HARD VOYAGE.
Crew Of the GIenog|d Had to

While Cooking.

Victoria. r. c.. Aug 1.-The first details
OF the death OF captain of the ship Glen
ogle and the reasons for the long passage
of that vessel from England to the South
American coast are contained i'm a letter
received here by ex-Mayor Redfern from
his son, William, who is passenger on
the Gleno6ie.
The letter was written at sea but posted
at Tocapillo on the 26th OF June, shortly
after the arrival OF the Glenogle there.
Redfern says the captain died at sea
number OF days before reaching port. and
TO add To the complications and trouble,
the first mate and steward also fell an,
probably with the same disease which
,at snort the career of the captain. and
which, through there being no one aboard
with medical knowledge could not be di-
ugnoscd.
Then the water supply ran short. and
pots ana pans We're placed ON deck to

ply the men and leave a scant supply in

Fuel and oil ran out at last, so dire
was the extremity. that the crew was
forced TO cut away the spars of the ship

eties may have had much 10 do With the

the part OF both men. The winner for
tunately caught his motor pacing tan
dem first and struck into the back
fully 10 yards.
This was cut down from time TO time
until Che front wheel of Michaers pac-
ing machine was within a foot OF the
rear wheel of the leading cycle.
Then the leader made slight gains. but
the distances were lessened occasionally.
During the entire race Michaefs pac-
ms machine managed to vacillate be-
tween a two-foot opening and a 10-yard
space between IL and the wheel OF the
victor.
II was a race between two men who
were apparently very wary of each
other and neither one cared to take
any chances.
The one kept steadily to his work at
high pre- ssure, while the other clung dog
gedly as near to the rear wheel OF his
antagonist as possible.
Neither man changed his pacing ma
chine during the 20 miles. Nelson dared
not risk the loss of q second or two by
the shift and the consequent possible
loss OF the leading position. while Mi
chael was equally doubtful OF his posi-
ton being improved by blmping TO a
fresh motor.
so the extra pacing machine that each
man had on hand circled around the
track on the alert i'm case OF an cmer-
gency through accident or the quick de-
cision OF the rider TO change.

rences, and for that reason Is unable TO relieve
the anxiety of the country, the explanation that
somebody has been trying to save little money
merely aggravates the annoyance.
A striking illustration of the same uneconom-
zeal economy for which the Government. or
course, has no responsibility, was supplied yes
terday in a dispatch from Chefoo to the secre-
tary of the Methodist Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, in this city, announcing that three OF the
