been placed on the ground, and the leg bones placed
over it, the pelvic bones and ribs coming last of all,
on the top. This child had been thoroughly dis-
membered before burial ; but still more strangely,
immediately south-cast of the child's bones were
three trunkless skulls of adults, placed in a triangle,
all with their frontal parts to the west. The one
nearest the child's body was erect, and had lost the
calvanum by the plough, and to this head were the
cervical vertebra, one clavicle, and some ribs. The
other two skulls were both inverted, and the plough
had taken away the lower jaws ; but the face bones
and calvaria are good. Where were the bones of
these three bodies ? Were they burnt on the funeral
pyre? The answer is wanting. Below the three
skulls was an oval cist in the rock of 3ift. by 2ift.
and lift. deep. This cist was full of burnt matter—
some charcoal and parts of burnt bones. Were these
from the first-named burning ? Six feet west-north-
west of the centre another body was found on its left
side, contracted, head to the east. The right hand
was on the knees, the left up to the face. The right
hand held the handle of a very fine bronze dagger
or spear, the point of which touched the chin. The
weapon was in beautiful preservation, and the two
rivets which had fastened the handle to the blade
still remained, even the mark of the outline of the
handle being visible. The end of the handle had
been of bone, and along the line of decayed matter
between it and the spear head were found three more
bronze rivets, which had apparently fastened together
two pieces of wood forming the centre part of the
weapon. The weapon is a most perfect specimen,
the blade being 44in. long and very thin and sharp.
Some few flint chippings and two fragments of urn
were found among the materials of this hone. The
skulls were all re-erect, and show the type.
The last barrow opened was on the North Wold
range, two miles north of Helperthorpe. This
formed one of three, of which one was opened some
time ago, and yielded an unburn4 body, the skull of
which Mr. W. Lovel, of Helperthorpe, has pre-
sented to Mr. Greenwell. The barrow was 24 yards
diameter and 4ft. high, composed principally of
earth, with a little admixture of chalk. From among
the material two pieces of pottery (urn), some flint
chippings, and one rudely-formed barbed arrow-
head of flint were taken.

In the centre of the mound a grave was found,
sunk into the rock, 6ft. by 4ft. 9in. and 3ft. deep,
oval iii shape, and filled in with earth, with here
and there lumps of chalk. This cist contained the
body of a young man of about 20 years, laid on the
left side, body contracted, head to north, left hand
to the back of the head, with the fingers doubled in
and right hand up to the chin. This was the only
burial in this large tumulus, and there was nothing
with it. The skull in the frontal part was gone, but
the rest, though crushed, will put together and show
the type. The face, being uppermost, was in contact
with the moist earth, and was most decayed.

This, for the present year, concludes the highly im-
portant and extremely interesting researches among
the British tumuli in Yorkshire, and the results ar-
rived at will be incorporated in the forthcoming
" Decade of Skulls from Ancient Northumbria," an-
nounced for publication by the Rev. W. Greenwell,
at whose cost the whole of the investigations have
been made.

The Stranding of her Majesty's Ship

N.wble.

" H.M.S. Nimble, New Providence, Oct. 9.

" Sir, —I regret to have to report that in a ter-
rific hurricane on the Ist and 2d of October her
Majesty's ship Nimble was blown on shore in the
harbour of Nassau, abreast the Naval Yard, on a
sandy bottom, 6ift. (high water), neap tides.
" The ship has not received the slightest damage,
and is not making any water. I have cleared every-
thing out of her,- except the pivot-gun and engines,
including 70 tons of coal. Everything has been
placed under cover in the Naval Yard.
" On account of all the lighters and vessels (with-
out exception) having been blown up on the beach
and most of them destroyed, I could only succeed
in getting a large iron lighter, which was useless in
the heavy swell, and I had to land everything in our
own cutter. A fresh N.E. gale has been blowing
ever since the hurricane, which has brought a heavy
swell in, and made the clearing out a matter of
great difficulty and danger. The cutter, our only
large boat, swamped alongside full of coals, and
was with great difficulty recovered.
"I wish to recommend to your notice the two
officers named in the margin (Lieut. J. G. Jones
and Mr. J. Hamilton, gunner), whose indefatigable
exertions during the hurricane and in clearing the
ship have been most praiseworthy. I beg also to
report that the conduct of the ship's company gene-
rally has been extremely good. The men have had
to work up to their middle in water in a surf, land-
ing coals and stores, for four days, and, I am happy
to add, without any sickness or accident.
" I have now built a pier out close to the ship.
If we get a high tide I think the ship will float suf-
ficiently to haul her off at the springs on Wednes-
day, the 10th inst. I have two anchors (one from
the bow and stern) laid out, and a very heavy pur-
chase on the chains ; indeed I parted the bower
chain with it on the Bth without moving the ship.
"With the exception of the three trysails, which
were blown out of the gaskets, though the gaffs
were lowered, no damage has been done aloft. The
rigging is a good deal chafed, and running gear
carried away, but that can easily be replaced.
"The boats are all saved, though much blown
about during the storm.
"1 forward this by the mail to the Havannah.
I have not yet succeeded in moving the ship, the
N.E. winds preventing the tide rising to its usual
•
height,

" I have procured a hydraulic press of WO tons,
and am securing it, to try and lift the bows. The
Tahoma was unable to give me any assistance from
her steam power being very small.
" I think a powerful steamer could easily tow us
off now we are light.
" In case of the ship receiving any damage, there
is a patent slip will take us (the charge is 50c. per
ton). I shall await your permission to use it. I
have incurred no expense, except the hire of a
lighter and purchase blocks.—l have, &C.,

" A. J. CHATFIELD,
Commander and Senior Officer.
" Commodore Sir L. M'Clintock, Jamaica."

falling to 27.70. There was no indication of the

account of the narrowness of tlle harbour (with-

On Monday morning, October 1, it was blowing
a fresh gale, N.N.E., at low water, the ship's
stern tailed on the sand, but she swung to the
flood tide as the tide rose, and rode the hurricane
out until one 'p.m., when a gust of extreme fury
caught the ship, she being then broadside to the
wind, and drove her up on the beach. She fell over
in shore. The force of the wind was so great that
