PERILOUS VOYACE.
CAPTAIN S WIFE TAKES A WATCH PRKSS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Sydney, Nov 12, The barquontino Mary Isabel, of 300 tons, intended for the Sydney-New Zealand trade, had an adventurous, lengthy voyage from Grimsby. She put into Algoa Bay, trouble having arisen with the crew, some of whom, it is alleged, formed a conspiracy to do away with Captain Read and seize the vessel. At Algoa Bay six men deserted, and during a heavy gale the vessel parted anchor, and was driven to sea short handed. She made for Mauritius, where she obtained more men, but the officers left her.

This was looked upon as an attempt to endanger the ship’s safety
