■ Collision with an Icbbbbg. — A photograph of the Bhip Wellington, taken immediately after Bhe arrived at Rio d.

The jib-boom aud all its gear were carried away, and the stump of the boom was driven right into the forecastle, whioh was completely wrecked. Several feet of the ship's bow were smashed in, and a coaoh and four might have been driven through tbe opening left after tho collision. Only otic man wa. killrd, and looking at the amount of damage done it seems miraculous that; thero were no other f atalifciei.
