picked up. We also recovered the sextant and chronometer floating after the vessel foundered. At times our boat was half full of water, and we had either to bale or steer. Of course we could do nothing but drift before the wind and sea, the danger of swamping being so great. On the third or fourth day I got a rough altitude of the sun at noon, and, guessing the declination, got an approximate latitude- viz.,24°50" S. We then, until the time of being picked up, made a course from N.W. to S.W., going nearly before wind and sea the whole time, keeping almost on the lino of the Tropic of Capricorn. On the third day, as we suffered very much from thirst, we opened one of our tins of turnips. There were five pieces, or halves, in the tin ; we divided one piece between two. Thus the first tin lasted two days. That one mouthful seemed so cool to our psrohed throats. On the fifth day we caught a sma'l turtle, but our boat shipped so much water that we lost most of the blood, which we greatly needed for our thirst; but we were so over joyed that we ate our other tin of turnips that day ; and now the thirst began to get worse. The weather was squally through out, but somehow the rain ___o_ipanying the squalls -eeiiied to pass on both sides of us. When a squall would approach us, we would button the oilskin coats, which we fortunately had on, the behind part before, and, spreading our anas out with the coat resting on them, we- waited, with burning throats and stomachs, praying to the Al mighty for water until the squall had passed. If wo caught a little how thankful we were ! If not, we would hope and pray for the next shower. I think it was on the eighth day we commenced drinking our water, and continued drinking it at times until picked up. On the twelfth day our turtle was finished ; in fact, for the last two days we had been chewing the skin for moisture. \Yo were now in our worst straits. We used to sit and look at each other griyiucdly wasting away- hunger a;,d thirst in each fa-O. if we did get any sleep our dreams would be of eating and drink

ing. Wc were so weak and cramped that we could hardly move. On Sunday, the fifteenth day, we made a sail, as we thought we might venture to run the boat (although when we did before it was dangerous, her square stern shipping so much water). The sail was mjjde out of t)ie shuts belonging to tne toaster, _r-oks, and myself—two on top and one below. A piece of plank split did for a yard, and an oar for a mast, secur ing the same by a strand from the boat's painter. With this, and the stern seats lashed up, we found the boat Would run as lung as there s*as not t u o much sea. This seemed to cheer us a bit, our object being to get to the westward, in the track cf ships, as fast as possible. The lad Parker was now getting very weak and ill. li.) had, iinkntn.fl to us, at night been drinking salt water. He told us this when ho vas ill. Our nights wero the worst time ; they seemed never to end ; we

dreaded them very inueh. We had now the longest interval without food or water, viz., eight days without food and fire days without water, with the ex ception mentioned. The lad dying before our eyes, the longing for his blood came upon us, and on Friday morning, the twentieth day of our being cast away, the master hastened his death by bleeding him. 1n a minute all was over. I will leave you to imagine how we subsisted on the body until Tuesday, July 20, the twenty-fourth day of our being in the boat, when we were picked up by the German barque Monte zuma, of Hamburg, Captain Tremonsen, bound to Falmouth, from whom we re ceived every kindness. We suffered a great deal tor some days afterwards. The ex tremities seemed to have entirely lost life. We had thus been in the boat from July 5, at 5 p.m., until July 29, at ten a.m., nearly twenty-four days, having drifted and sailed a dlstunoo of about 900 miles, viz., from lat. 27.10 8., long. D.gO W., to lat. 24.20 S., loDg. 25.25 W., pur position when picked UP-" ' .

Opening the Museum on Sundays.

(To the Editor.)

SfK,—On sth October appeared in your paper a letter ro the above, signed " Mnsee," in which Ideas are represented known to be held, or thought favourably of. by many in Auckland. But thero are people in Auckland who think differently. ''M 110 3" has given the reasons upon which ho and others try to support their ideas; but there aro very good reasons for thinking differently. •' ilusee " says it would be a benefit to open iho Museum on Sun days. This may readily be adpiittod; but surely a bem-rit may be purchased at too high a price. "Musee" says that quack doctors would thrust their preparations down people's throats, but tho general ex: erience ia that quack doctors don't care where their preparations go so long as they get the money for them. '' JVluspo" says he has seen people who were ignorant that they could obtain instruction from visiting a museum; but there aro people so Ignorant of religion that thoy suppose by stand ing up and proclaiming to an assembly of pcoplo that they are saved religion is taught. "Musco" supposes that there are men who work all day every day in the week till lato at night, and in this he is quite right, but the work ot bringing about an improvement in sueli a sad state of things will not be forwarded by opening museums ou Sun day, The probability is that if museums and other similar amueements (i.e., secular amuse ments) are opened on Sundays, it will not bo long before "Musee" will be able to suppos. correctly that there are men who work all day Sunday, till late at night, as woll as every other day in the week ; in fact, thero are a few such sl.vcs already, and it is still more difficult to aen how their lot is to be improved by opening museums on Sunders. '• Musee'' says he wants to go to the Museum himself on Sunday, and tako tho misses and children. Let us now sup pose that everybody in Auckland wanted the same amusement on Sundais. One thing is quite certain, that the 5 could not have it, for the Museum could not. hold them. This would pro duce that shortlived th(pg, an "unsatisfied demand." We all oucrht to know that a demand will find a supply, and if a demand is made for .ocular amusement on Sundays, no do.ibt it will be supplied in spite of (he tfforts of the e'ergyman, of whom ''Musee" says, "I regret to tee aro getting up petitions." The seeking after secular amusement on Sunday is a bad thing, and it is impossible to see to what it may jead. Jfo one Willi a perception worth having will suppose that all who seek Sunday secular amus-inont will be satisfied with going to the Museum every Sunday, even if it would satisfy "Musee." Tho real evil consists in a .laving for Sunday secular amusements; and this craving will no doubt grow unless cheeked by people learnlDg to acquire a taste for more spiritually healthy employment for Sunday. Some little time ago 1 had occa sion to reply to "Citizen" in re larrikins and ail} i_ts. to dhow tho fruit of ignorance in religious mattera. If " Mnsee " can find time saiiio Sunday aftcrno.n to wa'k round Mount Eden, he wi) find out how many of the young men of Auckland supply secular amusement to thnmselvesfiii Sunday in tossing for pcnnlesand kindred diversions. To suppose that these young men will be improved by opening the Museum on Sunday is bosh.—Yours truly, A New Churchman-,

The Winner.

The result of this event is doubtless one of the greatest surprises that have taken place on the Australian turf, for tho names of the first and second horses have never been even mentioned in oonnoction with the race. Blink Bor.ny, the winner, was pur chased by her present own'r, Mr B, G. Talbot, in May last for £500. She was bred by Mr W.

Last week I suffered acutely from severe contraction of the nerves oi the neck and shoulder. A friend laughingly suggested SL Jacobs Oil, and I invested in _ bottle, rubbing it well in at night before retiring. The feeling ot warmth and counter-irritation J experienced almost immediately was very strong ; and I am pleased to state that I awoke next morning with hardly any trace of pain. A second and less prolonged application cured ma oompletely. A bad chilblain on my ear was re moved with one rubbing.
