fully, and big seas tcppled over her
bows. The wheel frame of the steam
stearing gear forward broke just after
midnight, probably because of the
straining of the rudder, and the ship
drifted into the trough of the sea.
The crew were ordered aft in a hurry
to clear the hand stearing machinery
around which were piled 10000 box
frames in bundles. While they were
pitching the box frames overheard the
giant waves were smashing things on
deck and making life extremely I'M
comfortable for the fifteen cabin pas
sengers.
Twenty two sheep of flock OF sixty
five in pens on the spar deck forward
were killed and nearly all the rest
were knocked down among the twenty
nine cattle in pens on the same deck
amidships. The compass lamps and
pinnacle were smashed, one of the
starboard lifeboats was STAYED into
kindling wood, and another was
washed from its davits into the sea.
The sea flooded the saloon and invaded
the staterooms and frightened the
passengers. Twenty feet of the ships
starboard rail was carried away and
Sanctions were twisted like wire.
The hand stearing gear was cleared
and the ships head was put TO the seas
at last. Then the crew were set to
work with pals bailing out the saloon,
which had half foot of water in it.
Some of the cattle got loose, but they
were so badly frightened and bruised
that they were not able to do much
damage before they we're secured.
Eight cattle on the main deck were
killed in the tumult.
The ship got into Hamilton, Ber-
muda, early on Monday morning last,
and after being repaired sailed for this
port.

LARCENY by BAILEE.-This is
the charge under which n carpenter
and householder named Bright now

not guilty. Mr.. Bright, who came
here not long since from California,
took the contract to build new resi-
dence for James B. Nesmith, of
Dixie, Polk courtyard has been en-
/ gagged in the work. Last Saturday
he wanted to come home aud visit
his family in North Salem, ana Mr..
Nesmith loaned him horse aIid
cart for that purpose, but ne un. the
property aforesaid did not show up
IN Polk county since. After coming
here he sold the cart to man who
works at the state prison, left the
harness at one of the livery stables
and then purchased a new outfit on
tlme-the harness from Warren
Johns at Dearborn',, and the cart
from Martin Rowley, Of c Brown

sae of the rig to his wife
and has concealed the property
somewhere, so that Mr.. Nesmith |
cannot find it, nor can the officers so /

so he is in jail until sober. 1t ap-
pears that some changes have been
made in the plans of Mr.. Nesmlth's
house, by which the cost of building
was increased from the original CON
tract price, and for these additions,
when completed, Bright was to take
in pay the very horse and cart which
he has now appropriated; but the
house is nowhere near finished and
there was no Intention Of giving
