Mr.. {. \. Falstedt, the Norwegian
Consul for Sydney has now received
from MIR. II. j. Moors, of Apia, Sa
moa, who is the owner of a trading
station on Sophia Island, claim for
{ 167 ISIS i'd, as compensation for the
Entertainment" of the sailors of the
wrecked bark SeladOn,' during their
ten months stay on the island. The
claimant also suggests that the Nor
wegian authorities should make
some acknowledgment to the two is
landers who shared their clothes and
| tobacco with his distressed country
men, and the women who so kindly
nursed them" MIR. Fastedt is not
disposed to admit Mr.. Moor's claim
| although quite prepared to properly
recognize the kindness of the island
ers. He points out that during the
ten months the sailors voluntarily Ia
bored for the good of the island-in
clearing the underground and tending
the plantations-and he considers this
work would be worth more that the
amount claimed. The charterers of
the bark Ellen have also claimed e 45
los from the Norwegian government,
/ to defray the cost of bringing the sal
lors from Fiji to Sydney.
