The annual reports of the secretary, cor

Mrs. Tallerday, as superintendent of the
Flower mission, also presentated report
of the distribution of bouquets during the

to q Sick Seaman

The Dunboyne, fears of whose safety
have been rife in the last forty-eight hours,
is now safely anchored about fifteen faith
oms f. ON the end of the partially wrecked
wharf at Port Los Angeles. The Dunboyne
deeply laden with cement and salt made
a quick passage from London, her actual
time being somewhat short of 100 days.
She had discharged about one-half of her
cargo when the storm came up and the
rickety wharf was wobbling SO seriously
that she put to sea. She has sustained no
damage of a serious nature. One of her
crew, Hans Johansen, an able Sc aman,
shipped on her few days prior to her de-
parture from the Thames. Two weeks
later he was seized with severe attack of
inf ammatory rheumatism and was unfit
for duty. His shipmates, who speak we'll
of him, nursed him. turn about, and as soon
as he was able to stand his watch Johansen
turned out. But the mate charged him in
nautical vernacular with ''soldiering," and,
it is said, kicked and beat him shame
fully. Mr.. Johansen has his well stocked
sea chest aboard the ''Dunboyne" and
though $47 are due him, he was penniless
when found by THE HERALD reporter. The
English consul will see to his case and
that justice is done him at q hearing to-
morrow.
