Bradley yesterday espying a floating object in the water about a mile out to sea, put off in bis boat, and found it to be a jetty pile, which had by some means got adrift, probably from Oamaru.

The ground floor rooms are next disclosed, then the cellar in which the assassin secretes himself for a time, and finally the tunnel in which ho subsequently takes refuge. Hero he is seen and captured owing to the electric light reflected from a railway station close by.
