An Amusing Glimpse.

The matters Of difference between joey GcugeR
helm and her shipmates Of the bark Glimpse, have
assumed an interesting and highly amusing
phase. Joey's complaint is very lengthy one and
sets forth the representation of various horrible
outrages by the Captain OF the Glimpse, of which
the following is a brief synopsis:
Deponentess alleges that in July last she and her
sister Adelaide, and their agent, Ripley A. Eddy,
engaged passage on the Glimpse at Melbourne, Au-
stralia, for San Francisco; that she paid two nun
dred pounds sterling for the said passage OF the SAID
trio, in consideration of which sum, the Captain oil
the Glimpse covenanted and agreed to put her and
her sister and Eddy in complete aid absolute pos
session Of that vessels cabin and provide them with
all sorts olittle nicites such sugar. fresh meat,
and chicken-fxins to match, and furthermore to
detail waiter fer their special accommodate
Sesalledges that instead of doing as he agreed TO-
the Captain when three days out at sea, refused to
provi lie fresh meat as per agreement and neglected
her and her companions greatly TO their inconven-
ence and detriment, besides declaringin gruff
voice. in the presence. of witnesses that she could
git to go to hell. or words to that effect. Miss
Joey further complains that when about seven
weeks on their voyage, the Glimpse put into the
port of Noukahina, and that while there the afore-
said Captain was heard to say some awful things
concerning her and her sister, and that he kept up
his abuse for the space of exactly fifteen minutes
by the chronometer's mean time. 1t was at this
port as she avers that she was deprived of sugar
for sweetning lemonade and such like, in conse
quence of which her physical condition was much
deranged, She alsossets forth that the Glimpse
was unnecessarily detained by running into the Sand
wich Islands, and that while there poor Eddy was
irons, if he persisted in the assumpson of certain
disagreeable airs for which conduct, he, the Cap
tain afterwards exhibited signs of contrition and
penitence. She likewise, and in conclusion, sets
forth that the walters sassy. and that the Cap
tain Gagged them on" and that he scared her by
threatening to run the bark on certain rocks, re-
marking that he "didn't keera dam" etc., ETC., in
consideration of which, she, Joey, prays the Court
to make the old dog fork over to her and her
keeping, the sum Of 5000.
In response to this catalogue of averred outrases,
the steward of the Glimpse comes ont in card in
the San Francisco Times, which we take the liberty
to condense, as follows:
Said steward by name John Green, begs leave to
correct some slight mistakes made by Miss joey
in her complaint, which he does in substance as
sufoined
The servant spoken of by Joey aud styled by
Eddy babe de cham, was brought board by the
trio in the person of one James Shannon, shoul
der striker but on account of little law suit James
had with the Colonial authorities he subsequent
ly induced to go shore at Melbourne, and did not
come away, as had been arranged, Concerning the
meats and other delicacies denied her as alleged
the steward says Miss Joey bestowed several com
plments upon him for the excellent quality of his
broths and other culinary preparations, and that
the sacharine matter of which she AYERS limited
allowance, furnished in liberal quantities, and
that what Joey innocenty styles "lemonades' were
clarct sangarees, gin punches, whiskey toddes and
the like. Concerning fine salt and pepper, the stew
ard graciously agrees with Joey but in regard to
certain allegations to the quality and quantity of
hot biscuit he takes issue with the fair complain
ant. He also disagrees with her regarding the
shippers conduct
In addition to this desultory denial. the steward
promises full and complete account OF the Incl
dents of the Glimpse's voyage from Melbourne. for
the perusa of which we shall wait with much i'm
patience.
