the Australia passed down by this

the boiler riVets came out. Key West
was made on the Goth, and the little
craft got aground and could not geti
Off for six days, the citizens of Key
West looking upon the crew a fill
busters and not rendering them any
assistance. Finally they were aided
bya friendly high tide" and reached
Nassau June Sd, where they created

undergoing thorough repairs the Aus
tralia again went to sea on the I'd of
July, and encountered very rough
weather, which reduced the crew to
the necessity Of seeking an anchorage.
Accordingly the frail boatmade Kings

for S2575, the best thing that could be
done with her, rs all former expert
ence tended to establish the fact that
she never could reach her destination.
