famous trophy in American waters, was
launched from Fay's yard at SO t ampton

shortened sails, but shovel a speed of
10 knots an hour against a stiff northeast
wind. Aft'r she had been sailing for a few
hours, the wind increased to a gale, AMI,
notwithstanding her mains; i was reefed, the
Galateas canvas was so badly damaged as to
make it necessary for her TO put into Ports

HERR MOST.
Vienna Pleased His Arrest.

News of Most's arrest was "a balm of
Gilead' to the majority of the Niemnese.
Herr Most was equally hated and di eaded
when he lived there. The workmen among
whom he lived used to call him the man
with the birds head and his bloodthiroty
mouthings had inspired them with Il kind of
respect which has not been quite destroyed
even by his cowardice. The Ncue fleic
P.'esse, commenting ON his capture, said:
"If fate had placed him on despot's throne,
he would have been a Domitian. From his
youth up his dreams have been of bombs,
lapidroneS, arms, blood, murder and death.
Nobody could fill Johann Most's place. No
one VIII succeed him, for kindly nature sell
dom begets such creatures" The Neue
Wiener Tagblatt, taking less serious view
of Most, opines: He is played out in Amer
lea, and would find no shelter in Europe"
He might have joined a Hungarian brigand
last week, but now even that resource is
gone, for the famous Savanyu Joshi the last
of the Hungarian brigands, is standing his
trial with his occomplices, and has fair
chance of hanging. For years Savauyu
JOSH was regarded as a hero, and strangers
