"The gunboat Goshawk, which was dispatched
to Gibraltar about month ago by the, Port Ad-
miral at Queenstown, in obedience to telegram
purp0rtipg to come from the Admiralty, returned
that the message upon which she was sent to sea
was fictitious.

count Of the affair: About month ago tele-

that as much coal as could possibly be slowed
should be laid In.

ing thessalmon and oyster fisheries. She was I'm
mediately brought down to Haulbow line, and q
large quantity Of coal and stores put In. There
absence of some Of the crew, who were on leave
but they were all mustered with dispatch, and In
less than twenty.four hours after the receipt OF
the order the Goshnwk was on her way to Glib
"The weather at the time was very bad, and as
these gunboats are not designed for seagoing
there was much mlsgiying as to her safety. Very
soon after she sailed, another telegram was re.
ceved from the same source asking To be advised
II the Goshawk had proceeded TO Galway, re-
ply was at ence sent back from the Admiral's s
office at Queenstown, stating that In accordance
