The other evening, the Norwegian barque Atlas, from Rangoon to the Channel with teak, whilst beating up Table Bay, missed stays and took the ground on Blaauwberg Beach. She became a total wreck.
Captain Robinson, of the Dunvegan Castle, presided the other evening at the annual meeting of the Seamen’s Mission at Port Elizabeth. The well-known skipper warmly congratulated the inhabitants of the town on the interest they manifested in the mission.
Richard Smith, steward’s storekeeper, in the service of Messrs. Donald Currie and Co., who was indicted for having incited Robert Marson and Edward Carne, his fellow servants, to rob his employers, was brought up again at Clerkenwell on Thursday last. The jury, however, stopped the case at the close of the evidence for the prosecution, and acquitted the accused.
The British barque Fernbank, from Portland, Oregon, arrived the other day at Port Elizabeth. She reported that on August 19 when off Cape Horn, latitude 57 S., 68 W., she experienced a heavy south-west gale with tremendous cross seas. The vessel was thrown on her beam ends for some time, and lost almost every sail. Two of the crew had their fingers frost-bitten with the extreme cold.
The new steamer Dunvegan Castle was thrown open to the public one Friday evening, says the Cape Times, during which time the ship’s band played selections of music for the benefit of visitors, who numbered many hundreds. A silver soup tureen, improvised as a collection box, was placed beside the band, and bore the following inscription:--“Voluntary contributions in aid of the funds of the Sailors’ Rest in the Alfred Docks.” This was the means of gathering the “magnificent” total of 14s. and two Lucifer matches (both spent).
The list of persons to whom Her Majesty’s Government propose to present medals in recognition of the humanity which they displayed on the occasion of the wreck of the Drummond Castle on June 16 last has been returned by the French Government within the last few days. Arrangements are now being made by the Board of Trade and the Foreign Office with a view to the presentation of the medals to 247 persons, the majority of whom are inhabitants of the small islands off Cape Ushant, the scene of the disaster, and iti si probable that the duty will be undertaken by the French Ambassador. The medals will be given as “a token of gratitude from Queen Victoria.”
The Vryburg Divisional Council have decided to levy no rate for the coming year, and in view of the distress in the district, to call upon the Government to commence the construction of roads, for which money was voted last session.
The proprietor of one of the leading hotels in Johannesburg, some shopkeepers, and others there, have been badly bitten by a youth of 16, who gave himself out to be a baronet and owner of extensive estates in the north of England. He lived in grand style, treated his friends to bumpers of Pommery and cigars of the best brand, and almost daily appeared in new and resplendent toggery obtained on credit. His hotel bill alone ran to an incredible figure. Then he suddenly disappeared, and turned up at another hotel, where he paid, or rather was charged 2 Pounds per week more for board and lodging. At length the father of the youth came on the scene and told the infuriated hotel-keeper that the juvenile adventurer was none other than the son of a Johannesburg millionaire’s butler, who belonged to Houndsditch. The funny part of the business is that so many people should be gulled by a raw youth who talked like a grocer’s errand boy.
Typhoid fever was prevalent at Port Elizabeth when the mail left there.
By the kindness of the Right Hon. C. J. and Miss Ethel Rhodes the children of All Saints’ Home, Cape Town, numbering 150, went out to Groot Schuur recently, and spent a most enjoyable day. Nothing was forgotten that could add to the happiness of the little folks. Miss Rhodes saw personally to the comfort of the meals, and was very determined that there should be no lack of anything. On leaving each child was presented with nuts and oranges, in addition to a china mug, out of which they had taken their tea.
