One of the crew of the wrecked barque La Bella, Writing from Emu Bay, Tasmania, on March 5, previous to the casualty, the vessel having put in there short of provisions, states-.—"After 30 days' hard battling we put in here short of everything—a proper cleanout. I have never had such a wretched passage across the pond as this has proved, nothing but gales of wind and salt water flying around. And, to make things worse, we ran short of food. We came across (from Kaipara) to Gabo Island in fifteen days, sighted Australia on the loth day, and we have been the other fifteen getting this far. Gales from S.W. to W. and N.W. We have been living on flour and water and tinned fish for the past seven days, no baking, powder, soda, or cream of tartar, so we have had what a bushman calls damper—flour, water and salt, like bricks. God job I have got a cast-iron digestion. BJo milk, sugar or butter for ten days.' Our salt meat was done when 15 days out. Peas and beans ran out yesterday. No spuds for a week past, and consequently no bread, as the cook could not make yeast without potatoes. We managed to get into Emu Bay yesterday, and had a good .' tuckin ' ashore. We were fifteen days barbound at Kaipara, so that is as good ns 45 days out, and still we are not at our port of destination."

The programme of the Auckland Amateur Athletic and Cycle Club's spring carnival to be held" in the Domain on December 16 appears in this evening's issue. It was first thought that the club would have to abandon this important annual fixture owing to lack of interest and public support. However, after a full meeting of members, such renewed interest was taken in the matter that the carnival advertised is the result. The committee have drawn up a splendid programme, and their efforts to foster this kind of sport should be successful. Outside the usual events, races for youths under 19 and a secondary school boys handicap (220 yds) have been added. A 1£ mile steeplechase also appears on the programme, and is open to any member of any amateur club. We understand that items of boxing and wrestling will also be added to the programme later on.
