FOREIGN MISSIONS REPORT.
Submitted by the merican Board-In-
teresting Statistics Furnished.

BOSTON, December 24.-The annual
port of the American board Of foreign mis-
sions contains many interesting figures.
The total amount of disbursements during
the past year was $74S,3OS an increase over
the previous year of s7,7S5, and the excess
of expenditures above receipts was s22. 1871.
The tendency of expenditures Is upward,
even while the basis of appropriations for
general work remains the same. This year
the increase was due largely to the new
efforts to enlarge the constituency through
the young peoples department.
The additions to the conditional gift fund
were ST. ,426. The fund, which six years
ago was only s124,O00, now amounts to
s462, ,2S3.
The regular work of the European Tur-
key mission has been no less disturbed in
the year under review than for the last
three years In some respects the disturb
ances have been more critical. The Turk
ish villages suffered from the depredations
of the insurgents and the Christ tian villages
from the Turkish troops. The present
prospect for political quiet is more encour-
aging than year ago.
The report says: THE last year has wit
messed the continuance of the effort of our
government to secure the authoritative rec
ognition of American institutions and of
American citizens in the empire, which
Turkey has long since conceded to the in
sttutiOns and citizens of France, Germany,
Russia, Italy and England, strangely thus
far without success. There is no abate-
ment in the demand which our government
makes.
There is the definite purpose to secure
what is our manifest right, and unreason-
able delay on the part of Turkey will only
heighten the pressure and call forth what
ever measures may prove to be needful.
In the ordinary proceedings of the year
friendly relations have been maintained,
particularly wrongs have been righted, and
there is great occasion for recognizing with
hearty appreciation the services of the
legation and the steadfast support of the
government"

DR1FTED 200 MILES IN RowBoAT.
Thrilling Experience Of Shipwrecked
Mariner-Pursued by Sharks.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 24.-A voy-
age of 200 miles by oar, almost destitute of
provisions and water, and pursued by
horde of giant sharks that threatened mo-
mentarily day and night to capsZe the craft

ience of Capt. Sam Harris and four South
Sea Islanders, who composed the crew of

This is tale of the sea brought here by
the liner Mariposa, Just arrived, which left
Papeete on the day Capt. Harris and his
men landed there, emaciated and nearly
crazed, but still alive When the Victor
ended her career by striking Thereof the
shipwrec,sed crew barely had time to put
off in the boat for their long voyage, made
without a compass and no sail, with one
days provisions on board and half dozen
cocoanuts. The milk from the latter was
all they had to drink during the eleven days
1t took to reach Papeete
The passage was enlivened by a constant
combat with the sharks. In verification of
their story oars were shown splintered and
worn repelling the attacks of the ferocious
fish. which gave them no rest. The Victor
was trader among the Friendly and So
ciety Islands.
