THE NIMROD TROUBLE.
Numerous messages relative to the Nimrdd have come through from New Zealand this week, and have duly found publication in all the papers. Considerable surprise w,as expressed when the story of the disagreement between Lieutenant Shackleton and Captain England became known. This was altogether unexpected, in view of what the leader of the expedition had himself written- of Captain England, relative to the stormy "voyage experienced v shortly after leaving New Zealand, viz:—-"Captain England' managed the Nimrod as if she was one of his own hands, so cognisant was he of her every movement." This eulogy of the captain formed a -portion of a long account of the Nimrod's experiences sent by Lieutenant Shackleton to the Mail, covering a period from January 1 to February 19. This was published last Saturday. And then, four-days later comes the news by cabJe" of some alleged disagreement which had occurred between the leaded and the captain, which the latter will neither affirm nor deny. .
