' The Sydney Mornhig Herald -. of ' October 27 says:— Twelve years-, ago, among the South Sea Islands, the captain of a trading schooner, taking advantage of the absence of the owner, who was on shore at one of the islands of the. Hebrides Group, hauled up the -' anchor /.and ' sailed away, leaving his master alone among the savages, where he remajinejd^iß^days. He was rescued by a Frencnwessel; f which took him to Noumea, where he had the mortification of-noticeing in one of the papers the intelligence? >of ■ his ship arriving at Auckland in charge of a captain, with his owjn : name mentioned as the only passenger Immediately on arriving at New Zealand the alleged pirate captain forged the name of 'thije. owner and disposed of the ship and cargo, for a good round sum. Meanwhile the owner had informed the police authorities in the various Colonies, and a warrant was issued for the arrest of the defaulter, but he' eluded capture until a combination ofyefrcurastances resulted in his arrest recently in Sydney. The case is of unusual interest, and in view of the weighty evidence to be called a request for a remand was granted.
