THE LAST OF GAIT. COOKS MEN

One man, who accompanied Capt. Cook in
his voyages, still survives at Kingston upon
Thames. His name is John w. b. Wade
In May next he will be one hundred years
old; and what will be highly interesting to our
readers, he is an American, and n native of
the city of New York. We find the following
account of him in recent number of the
London Shipping Gazette: ''N

been favored, and to which we cannot direct
the attention of our readers Asitleut feelings
of disgust mingled with those Of sorrow
disgust at the ingrattude of the nation to one
who has SO we'll served il, and sorrow as much
for the country, of which such disgraceful
deed can be recorded, rs for the unfortunate
individual who is the victim of il. John Be-
annate Walsh Wade was born in New York,
May l, 175l, at the time it was still an Eng
lish colony. In 1873 he was impressed into
the British Navy, and served in it until 1927,
period of fifty-iour years, when he was paid
off as masters mate. During that long and
eventful interval he had been in forty two
engagements by sea and land, aud had been
wounded twenty-nine times-seyerely in his
head at the battle of the Nile-At his outset
in scafaring life he was put on board the Res

At last the miner speaks again, aud tells
us that what we hear is the sound Of the surf
lashing the rocks hundred and twenty feet
above US, and of the waves that are breaking
on the beach beyond. The tide is now at the
flow, and the sea is in no extraordinary state
of agitation so the sound is low and distant
just at this period. But when storms are at
their height, when the ocean hurls mountain

the noise is terrific; the roaring heard down
