cargo of redwood, which she dis
charged at Sydney. On the 25th of
january of the present year she
sailed from Newcastle, n. S. W.,
loaded with $50 tons of coal, to be
landed at Eureka. On March 18th
it was discovered that she had sprung
Il leak. For twenty-five days we
worked like madmen, scarcely taking
time to eat of our poor and meagrc
rations. One day while drifting
about we sighted what we supposed
to be an island, but upon coming
nearer we discovered that it was
nothing but barren rock. With
saddened hearts we tackled about in
another direction. On the twenty
second day after we discovered the
leak We saw ahead of us what looked
to be quite large piece of land.
When about entering q harbor we
struck upon coral reef. We were
at once discovered by natives of
the island, and upon making inquiry
were told that we were in English

Island This island is good many
miles south of the Hawaiian Islands.
and is owned by Scotchman named
Gregg, who was shipwrecled about
twenty-thrco years ago, and who
found his way TO that place. lie
married Il native woman, and has
had seven children by her. One is
beautiful girl of seventeen years.
She was educated at the Sandwich
Islands, and has Travelled extensively
in Europe and the United States.
She seems to like her island home.
In fact, she has often told me that
she would not exchange it for any
other in the world. One day whilst
Captain Gregg was on his way to
Honolulu, the first mate of the
Premier, who had been making love
in u surrcptitious fashion to this
daughter of the sea, proposed to her,
was accepted, and in the presence
of all of the inhabitants of the island
they consented to take each other as
husband and wife, with proviso on
the the part of the young woman that
mate would never return to his native
country to live. Fanning's Island
is pcarly seven miles long and about
four in width. There is much guano
upon it. and cocoanuts and bananas
are also abundant. Captain Gregg
is the posSessor of considerable
wealth. acquired through the sale of
cobra and guano. There are n
number of chickens upon the island,
as well rs goats and milch COWS.
Captain Gregg is the owner of nice
bark. which he uses to ply between
his place and the Sandwich Islands.
lie was extremely kind to us, and, /
must say, has but one fault.
After we ran upon the reef it was
necessary to get rid of our cargo,
which we did, with the assistance OF
the natives, and that's saved, at any
rate. We remained upon Tanning s
Island for about SIX months. On
the l1th of September the Malolc
stopped there for cargo of COBRA
On the 18th she went to Washington
Island, returned to Fanning's Island
and left there with the crew of the
Premier ON the 25th, that is all save
the first mate, who remained to pursue
his honeymoon and look after tho
damaged schooner.
