LOST EVERYTHING.

Captain Petersen and his wife lost
everything they had in the way OF
personal effects. The captain esti-
mates his loss at about 5000. He lost
his charts, flags, nautical instruments
and in fact everything. He landed
with 4 very poor suit of clothes, which
had not been off his back for twenty
eight days. His quarter interest in
the vessel is amply secured, as he in
sured it in San Francisco some months
since for $4,000 in the Fireman's
Fund Insurance Company. 1t is his
intention to leave for San Francisco
on the next Australia, accompanied
by his wife.
