A dissipated oyster that had just com.

Most Desolate Part OF the Ocean.

The schooner Charles Il. Moody,
Captain Gates, arrived at Almond street
wharf, recently, from the islands Of
d'Acunha, situated in the South Allan
tic OCEAN, in the most desolate spot In
the world. She stopped at Martinique
to get cargo Of sugar. The Moody
was chartered by New York parties to

guano. The vessel was compelled to
abandon the enterprise, owing to her
inability 10 make landing, there being
no harbors on the coast Captain Gates,
ON January l2th, visited In small boat
both Tristan d'Acunha and Nightingale
Island. Nightingale is uninhabited.
The other island has ninety seven inhab.

and the majority OF the population were
women, who are described as being very
tall and handsome. They seemed sharp
at trading, but were without education
aud very indolent and lazy. The cap.
tain also describes lake Of fresh water
which was situated on the top Of a
mountain 5000 feet above the surface
OF the sea, and In which the tide ebbed
and flowed. No merchant vessel has
ever been known TO visit the islands, and
there are not probably ten men in this
country who have ever been there.
After securing laborers an attempt was
made to explore Nightingale Island.
which was found rich with guano, COW
cred with eggs and thronged with pen
guins. Efforts to obtain adead.and- alive
cargo were futile, ing to the impossi-
bility Of finding safe anchorage. The
governor or head man of Tristan d'Acun-
ha said that valuable dog had escaped
from II. b. Nj. surveying ship Chal-
lenger eleven years ago. II was searched
for, found and taken on board the
Moody, but died on the passage to
Martinique. The islands visited are
situated in lat. 81 6, long. IL o., are
