1.-TWO sailors, James Paine and Robert
Proudfoot. both natives ofEdnburgh, were
discovered on the 4th November last, on
the desert Island of Amsterdam, by the
Palmira, an English vessel. The captain
was induced to run in as close as possible
bv observing a smoke on the shore, which
he supposed might be used as a signal by
some shipwrecked mariners IN need Of as
sistancc. When within mile ofthe shore
two men were observed standing on the
beach; the boat was Immediately got out,
and they were brought on board. Their
appearance was truly squallid and misera-
bic their boards were long; and their dress
was a nondescript compound ofthe origin
al materials, seal skins and hogs hide.
According TO their own account, they had
been fourteen months on this Island, where
they were left by the Governor Hunter, a
schooner of 60 tons, belonging to Van Die
mans Land, it being customary with these
vessels to land portions Of their crews at
the different Islands where seals and sea
lions are procurabIe, and take them up a
gain with their spoiIs few months after
wards. IN consequence OF accident VI u
yersieht, the poor fellows were obliged to
soiourn on the Island. and subsist as well
as they could, TIL their fortunate rescue by
the Palmira. They state that in Noyem-
Der. 1926, a vessel called the Hope, bound
to VandIeman's Land, had approached the
island within a few miles, and sent ont
a boat to fish. The unhappy men com
muuicated their situation to the officer
commanding the boat, who said he would
inform his captain, and act according to
his instructions. It would scarcely be
believed that the latter Immediately pro
ceeded on his voyage, leaving the men to
their fate, but such Is the lact-Jomnai Of
Commerce.
