WRECK OF THE ELLEN.
MADNESS THROUGH DRINKING SALT WATER. Press Association.— Telegraph.—Copyright. Sydney, July 25. Three of the seamen belonging to the barque Ellen-went mad within three days through drinking salt water. Their meat lasted till the 20th, and a little rain-water was caught, but it was brackish owing to the spray which came on board. The signalman at the Seal Rocks lighthouse endeavoured to signal the men not to land owing to the surf, but could not make them understand. >■ .
