WHEN the C. P. R. steamer Athenian, en route for Vancouver, arrived in Kobe on 7th inst., the medical inspection resulted in the discovery of a case of small-pox. The patient was a Chinaman. He was at once taken on shore, where he succumbed to the disease. The Athenian was disinfected and proceeded ou her voyage.

Unlike most musical comedies Killy Grey has a strain of pathos in it, and it gains in dignity thereby,

until about ra.m. when the fog lifted. Full speed ahead was then ordered, but she had not gone far when it again became necessary to put her under easy speed, a dense fogsenling down at a quarter to 2. She was kept at this till 20 past 1, when both the lookout men (two were stationed forward) and the officers on the bridge-Captain Vyvvian him. self and the zad Officer, Mr. A. J. Metcalfe- sighted something through the fog straight head. Orders were given at once to reverse the engines and go full speed a tern, but promptly though the orders from the bridge were acted upon by the Engineer on watch the ship struck before she had lost way. The ship was going dead slow at the time, and therefore did not strike heavily but went up very quietly, All hands were called. Word was conveyed to the passengers to dress and get on deck; the men were ordered to boat stations and every- thing made ready for the worst. Mr. Kennedy, the Chief Officer, speaks very highly indeed of the beheaviour of the crew-Chinese. The men mustered in response to the boatswain's whistle and fell in ready for emergencies. There was no sign of a panic and little or no excite. ment. The boats were swung out and lowered to the sail feady to leave the ship side at a moment's notice. Blankets were got ready for the passengers, but this notwithstanding the lennes-the three children on board range in age from 4 to 10-felt the sharp cold air of 13. the night acutely. Every one speaks in the hughest terms of the discipline preserved during this trying time. Captain Vyvvian decided to back his ship off if possible, so when everything was seen to be ready for an immediate transfer to the boats if necessary orders were passed to the Engine Room to go full speed astern. After 15 minutes' work the ship came off. By this time the fog lad lifted and the position of the ship was seen. She had gone ashore close to the westernmost point of Sada Misaki. A few hundred yards further west and she would have passed clear and unscathed. She was making water and an hour after being refloated had 5 feet of water in No. I hold. Captain Vyvvian decided to make for Moji, that being the near. docking accommodation could be obtained. est port, and there ascertain where the best Moji was reached safely on the and inst, after a period of intense anxiety. After making full inquiries it was decided to come back to Kobe, where the steamer safely arrived on the 4th inst, The Monmouthshire is now in dry dock at Kawasaki and examination of her bottom shows that she is very badly damaged. Her repairs are likely to occupy two or three weeks. Sada Misaki, the scene of the disaster, is a rocky coast, and, altogether, it may be considered a very fortunate thing that the steamer was so soon and sa successfully got off and brought safely into port.
