The scenes la front of the building after midnight were exling. The knowledge that the vole was to be taken attracted a large crowd, Many fish were in the throng and the sentiment of the crowd was generally for Home Role and Gladstone. Thiswax expressed in many way5-~~-~- by slaging the "Wearing of the Green," "God Save Ireland, cheering for Gladstone and hoatlag for Balfour.
When the announcement that the House had passed the hill was xecelerd, the crowd went wild. The polles were slarmed at the antics and a cordon was drawn before the members exit. The crowd sarged around the cabs and cariages and as each member of any distinction was recognized be was given a cheer.
When Gladstone's canlage came out a number of mounted police Immediately surrounded it, but the crowd, when they learned who was in the carriage, became beyond control, and break. ing through the cordon, stopped the carriage and held it while they cheered the Premier to the echa. The coachman was enabled to pro- cee' after a few minutes, but by this time the entle crowd left their positions and started after the carriage, which again stopped at the comer of Downing stree', and was detained while the crowd chreret and sang "See the Conquering Here Comes.".

This was satisfactory; so they reled up their hawkers and compiled with the next signs) "Can you lend as an anchor" with the desprich characteristic of a man-of-war, and the anchor bung over the side ready to be lowered into lighter as the ganboat's anchor dropped from her bows. Ten minutes later the chief officer arrived with a native boat, the anchor was taken away and in a than half an hour the big mer wheeler lay at anchor once more, a few hundred yards fom the spot where she had been on shore for five days, and right glad must the officers and crew have beer, for they had been making almost superhuman efforts to flat their ship: engineers as black as niggers, captain and mates as brown as gipates. Everything that would appreciably lighten the ship was landed on the beach, tocluding coal and water three anchors were last and worse than all, when at last the ship did slip off on a rising river she did it so anexpectedly that their steamboat, made fast singside, not being noticed by the officers at that anxious moment, was samshow over ridden and sunk. The following day the Esk, finding she could render no farther assistance to the worn-out watchers and workers, who, refreshed by good night's rest, were now as realous to re-load and recover their anchors they had been ta fost their ship, proceeded to this port where she was followed by the Changwe in less than twenty-four hours.
