THE WRECK OF THE " WUHU"
The following is the official finding of the Naval Court of Inquiry
The Court pursuant to an order from Captain Heary N. Hippisley, Senior Naval officer, pre- sent, has enquired into the circumstances attend. ing the loss of the British steamship Wuhu, official No. 79,685, which took place on the 6th January, 1883, near the Upper Waterman buoy in the river Yangtaze Kiang and into the conduct of the officers and crew and finds as follows:-
That the steamship Wuhu, official num ber 79,685 of which James Mackay who holds a Provisional Certificate of Competency dated 18th October, 1875, granted by the Captain of H.M.'s Thalia, was Master, was stranded about 300 yards to the Eastward of the Upper Water- man Buoy (now the Vine Point Lower Buoy) on the Langshan Crossing at 2.30 pm, of the 6th January, 1883, and subsequenely. became a total wreck

Ningpo is very free from sickness amongst the foreign community, only colds and coughs prevail.
Shooters had a fine time in the country, game plentiful, but in some cases, guns could not carry far enough, the birds are very wiki. One party of three got about seventy ducks in three days.

The chief manager, Chun Yan Shan, of the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company, Inte compmdore of Messrs. Russell & Co., died here on Monday morning. Quite a story is con nected of his family relations, He belonged to Chuman, and is 48 years of age, he leaves two wives and two daughters, the Chinese
say that he died of grief as he could get no sons. He was taken ill the day after a daughter was born. His father had two wives-three sons by his first wife, within the past three years all have died, each son had two wives and none of them have had male heirs. It seems that according to Chinese custom, none of them can be buried, When this one is removed to Chusan there will be a lather and three sons at the family residence to bury, there are seven wives and some daughters left alive, the mother died some time ago-Temperance Union Correspondence..

that the skeleton is the highest type of manly beauty, His arms are bones, hardly concealed by the skin that covers them, and his legs seem almost too thin to carry even his attenuated form. But his face has a frank and independent expres- slon, and though upon a man of ordinary proper. tions it might show a somewhat unbecoming prominence of cheek and chin bones, as com- pared with the outline of his fall body, it ap pears to be positively fat.

8. That he also committed a grave error in jugdment in not altering his course to the west- ward sufficiently on getting four fathome.
9-That after the stranding of the Wuhu every effort was made to save the vessel, and that the officers and crew performed their duties properly; the Court, however, desires to call at tention to the unsatisfactory way in which Wil- liam Campbell, the Chief Engineer, gave his evidence.
The decision of the Court is
1.That James Mackay be severely repri- manded for his want of greater caution in the navigation, of his vesicl, and he is hereby repti-
manded.
2-That his Provisional Certificate of Com- petency be returned to him.
3That he pays the costs of this enquiry. The Court desires to express its opinion that the loss of the 'k was in some measure occasioned by the want of distinct marks on each of the buoys marking the channel in the Langshan Crossing. The Court is of opinion that the absence of the second officer from the deck contributed to the fact that the Waterman buoy was not sighted. It also appeared in evidence that the Upper Waterman Buoy (Vine Point Lower Buoy) had been adrift on the previous downward voyage of the Wuhu and upward voyage of the S. S. Shanghat.

She weighs, probably, four times as much as the skeleton, but as he only tums the scale at forty pounds, it will be seen that she is not abnormally large. She may be called plump, and she is very pretty. She is perhaps 30 years of age-five years the sheleton's AMERICAN CAST STEEL SHOVELS junior.

It had been currently re parted among the curiosities of the show that the skeleton had neither lungs, heart nor liver, and that a steady eye could look through him and see an object behind. The existence of respiratory and digestive organs may still be a matter of doubt, but Miss Thompson indignantly repudiates the rumor that he has no heart.

The courtship was quite short. Miss Thomp son told her lover, in plain prose, the history of her simple life. He gave her a poem of twenty. four verses, fully describing his own. This poem he is in the habit of sciling for five cents a copy, and she, overcome by this last proof of her skeleton lover's devotion, promised to be his wife. In a fateful moment the skeleton was sent to the Brooklyn slow. He was in despair, but his true love comforted him, and an appointment was made for last Saturday night. At nine o'clock the skeleton was at the New York Museum, where be met Miss Minnie Thompson; at ten o'clock they were in Jersey City, and at eleven o'clock they had been united in marriage by the Rev.
