Again, when the cause of the tremor is considered, we "enter the realm of speculation.

In conclusion, it is our opinion that we are unable on the evidence and data available to say what were the causes of the founder ing the Shahzada or, even to take any profitable suggestion as to what they were."

DOCTOR'S MIDNIGHT OPERA- TION OFF CAPE HORN. Details of a feat of surgery off Cape Horn, carrie out under almost incredible conditions with scissors, & Rafety-pin, but spoons, clothes pegs, and meatbooks as in plements, but ending in' success, were told by the officers and crew of the Commonwealth of Dominion Line steamer Part duckim as she moved into dock at Woolwich.

The central figure is a young New

Zealand surgeon who was on his way to England for the first time. He is Dr. A. S. Hethrington, just 25, who studied medicine at Dune din University:

A search of the records by the shipping men of ports throughout the world has failed to shed any light on the name or nationality of the menacing bulk which is report- ed to have been discovered by the steamer Liberaler 1,150 miles from

Honolulu.

Prisoner pleaded, with regard to his failure to report, that he had lost his licence and had quently been afraid to report.

His Lordship sentenced prisnoer to âve years' imprisonment with hard labour on the Arst two colimti and one year's hard labour on the

third count, sentences to run con- earrently.

Prisoner: What, for stealing a few chickens? How can the Court impose such a sentence.

His Lordship Remember your past record.

Prisoner appealed for banish- ment instead, but His Honour adhered to his original sentence.

SCALDED TO DEATH.

SHIP'S BOILER EXPLOSION.

Mariado Alfaro y Madelo, age 28, was scalded to death at 2 p.m. last Thursday when the port boiler of the Consuelo, a Madrigal and Company steamer, exploded, at Manila. Aaro received burns on his legs, face, arms and body thas resulted in his almost immedi ate death.

Four others, employed as Foll passers, were in the boiler room of the Consuelo when the explosion occurred but were able to make good their escape..

Alfaro, who was working nearer the boiler than the other four, re ceived only a few burns when the explosion occurred but in making for the "door, he tripped and the scalding water, coming from the boiler in jets, covered him fren:

head to foot.

Secret service officials are investi- gating the explosion.
