OVERBOARD AND BACK.
AUSTRALIAN'S LUCKY ESCAPE. LONDON, May 10. Captain . Ojst, of the four-masted barque Archibald Russell, says that five days after the vessel sailed from Wallaroo (S.A.) a stowaway, John Lee, an Englishman, was discovered. He was hammering at a hatch, which was being chained down in readiness for an approaching gale in the Tasman Sea, in which the ship lost some sails and three lifeboats. The vessel rounded the Horn in fair weather. A storm near the Falkland Islands tore eight sails to shreds in 1? minutes, and injured four of the crew, including Lee. It washed an Australian overboard, but he was washed back by the next sea.
