SAs FnaSc1sco, March @.-The ex-
tsnt of the proposed investigation by
Controller Dunn into the management
Of the various State trusts is the subject
Of considerable speculation in political
circles. Statements arc already made
that the pruning process viii be carried
whore least expected, and will eventually
compromise leading State officials. In
the recent Legislature, Whi,h to a Ger
tain extent outlines the policy to be
pursued by the present administration.
the effort was then made to increase
the contingent fund of the Attorney
General to 5000, on the ground that
the business in his Office would be very
materially increased. Those who pressed
the passage of the bill increasing the
funds of that officer were not under cir

A Weaderfal Voyage.
The dory Pacific, which left this port
last August under command aud sole
control of Capt. Bernard Gilloy, bound
for Australia, reached its destination in
the early part of February after u re-
markable passage. In latitude l20 deg.
west, she met large numbers of sharks.
which tapped the little vessel with their
tails, until the captain was obliged to
rig ''scare crow to keep then, off. He
made a harpoon and speared several,
but could not get them on board. On
November 18th a heavy SEA struck
the starboard side Of the boat,
turning her tottom up. He was thrown
under her, but came up on the other
side, and managed to catch hold of the
rudder. After taking of his clothes he
tied his watch inside the boat, made a
dag and succeeded in riohtinG her, but
she went over a second time, losing her
rudder and two compasSes. The coal
oil mixed with the bread and he was
Obliged to throw both overheard. Short
l. - a GwnYd. floh
struck the boat, making hole IN her.
He was about exhausted when he
caught q sea fowl, and subsisted the re-
mainder of the trip ON flying fish: At
last accounts he was suffering with ty-
phoid fever, the result of exposure.
