CATE OF GOOD HOPE, Dec. 17.—0 n Nov. 30, between 8 anal
o'clock, p.m., a Hamburgh ship, the Arago, went on shore in
Table Bay. An alarm was given by the firing of guns soon after
the occurrence, and as speedily as possible the acting port
captain and the officers and men of his department launched the
life-boat, and pulled towards Rict 'ley, where it was believe&
the ship was. ,bout a quarter past 10 o'clock they went along,
side a vessel, which proved to be the barque Arago (630 tons),
Bolling, of Hamburgh, from Memel September 6, this port
and Batavia (deals, timber, and iron) ; she was fixed in the sand,
and lurching to port. The S.E. wind was blowing very strong,
and continued so until 4 A.M. The port officers and crew of
the life-boat aided the officers and crew of the vessel to heave
her off. she came off about half her own length, but she again
stuck in the sand, and filled rapidly. There were nine feet

gold, value

of water in her at 3'e..m. next day, and it was evident that she;,
would become a total wreck, and as it was. dangerous to
remain by her any longer, all hands came on shore. The cari
tain's wife (the only passenger on board) was landed early in the
day.. A great portion of the stores, all the boats, and some other
articles, have been saved, and no lives were lost. A court of
inquiry, composed of Conunander Gordon and Mr. Salficet nf
11. M. steamer Hermes, Captain Tinley, Shipping Master, d4pt.:
Munson, and Mr. Poppe, acting Hamburgh Consul, was appointed,
to. investigate and report upon the circumstances attending the
wreck. The captain made a statement to them, in the course of
which he declared that the error on his part in entering Tablellay,
arose from his having, after taking bearings of the lights, mis-
calculated the scale of miles, and thus mistaken his distance from
the land. The court, however, did not attribute the loss of the
ship to this cause. The following was their report to govern-
ment :—" That we are of opinion, from the evidence produced,
that the loss of the barque Arago, was caused by the default of
the master of the said ship in not taking soundings, or having
the lead going, or causing a proper look-out to be kept whilst
standing in for the eastern shore of Table Bay, the ship being
well under command, With a fresh working breeze and a dear
aLuwepke.e. The master, moreover, does not appear to have
taken any bearings of Green Point light after 6 p.m., just before
tacking for the last time, although the lights were clearly visible
when the vessel struck." The hull and cargo of the wreck
were sold by public auction. and realised £2,200.

Munden's Point a squall of wind took her,
and the ship gathered such way that before she could be stopped
she had shot across the bay under Ladder-hill, too close for the
anchor to be dropped with safety. Here the ship was baffled by
flaws of wind and set by the current towards the roks, where
she struck and remained fast for a considerable time. Assistance
Was promptly rendered both from the shore and from ll.M.'s
ship Medusa, and the Hanover was hove off and warped to her
anchorage. Considerable damage has been done, and it was
found necessary to land the coolies at Ruperts, where they have
been placed in charge of the emigration agent. It is feared the
Hanover will have to discharge her cargo in order to effect the
necessary repairs to enable her to proceed on her voyage.

THE STORY OF THE PANTOMIME.
Once upon a time there was a certain Queen, whose name was
Goldenwing, and who had a very large family of daughters. Her
husband having long since been dead, the family was a source of
great anxiety to her, and she kept them at home, as well as she
could, in a beautiful bower of roses and lillies. Her eldest daughter,
the fair Brillianta, was so exceedingly handsome that she attracted
the notice of Prince Eblis, who sought her hand, but was rejected,
not only by the young lady, but by her mother and all the
family. Shortly afterwards the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
whose domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
tired of single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give' a
groad ball, and invited everybody, far and near, in the hope
that from amongst the ladies he might select a wife. The
fair Brillianta, with all her sisters, went to the Prince's ball,
where he at once became enamoured of her, and arrangements
or their marriage were being made by Queen Goldenwing,
when Prince Eblis, hearing of this, became so enraged that,
while f' ig sent

e Queen was at the Palace of Prince Peacock, havi
iren home to the Bower, he resolved to burn that beicutifc
