Strange Occurrence at Sea

The following correspondence recently ap peared in 'The Shipping World ' :— I may, perhaps, mention that tho s.s. Glenberi'ie had only made one voyage since having had oxtensivo repairs effected to tho engines, and boilers by tho Mount Stuart Dock Company, and to the hull by tho Bute Dry Dock Company; and it is, I think, credit--., to those firms and the owners that it was apparently owing to the excel lent condition which the vessel's machin ery and hull were in that they were onablod to live through such fearful weather as they experienced on October 15 last. I have not Mr Stenhouse's letter at hand, but, as near as I can remember, he writes as follows.— M. W. AISBITT.

. [Abstraetofa letter from Mr A. Stenhouse, chief engineer of tho s.s. Glcnberrie, on her arrival at the West Indies, after having en countered the gale of October 15 last, to his brother, Mr J. Stenhouse, consulting engineer for the owners.] Dear Sir, We arrived here all safo after having encountered some of the most fearful weather I have ever experienced. After wo had left Cardiff and got to the westward of Lundy, we shipped somo tremendous seas, washing everything moveable off the deck, and several times flooding the stoke-hole and engine-room. At length the force of the seas striking the vessel's bow becamo so great that several times, to my dismay and astonishment, the engines were forced astern. In the midst of it one huge sea swept our decks fore and aft, carrying away all our boats with the exception of one, which was landed half:way down through our engine room skylight, smashing the skylight en tirely to pieces, which allowed huge volumes c. water to pour down, Hooding the engine- O-m and washing everytb'-.g and every-' boctv below about. Aftor the water had clcaiyl off our decks, to the astonishment of our cf. w , three strange men were found to be_p,u l^ard. It appears that a pilot, arid his two -Hjids got hi to'their small punt, but being tina.i e to do anything ,,'m. such awful weather, tjVy'had''wl'shly laid .down in .heir boat, and .-, c \ shortly afterwards been washed on L arc i 0 f om . vessel, the Loat. being m-ied away. I think ib was men. for us that thjs happened, as, w^ fcho ass i sfcanco 0 f t j, e pilot, our captain ns ena bi et i to pufc i Dack . ami take sheltor K hind Lundy Is lai.d, where we landed thou j musfc inform that wo have threo exce , ut d(mk enffineg and consider that our ltimatc safe . largely due to the thor< * which they and. tho 9 bhe lb, ar _ . ag WO bad frequently scveialH f our e>?gme-room.

V.M.C.A.-SALE OF WORK.

Prize Competitions

A " Sale of WonK " in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association was formally opened in the lecture hall at 2 o'clock this afternoon by tho President (Rev. J. S. Hill). The utmost use is made of the space avail able. Each sido of tho hall is occupied by two stalls, a refreshment stall stands invitingly in a recess opposite the entrance, a Qower stall extends across the front of tho stage, and a Jubilee tree laden with gifts occupies a conspicuous position in the intermediate floor space. Mrs Major ancl Mrs W. S. ' Wilson have charge of tho refreshment stall, Miss Leech man superintends the flower show, which consists of pretty pot plants, chiefly coleu,., begonia and maiden hair ferns," and Mr A. Knight looks after tho Jubilee treo and its fortunes. Of the four principal stalls the first ono on tho left hand sido is the " Young Women's Stall," and is presided over by Miss Ken derdinc and Miss Battley, Upon ie arc dis played a largo variety of the triumphs of feminine skill in fancy noedlcwork, such as cushions, mncramo work, dressed dolls, otc, and besides these it contains a miniature perambu lator presented by Mrs Smith, and plaid shawls, rugs and -flannel, presented by the Mosgiel Tweed Company, phoVogrnph frames, hand-painted cauls and easels, etc. Tho other three stalls arc presided over by Mesdames J. L. Wilson, Thomas Buddie, Abbott, J. S. Hill, E. Wood, Tilly, Kenderdino, Battley, Reals and Miss Mus ters, and tho articles offered comprised a miscellaneous assortment of fancy and use ful goods at moderate prices. It only re mains to add in connection with this depart ment of the show that the "salo" will extend over three days and evenings, that everyone attending it will be presented with a Jubilee memento on leaving the hall, and that there will be a promensde concert each evening, as woll as other attractions.

Chief among these must bo the prize com petitions for sowing, cooking, poetical and artistic productions. The cooking contest is particularly good. Young men as yet un decided whether or not to venture into tho matrimonial lottery only require to inspect these exhibits of cookery in order bo bo convinced that the art of bo.u_».wi'eiy is studied by the rising damsels oi

land, and that marriago may very profitable speculation. We Api.. -. a list of tho awards so far as they have been declared :—

Skwixo and Darning Competition. — Prizo £1 : Mrs C. M. Nelson and Mrs Judd, judges; 13 competitors. Winner, Mrs Mason. Tho judges report the exhibits to bo vory good, but that Mrs Mason's is far and away the best. It is a really beautiful specimen of needlework. Several others that wore especially good did not fulfil the conditions, bcingspccimcns of darning alone. Bkst Poem. —Prizo, £1. Revs. G. B. Munro and C. 11. Garland, judges. Six competitors. Miss E. Hudsjn, Thames first; E. S. Husband, second. 'Theso two aro stated to stand out pro minently from tho others, and the judges havo therefore recommended E. S. Husband for a second prize. Bkst Ei-iguam Acrostic. — Prize LI ; Roys. G. B. Munor and C. W. Garland, judges, 22 competitors — J. L. Kelly, Ist ; S.

We subjoin tho prizo poem and the prizo acrostic: —

Prize Poem

"Aml my brother's keeper ?" Thus asks Dives. "Lo! lam just; for son'ice duly dono I pay in current coin. Love, sympathy Or help? Good sir, they aro rioti' the bond. In the fierce war of life 'tis each for each - • Tho strongest take the prize, the weak go down." .......... '

Not so the Christian reasons ; his tho joy To follow in tho Master's steps,

Whose life Was one long act of mercy. Well ho knows The whole great world froiji Dives to Loca-

ls bound in golden chains of brotherhood, As Christ hath lov-Vl us, so must wo lovo, Our brethren love and help.

So Halls like this ariso on every hand ; con

tres of good ; Hives full ot busy workers : but thoy work Not for themselves ; for Christ ancl for their

kind. -Friendlossness, poverty, bar other doors,— They arc keys to open this. Country nor creed Inquired of her.: Need, the ..uffieientplca. The lonely yonth, afar from Lome ties,

Finds here new friends, who lure from

danger's brink And help him tread the Christian path.

Then he Perhaps in his turn holds out tho helping hand To one in need. ' And. so tho work goss on.

Blessed aro they tbf.t sow with liberal hand Beside all waters ; thoy shall get return With joy, bearing their yheavc-s ; and " Inasmuch As ye have dono it unto one of theso My brethren, yo have done it unto Me." Shall be the. blessed guerdon of their '" .voi'k.

Prize Acrostic on "V.M.C.A."

Ye power./who watch tho fortunes of tho

young, Make Miiooth the path till men's estate be

theirs. Calm C'hvisilan joys engage each heart and

tongue, And bright Association banish cares.
