Tracic End of Yachting Cruise.

Australian advices bring details of
a tragic conclusion to an attempt to
cruise round the world in a two and
a half ton yacht named the Kia Orc.
In high spirits Mr.. Horace Buckridge,
who saw active service in South Al
RIGA with Thorneycroft's Horse, and
the Imperial Mounted Infantry, and
Mr.. G. H. Snowden set out on their
adventurous voyage from Osborne, in
New Zealand. London was their first
great objective, and until the seventh
day of the voyage they were confident
Of reaching it. On that day their trou-
bles began. First Mr.. SnoWden was
struck on the head by the boom and
had to give in, and a few hours later
Mr.. Buckridge, while taking in the
sail and clearing away the gear, fell
from aloft. 1t was not a great fall,
but his injuries terminated fatally on
the following night. For three days
Mr.. Snowden kept the body of his com
panion on board, but at the end of
that time he had to consign it to the
deep. To do so-Mr. Buckridge weigh
ing 1872 pounds-he had to rig up a
tackle, and hoist him by that means
over the side, attaching pieces of iron
to the body to weigh it down. Mr..
Snowden decided to return after that,
but the weather was SO bad that he
almost COVE up hope of ever reaching
land. For eighteen days and nights
he had no sleep, being continually at
the tilIer, and lived on biscuits, all the
fresh food having gone bad owing to
the stiffness of the cabin. He ulti-
mately reached Osborne more dead
Than alive.

Call money again became drug in
the market yesterday. A great deal of
money was offered. and so much was
the supply in excess of the demand
that the rate was forced down to l per
cent. No activity was reported in the
time money market. where rates were
unchanged at the lower level of quota
tons established at the close of last
week There was little business trans
acted in the foreign exchange market
owing TO the day being a holiday in all
the financial centers of Europe. The
price of demand sterling was practical
~ unchanged at 4S675.
Higher rates for money doubtless
would have no adverse effect on the
stock market, as there is practically no
demand for stock market accommoda-
ton at present. Brokers are well sup
piled with time money, while most of
the current stock purchases that are
r1ade for outside account represent
cash transactions rather than marginal
operations. People who are carrying
stocks on margin are well protected.
