LOST DoßsEr MAN.

To ike Editor.

815,—1n Jane 1868, I was at tho town of Apia, in
Samoan IsLinda, and South Pacific, and while there I
saw • family of half castes whose father was (I was so
informed) a ship carpenter, named Yandell, a native of
Dersetshire. This man settled on shore amongst tho
natives many years ago, and died • few years back,
leaving his children under the care cf the Engl:sh
consul, Mr. Williams. Possibly there may be some
persons living who may take an interest in knowing
what became of a lost relation, and I make it public
for that purpose. My impression is that the inane
name was Randall, which is a more familiar one than
Yiuidell, and that the corruption Wl' caused by the
Samoans having no letter it in their language.
