_ Auckland, Wednesday. Mrs Belles, wife of a second-class pasaenger on board the ship Merwanjee Fraojee, landed to-day raving mad. She went queer about ten days agx>, and got worse gradually. One day she tried to throw herself through the port. She had two children on board, and is far advanced in pregnancy, which the doctors say is cause of malady. On the 4th of February the ship passed a tremendous iceberg, two miles long, half a mile wide, and 300 feet high. Mary Saunton, aged two years, fell down a well in Newton and was drowned to- < day. This is the third case in a fortnight.
