II Captain Nielsen, who brought up
the Danish bark Jordan F. Lott
from South America, is suffering
from a peculiar wound that may
prove fatal. About three weeks
ago, while the vessel was at sea, a
sailor dropped a marlin-spike from
the topgallant yard, and it struck
point first on the captains foot,
pinning him to the deck. The
wound did not appear serious, and
the captain paid little attention to
it, but few days before he reach
ed port the pain became frightful.
As soon as he got home he sent for
a doctor, who told him he was in
grave danger of lockjaw. The
fwound had healed, as far as APP
pearances went, but inside the foot
was all inhamed. An operation
was performed, but at present it is
impossible to say what the result
will be.-S. +. Call.

rived from Fiji December 29th,
says the Auckland Star, brought
news of a hurricane in the Fiji
! Group on December 18th and two
following days. There was little
damage done at Suva, but in the
Rewa Rewa district considerable
injury was done to the sugar mills
and plantations. The steamer
Birksgate, from Sydney via Nou-
mea, was three days in the gale,
and lost the whole of her deck
cargo and 10 horses. The Birks-
gate picked up the bark Chasca, OF
Sydney, in partially dismasted
condition, having her three top
masts carried away, while some
minor damage had been done, and
lowed her into Suva. The Union
Company's steamers Poherua ard
Maori were in the group at the
time of the gale, and passed
through it safely.

Francisco from the captain of the

whale measuring 81 feet long. We

ceeded in getting about fifteen o.
sixteen tons of blubber on spec
