DEATH OF CAPTAIN CABLE.
Auckland, This day. Captain Cable, an old identity, aged 80, is dead. Recently his mind showed signs of weakening. Last Friday he told his attendants that he was going to be flogged by some person, and he would go into the water so that they could not get at him_ so easily. Laboring under this hallucination he went and laid down in a creek, immersing the whole of his body except his head, which he rested on a stone, A short time elapsed before he was discovered. When taken out of the water he was quite numb, and he gradually sank through the shock to his system.
