DISASTROUS WRECKS.
Loss of the Bark FIJI and Fifteen
Of Her Crew.

By the steamer Alameda, from Sydney
yesterday, was received the news of the
wreck Of the British bark Fiji OH the Austria
lisn Coast. The disaster took place shortly
before the Alameda left Tor this port, and
is stated te have been one of the worst
that has taken place on that coast for many
years. The vessel was wrecked on what is
known as Moonlight Head, distant some
thirty miles from Port Fairy. The Fiji was
on a voyage from London to Melbourne with
tity of dynamite. he wonder is that both
vessel aud crew were not blown to atoms
when the vessel struck the rocks.
Llfe-bOatS were sent from William stown
as soon as the news reached that place, but
long before the lfe-bea. reached the spot
fifteen OF the Inflated crew were drowned.
The others succeeded in making for the
shore and were able to reach Melbourne
overland. Captain .Vickers and thirteen of
the crew were savedin this manner Owing
to the dangerous nature of the cargo no one
was allowed near tine wreck which was
nearly dry at low water. The Fiji was au
iron bark built in Belfast in 1879 and was
owned by w. J. Myers &c co. of Liverpool.
She was 229 feet long, s. feet beam and 90
feet deep.
News of the wreck Of thu fine new steel
steamer Wallarah of Lund's Anchor Line
was also brought up on the Alameda. The
steamer was on her first voyage, and was
only built this year at Sunderland. She had
registered tonnage of 32I3, her length was
800 feet, depth 26 feet ana beam 43 feet, and
she was regarded as one OF the finest OF her
class afinat. Both ship and cargo, valued
at Sl50.000. became a total loss. The Wall
arab was on her way from London TO Mel
bourne, and was wrecked at Dassen Isla nd.

hibtion of family pride in dry goods store
few days ago. Her husband is very
tall, thin man; the chest measure Of his
clothing is very small. and when he buys
underciothing he gets the smallest sizes.
His wife is very large woman. She bad
gone into store TO purchase underclothing
for her husband, and while standing at the
counter examining the goods little bit Of a
woman came in and, seeing the goods dis
played, said:
THAT is what / want; some undershirts
for my husband. No. 3S, please"
What number will you have% said the
salesman, addressing the first woman.
" No. 81, please" was the reply.
The two women bought the same size gar
ments, one buying for big-ehested and the
other for narrow -chested man. When The
latter tonk her purchase home ana displayed

ARRIVAL OF WHALERS.
Cheering News From the Gram

The Story of the Massacre Proves to Be Ca
nard-Latsst Reports Regarding
the Seasons Catch

Yesterday was a busy one for the
whalers, as three of that class of ships
came in. They were the barks Lydia from
Uniunak Pass with 600 barrels of oil and
400 pounds of bone for Wright. Brown &
Co.. the Horatio from Fox Island with 100
barrels of oil and $500 pounds of bone con-
signed to William Lewis, and the brig w.
II. Meyers from the 0khotsk Sea with 430
barrels of oil and 500 pounds of bone con-
signed to James McKenna.
BY the Meyers it IS learned that up to
September 18th the Cape Horn Pigeon had
taken one sperm and four right whales.
The Charles W. Morgan was spoken on
September % with four whales, and the
Mary II. Thomas. spoken on the same day.
had three whales. The Horatio brought
welcome news regarding the whalerS Gram
pus and Mary d. Hume. as both were spoken
by the steam whaler Orca on October 4th.
All the stories about the crew Of the
Grampus having been mass acred by the
natives are false, as with the single excep-
ton of one of her officers who died at sea,
the vessels entire crew is alive and in good
health. 1t was also learned that not man
had deserted from tie vessel since she sailed
from San francisco, so that the rev of the
Huratio laughs 1T the story told to credu-
louS reporter by recent arrival OF his de-
SerGOn from the Grampus, anu his adFen-

The Grampus had taken twenty-one
whales IN to the time she was spoken by
the Orca. and the Mary ID. Hume had
twelve. The bone taken by the latter was
transferred to the 0rca, and tue Hume will
remain in the Arctic during the coming

that the Industrial School would probably

MISCELLANEOUS.
HEALTH SUGGESTIONS.

Plenty of light is as essential to good health as
pure air.
Eat meals of good. plain food regularly. Mutton
Ia the most dIgestible meat.
In wet weather wear Stout waterproof boots in
preference to rubber overshoes.
DR.. b. W. Richardson says that he has never
known death from bronchitis pneumonia that
did not spring from cold. 1t follows then that a
cold Is more dangerous malady than is usually
thought; so be careful of yourself.
BY far the best method of getting rid OF cold and
consequent depression is to take little pure Risky
in water. Such stimulant promotes the circula-
ton which has been checked and the effects
OF the chill.
Great care should be exercised in buying whisky.
The presence o. fusil oil or other Impurities is a
source OF danger to those who imbtbe it
The only whisky that is manufactured for purely
medicinal purposes is Dufy's Pure Malt, and may
be obtained from druggists and grocers. There is
