Arriving at Capetown recently the steamer West Isleta roported that during tho voyage from Durban heavy Seas smashed somo crates containing wild animals consigned to tho Bronx Zoo, Now York. For ati mo the animals broke loose and wandered about the ship. The live cargo included wildbeesto (horned horses), zebra, waterbuck, and koodoo. Terrified as they wero by tho storm and the rolling of tho ship, the animals became a danger to the crew; but eventually they seemed to be cowed by seasickness, and they were driven back into the crates.
