children, of Edgartown, Mass.-Mr. Pease for
mer!y of Edgartown, but lately merchant of
New York; his lady and son,-Mr Lindsey, of
Boston,-& Mr.. Timothy d. Kingsley, ofMaine

day, the second day out, the weather was ra-
Their unpleasant and there was much complain
ing of sickness among the passengers and sea-
men. Mr. Pease was taken very sck all the
medical aid which could possibly be had under
the circumstances was rendered; but the unfor-

The following morning, Capt Osborne, feeling
unwell himself ran the vessel in towards the

(LoEg lsland.) He then took his own family,
and the bereaved family of his friend Mr..
Pease, deceased into his small boat and &C
companied by Mr.. Kingsley, and the two well
seamen went to shore. Mr.. Wells, Mr. Lind
Sey, the steward ana caDln boy, were at this
time so very sick that they were insensibIe of
their situations, and it was thought best to
leave them as comfortable as possible, until the
boat should return from the shore with assist
ance to take them from the vessel And when
the boat returned, the four persons who bad
been left on board in the last stage Of painful
disease, had dice, and they were buried in the
ocean.

GUTZLAFF'o LATE TRAVELS ON
THE COAST OF CHINA, 1883.

From the last voyage made BY this
missionary in 1888 and published in the
present year 1891 at London, we CLEAN
many interesting particulars for the graf
ification of those who may wish to an
ticipate the publication of the work in
this country.
China contains 361 millions of souls
on 100000 square miles; which is less
TO square mile than in Ireland. In
the maritime Provinces. there are 400
to the square mile. The metropolitan
provinces on the coast, not 100 miles
from Pekin and about latitude 40, is
sterile and frequently inundated. The
inhabitants are miserably wretched-
live in small mud huts, and die every
winter in great numbers from starvation,
rarely being able to procure even rice.
VT they are happy.
In the northern province of Teen tsir
the people are hardy and brave, and
dress in costly furs: their physiognomy
has less of that obliquity of the outward
angle of the eyes, said to be character
stic of the mongolian, variety Of the hu
man race, and so striking in the southern
provinces. The women are also It'd,
and fair, and at perfect liberty. We
should imagine, Gom Mr.. Gu'zlaff's rep
reservations Of the extreme cold OF tht
northern provinces, corresponding in lat
itude to New York and higher, that ou
climates are not dissimilar, and that il
all probability the climate of China
