SMART LIFE-SAVING IN THE TROPICS.

While the British-India Line steamer Woodarra was efr the west coast of Africa a native fireman collapsed and fell overboard, hut lie was rescued. Having completed his shift in the stokehold, die fireman came on deck oil the way to his quarters. He stood by the rail a moment, arid suddenly collapsed, falling over the side. A member of the crew gave the alarm, and tlie officer of the watch turned the Woodarra back. A boat was lowered, and the man was found floating in the water in a semi-conscious condition. He was taken back to the ship within fourteen minutes of the time of the accident, and scon recovered under the attention of the ship’s doctor. The Woodarra is the cadet ship of the British-India Line, and is manned by tliirtv-four youths, who are being trained as officers for the fleet.

NO CARGO OFFERING

As it was found impossible to obtain an outward cargo for the Norwegian steamer Luise Nielsens, she left lier berth at Melbourne on October 7th and took up an anchorage in the bay. At present, it- is said,- there is no prospect of dispatching the vessel until there are wheat cargoes offering. A delay of three months is therefore possible, and it was decided that the crow should be paid off. As the sailors shipped at a Norwegian port, they refused to accept their discharge except under conditions unfavorable to the master. All hands will remain aboard during the vessel’s stay at Melbourne.
