LOSS OF A LONDON STEAMER.

GALLANT RESCUE OF THE CREW.

On Saturday there arrived at Hull three smacks
belonging to that port, which had amongst them the
captain and crew of the steamship Jarrow. The
steamer, which was owned by the General Screw
Colliery Company, left Middlesborough on Wednes-
day last, under command of Captain William
Walker, with a cargo of iron rails and fishplates,
bound for Riga. At six o'clock on Wednesday
evening the pilot was sent on shore, and the Jarrow
proceeded on her course, with a fresh breeze from
the N.W. At 10 o'clock that night the wind in-
creased, and raised such a sea that the vessel
laboured heavily, and .it was found necessary by
midnight to alter her course, so that she might be
kept head to sea. Thursday morning dawned with
the gale increasing, and still heavier sea, which
constantly broke over the vessel. At 6 a.m. the
foretopsail was carried away, and the crew hauled
up a square foresail. After this the ship was hove
to under close reefed mainsails, and heavy seas con-
tinual to break over her. After 10 o'clock she was
making water very fast, the pumps being unable to
keep her clear. At 2 o'clock water rose above the
engine-room iloor, and the crew were employed
with buckets to bail it out. At 3 o'clock it became
level with the furnaces, and shortly afterwards the
fires were put out. The vessel was then compara-
tively unmanageable, but still, with constant atten-
tion, she was kept head to the sea. At 10 o'clock on
Thursday night the square fore top-sail was blown
away, and all control over her was lost. The cap-
tain ordered the anchor to be let go, the vessel then
being on the Dogger Bank, and in 21 fathoms. At
3 o'clock on Friday morning the crew were in a
most pitiable condition, and were each moment
drenched with the heavy sea which constantly
washed over the vessel. About this time a vessel's
light was seen to the northward, and the steamer's
crew therefore made light signals. In about an hour
afterwards a smack's boat hove in sight, proving to
belong to the Henrietta, of Hull, Captain Ham.
Four of the Jarrow's crew got into this boat, and
were taken safely on board the smack. Soon two
other boats went to the steamer, those belonging to
the British Queen and the Prima Donna, by which
the other portion of the crew left, the captain being
the last man to leave the sinking ship. Captain
Walker speaks in the highest terms of the bravery
displayed by the Hull fishermen, who on a dark and
stormy night launched their small boats on a sea
:which ran mountains high, risking their lives to
save those of their fellow-creatures in distress. The
vessel went down about three hours after she had
been abar.doned, seventy miles from the land, Spurn
Point being W. by S. The men on arrriving at
Hull were forwarded to their homes by the Ship-
wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society.

EXTRAORDINARY WALKING MATCH FOR £loo.
On Monday afternoon one of the fastest ten-mile
walking matches on record took place at the West London
Pedestrian ground, Old Brompton, in the presence of
several noblemen and about 1,000 other spectators. The
match was between G. Davidson, of Heaton, and J. Stock-
well, of Camberwell, who had boon long matched to walk
the above-named distance for the above sum. Both are
well known for their astonishing powers in " tall walking."
Davidson is 23 years old, and stands oft. 94in., and Stock--
well is a year older, but 24in. less in height. The ground
is a quarter of a mile round, thud they had to traverse it
40 times to complete the ton miles. They started at 20
minutes to five o'clock, Davidson taking the load, walking
the first mile in 7 min. 4 sec. At the end of the second
mile Davidson had increased his lead ten yards, 11 min.
25 sec. having elapsed. Three miles were completed in 23
min. 5 sec., Davidson now with a lead of about 50 yards.
Before the end of the fourth mile Stockwell by a desperate
spurt came up to his man and passed him. Ho continued
in front for two laps, the time at the end of this mile being
31 min. 25 sec. Davidson then closed upon his opponent,
and finished half the distance (5 miles) in 39 lain. 24 sec.,
and was ton yards ahead. Stockwell made several strenu-
ous endeavours to decrease the distance between them, but
without success. Six miles occupied 47 min. 32 sec.; the
seventh, 56 min. 10 sec. ; the eighth, 1 h. 13 sec. ; and the
whole distance in Ih. 21 min. 23 sec. Stockwell was 16
sec. in the rear. It was acknowledged to be one of the
fairest heel and too matches ever witnessed.

Samuel Underwood, 66 years of age, a labouring
man living at Liverpool, got drunk on Sunday morning,
and whilst eating his dinner was choked and died iu•
stautly.
