ROUGH TIMES AND FRIGHTENED SAILORS.
Last Monday afternoon before the Mayor, also J.
Robertson, Esq., and J. Lundie, Esq., Fever' seamen,
named John Sweeney, Frederic Smith, John Miller,
Henry McAlly, Francis Ca ly, John lianbory, and
Charles It-nocis, were brought up, charged with wilful
and continued disobedience on board the British
barque Edith, Captain Francis Homer, of Nova
Swabs.
It appears the vessel was in light ballast (petroleum
barrels), and on her voyage from Antwerp to New
York, and these men were shipped at Antwerp, receiv-
ing a month's advance, and being now in debt to the
ship. They Ind • rough portage down, and ran for
Portland Road., and on the 25th, when told to heave
anchor, they refused to work, declaring they would
not go to sea with the second mate. On thre, occasions
they were ordered to heave up the starboard anchor,
and refused too so. In order to save the owners time
and expense, the captain offered to discharge this mate,
but the men still refused to go. On Satur fay, at four,
they again refused, and at 4.30 the record is the I g-
book was read over to them, and they admitted its
correctness, and still would not work. The order to
heave anchor was repeated on Monday (that) morning,
and they heath refused. in consequence of which the
captain charged them with wilful and continued do.
obedience to his lawful commands.
In answer to the Mayor, the Captain sail be had
been to sea 19 year., and been captain of this reuse'
since 1875. Ile had been trading in the North Atlantic,
acid the vessel wu well found in every way.
John Hayes. the second mate of the buque. con-
firmed the master's statement, and said he himself had
been at sea 20 years, and had jut thippel in the vessel
at Antwerp, whence the sailed on the 14th.
The prisoner.' reply was then heard. Sweeney spoke
first, and stated that after leaving Flushing they were
50 hours on deck "without a wink of sleep or any-
thing," beating down Channel in bad weather. last
Saturday week they MOO cheering one another up to
do the work as best they could, when the second mate
came to him and said—" The captain says you are •
good man, but you talk too much, and you've got to
stop it." On Sunday they had the main trysail spread
out on the deck to mend it, when he said to the sec IA
mate—" Mr. Hayes, it is Sunday." "Never you
mind," was the reply, "You go and get your palm and
needles," and when be went for them the second 1314,15
struck him at the door with an iron belayin4 pin. The
captain also told Mr. Hayes to take a belaying pin,
and knock their heads off.
Frederic Smith said the work OM too hard on
board' they couldn't get • watch below.
By the nob:Be He had been seven years at sea, on
board a fishing smack, and had been out in bad
weather.
John Miller, a Scottish-looking man, said he was
dunned to go to sea in the barque, for fear he should
get killed—murdered—by the second mate, who had
struck hint when he went to the forecastle. He had
had no sleep for 5o hours, and was thoroughly fagged
oat—he couldn't get any rest.
Mr. Landis: Sailors have to work more than usual
in bad weather, haven't they 7—Prisoner admitted
this.
McAlly said he was struck by the second mate the
very day he came on board, the 15th. The second
mate kicked him, and he was quite tick and dazed, and
hardly knew whether he was on board. When be was
aloft in rough weather the second mate called to him;
he made signs that be could not understand what he
said, and when he came down the second mate called
him on to the poop and knocked him down. He was
so tired with long hours and work that when he was
, aloft he sometimes fell as if he did not care if he
I dtrpped off the yards.
Francis Cady told a similar tale; the more they
worked the more they were driven to it, and when he
was coming from aloft the second mate bad jerked him
off a rail, and rather hurt him by the fall. He was
also threatened very much on board, and fagged out;
he was almost afraid of going in the vessel, for he
feared being injured by the officers, according to the
captain's orders.
John Banbury said they had had hard gales of wind,
and "pretty" hard work attached, and they had been
chased round by the officers and abused by the sec ,nd
mate. He had been 17 years at sea. Had had very
heavy weather since they left Antwerp. The comple-
ment of crew was nine before the mast, he thought.
Charles Renods, able seaman, said the work was
carried on very hard ; they had • wet forecastle to go
to, and had to lie down in their wet clothes, to be ready
to turn out directly. One of the men had told him he
was to put a head on that long fellow in the mate's
watch (meaning Reriods). and orders had been given
to give him a kick in the jaw. He was afraid to go to
Me lest they should commit mutiny on board; they
were driven about so to the work. He had himself
been to sea since he was nine years of age.
On the captain's side were called—
Oliver Reynolds, who had been to Sea with the
captain before, and who had been in the vessel about
seven swaths, and went from Rotterdam to New York,
had his discharge, and re-shipped, and also went on
the voyage from Antwerp. The game captain and
mate were on board, and he was not frightened to go
on board—not exactly frightened.
Prisoners: The mate is hie brother, sir.
Gilbert Snow, A 8., had been iron New York to
Antwerp in the vessel, was discharged and re-shipped.
He went again with the same officers.
Healer, the cook, who seemed to be a German, said
that was his second voysze in the ship; he went to
Antwerp and re-joined. Re was not afraid of murder

T. MARY'S TEMPERANCE ENTERTAIN-
MENT.

A high-class musical a ire. was &seat St. Mary's
Schoolroom on Tuesday evening, In connection with
the St. Mary's branch of the Church of Englawl Tem-
parsec' Society. The popularity of readings and
music was proved by the enormous attendance, for the
whole of the Girls' Schoolroom waa filled, and had the
Infant school wing been thrown open, it would have
received a very respectable audience. This was a
great contrast to the scanty attendance who listened
to Mr. Tweedie's excellent lecture on a "Cup of Tea
but there was a counter attraction on that night. On
this occasion the admittance was free, except to a few
rows ol reserved wets, which were crowded. The Rev.
J. H. Scott, rector, presided, and briefly announced
the various pieces. These were as follow :-
1 Duet, " The March of the Priests," played by Mies
F. Eliot and Miss A. Andrews, with Mr. Boyton
Smith.
Glee, " Trab, trab," composed by Mr. Boyton Smith,
and sung by Mr.. Moorhead, Mies L. Andrews, Mies
F. Eliot, Miss J. Andrews, Mr. Syne, Rev. C. E.
Gilbert, and Mr. G. Andrew.; in spite of a little
uncertainty at starting, the singers almost immediately
harmonised and from that point the glee went in a
light and graceful manner that should have gratified
the talented composer as it did the audience.
Song, "The Better Land" (C 'wen), was rendered
by Mies Dephine Carpendale, with a silvery voice and
refined manner, which won gratified applause.
Glee, "Sweet and Low-" (Barnby , by the glee
party, with even more BOOMS than on their firstemay.
Song, "The Children's Home" (Cowen); Mrs. Col.
O'Donnell rendered this with artistic power and
intensity of pathos that, combined with her golden
voice won an irresistible encore, when the, with
delicious naivete, gave "Katie's Letter," so charmingly
that it came with fresh pleasure to even the= who
had heard it many times.
Rending, "Billy'. Roes," by Mr. Sidney Milledge
It requlied no small amount of courage to give a read-
ing in the micl.t of the singing, but Mr. S. Milledge,
by his pathetic rendering, was itmensful in deeply
enlisting the rimpatliiee of the andime..
Duet—" Ring out, Wild Bells" (Blockley), by Miss
F. Eliot and Miss Randell, who gained much
applause. By this time the audience were Tilts
ready for that favourite humorous singer, Major
Gollop, who, aeoompasying hhnself, gave " He Always
Came Home to Tea," and of course drew on himself

(The lecturer, who was assisted by numerous
diagram., was listened to with the luta:meet interest,
and at the close he was warmly applauded.)

an 0000 M
Pert-song--" Oft in the Stilly Night." was sung by
Mr. E. Smith, Mr. S. Smith, and Mr. Syma, and
concluded the first part.
The second part c immencod with a Symphony of
Haydn's, for piano, violin. and violono4o, in which
joined Mile A. Andrews, Mks Boyton Smith, Werra.
L. and 0. Dickinson and Mr. Sidney Smith; the party
of musician; were in good accord, time and tune
being excellent, and their united petformance was
much applauded.

Song—" Our Tight Little Wand" iiiihdin). was
sung by Major Gollop with all his usual self command
and spirit, and another boisterous encore was the
result.
Violin—" Tarantella" (llianela). In this Mr. W.
Stone gave a rare treat, and displaced his power over
the violin surprisingly ; the swiftest passages, the
oddest effects, t 6 most musical tones, were by him
produced with apparent wee, and the accomplished
violinist was rapturously applauded. The przramme

The Rev. Canon Srgrnmesoe said they met Ist
Monday evening, with the view of assailing Satan's
work at home, and he hoped the words he uttered
then were not uttered wit mut effect, and that our
good Temperance friends were not simply believers in
• gospel of Temperance, tut bad done what they
could for this meetieg to-night. Ile Lope I they were
banded together with the feeling that the one hope
for this or say land, the one hope if the world, in the
gospel of our leir I Jesu. Christ. We must feel this in
the one great wont; however civilised they are, they
are indeed greatly in need of our sympathy and help,
unless they have the oue saving name. for there is
salvation in none other. He was not there to speak
of the future state of the heathen, but id their present
state. This unsaion work is the work that our blesed
Lord and Saviour came down on the crow to carry
out; it we. not for England, it was not for Christen-
dom ;itw as for the world He died. How sadly we
have lost the earnest spirit of the apostle Paul, to go
to all laud*, because he felt they were to that extent
dependent on him, to hear to them the mission of the
go-pel of repentance. This is not a work we may
take up or lay down as we like ; it is the necessity for
the world. Those who come here to-night want to be
a help and to get help. It is a grand and beautiful
thing to meet together for Christian work, and we are
met together for that. We must get missionary
Information, and, though we are often toll to read
missionary hooks yet that teaching is very hard to
Impress, and it is good to hear mietionary addresses.
Ur. Wilson came from that very interesting mission
at Uganda, and he was also full el information about
the Egyptian Soudan. lie did not know whether be
would travel down there; but everything about Egypt
is full of information, for the power of England taere
is almont supreme, so that it seems an excellent
opportunity to take possession of Egypt for Christ.
As to their local auxiliary, 1132 10i. Id. had been

Captain Cm:tomtit had travelled a long 40,000 miles

and he believed the success of missionaries in very

The Sonth de found ea much prosperity among the
Christians that they thought it was due to the material I
of the Bible, and =hie it up iuto small pills, and took
them. (laughter.) Of course the prosperity was I
caused by the missionaries teaching them proper
cultivation, and encoutazing them in habits of sobriety
and industry. bet them give not only goodly words,
but worldly goods, and do all they can to promote the

Rev.tr C. T. W newel said the Victoria Nyanza Lake,

lour distances to march, and when they came to the
pool, it was driest up. On the other hand sometimes
there was too much water, and the bed of the river
was the scene of a raging torrent, Instead of being a
dry sandy gully. After six months' travel from the
eorst, they arrived at the great lake Victotia Nyanza,
by which time their party wan reduced floe eight to

As there were only three man left, they decided only
to settle and work at one place. No answer had been
received from the kings to whom they had written, so
that they went over to an island in the lake about as
large as the Isle of Wight, where the people appeared
most peaceful, carrying walking sticks instead of
spears or bows and arrows, as was general on the
mainland. They found their boat wolf not last

We might wonder how he could meek to them to be

adopted the language of the country, Swatili, and
spread it so that when the missionaries came, they
