A TERRIBLE SOME AT SEA.

..... ....... .
"An Auckland Merchant" writes to the Timm
"It seems monstrous that In these days there should be
no effectual -means (either legal or mechanical) of pre-
venting sailors from plundering cargo. The crime of
theft is a email part of the evil; the main thing is the
risk to the lives of all on board from the men getting
Into tfie hold with matches and naked lights and from
drunkenness. The public know what happens when a
ship catches fire, but less is probably known of what
occurs when a crew gets drunk in the mid-ocean. The
case of the Cmwnthorpe has lately drawn attention to
the latter, and with your permission I will add my own
experience as a passenger from New &Wang! to Liver-
pool a few years since in the Pfnenix 1,000 tons. When
about twelve days from port we fell in with a heave
gale ; the ship made more water than the Temps could
keep free, and it became necessary to throw cargo
overboard. No sooner were tic. hatches taken off for
the purpose than the crew found their way to the store-
room, broke it open, and in a short time we had an
opportunity of seeing men in all the various stages of
drunkenness, from furious madness to maudlin in-
capacity. They were, however, able to use their
tongues, and they accompanied their resolution "to do
ne more work, but to all go to the bottom together,"
with frightful language; so that women and children,
who had previously faced the terrors of the ocean with
calm resignation, were unnerved at the sight and mounds
of the crew. Suffice it to say that the courage and for-
bearance of the officers saved us from a terrible scene,
and having on board a number of colonial passengers
who had been to sea before and were willing and able
to work, the ship was saved.

STRANGE—CONDUCT OF A HERMIT.
On Tuesday morning, a recluse, named Frank
Shields, who has for • long term of year, been the only
auccessive occupant of Biafora Keep and Egliston
Abbey, entered the Bowes Museum, at Barnard
Castle, and, ascending the principal staircase,
attempted to gain &coons to the roof by means of one
of the uppermost windows. Having been forcibly
prevented from undertaking such a hazardous experi-
ment, the hermit WAS conducted to tbe basement,
where, swearing that the town was full of robbers, he
violently seized Mr. W. Kyle, the clerk of the works,
by the whiskers ; and it VIM with the utmost difficulty
that the old man was expelled from the ground. Later
in the day the demented condition of Shields warn
referred to by the Teesdale Guardians, and it was
agreed to adopt measures to ensure the old hermit's
safety. Shields, who wears an immense beard and is
of short stature, has repeatedly tramped to London
and back.

REIRAORDINARYTRANSATLANTIC Sitsmixo.—Our readers
are so familiar with the rapidity and regularity of the
White Star stemma that it seems almost invidious now
to cell their attention to any particular voyage, yet the
Britannica passages would seem to eall for special mention.
Under the command of Capt. Thompson, the has, for four
voyages in succession, steamed from Queenstown to New
York and rice wrat under eight days, maintaining
• remarkable uniformity of speed. On the four outward
trim. the Britannic ran a distance of 11,216 nautical miles,
being an overrule of 2,414 per trip, which give, a speed of
a little over 15 knots per hour' or MO knot, per diem.
Homewards, she steamed 11,519 nautical miles, or 2,807
per trip, equal to 15.32 knots per hour, or $67.6S per diem.
These consecutive performances are worthy of record, as
they stand unrivalled in the lanais of ocean steam navi-
gation.
