Among these Captain Foster mentions the constant bathing of the bend in sea-water, and the inhaling of ara-water into the nostrils. But onc member, at least, of his bont's crew,would not adopt this Inst measure fest he should be tempted to swallow the salt-water.

They dared not move in the hant or stand up. Few verer "trials can be imagined than this three weeks' enforced immobility. Only two cases of anything amounting to indiscipline 'are related by Captain Foster-one in which a sailor. no doubt in a mood of petulance induced by physical weakness, insisted that to drink salt water was not dangerous, and thus led some of the native sailors to drink it; and a more serious case of delinquency, also to be explained by physical causes, in which one of the men drank the spirit from the useless com- pass, and nearly died in consequence.
