Although it was reported that the barque Cilcnshcc had put into port owing to being short-handed, no one ashore knew under what circumstances the shortage occurred until yesterday. It. appear,- that, on March 15. when the vessel was four days out from Melbourne to Falmouth, she ran into a violent storm— tho storm which, in the captain's opinion, caused the loss of the Yongala. it who drawing townrds evening. r._".d two seamen named Jean Mardellca and John Williams .were out on the bowsprit taking in vil. The barque suddenly dived and shinned a very heavy sea over the bow. Both men were washed off, Williamn going to the Ice, and Mnrdcllcs to the weather side of tho vessel. Lines and lifebelts were thrown to the struggling sailors, and Williams managed to catch bold of a rone, and was hauled on board. It, was not e-o, however, with Mandollos, for, after the first plunge, be was never seen again. Dusk coming on, and a heavy sea raging, it was.regarded at futile to launch a boat, and, as nothing else could be done, the vcescl proceeded on her voyage

Tho' Sydney Shinning List ot March M cays: — Tho decision of the Minister for Customs to appoint an officer with experience of hydrogrnphical survey work when tlio Federal Government takes over control of lighthouses, pilotago work, and other things relative to navigation must ' meet with tho approval of tho shinning ■ community. For a long time it has been , apparent tliat such survey work ao is now contemplated has rco.uircd attention, and • tlio fact thai it has not been dono era .this is responsible for a fairly largo list of casualties besides tho loss of a Hue new ' ■ vessel, asd very serious injury to another ■: as recent a:i last year. . . . .That dis- , aster has not been more- frcouent is solely duo to the knowledge of the shipmasters ■who regularly visit Australia. . . . Not so, however, with a master who visits tho Commonwealth at irregular intervals. Be must rely'on his charts, and if, as is Ire- ' qucntly said, those are not as up-to-date as they should, be, tho risk is .always great, and there is every likelihood of iha Australian coastline being the scene'of very Eerious loss of life and property at any moment.
