Brooks, sou of Mr Brooks, Greytowu, who left Mr Bidwill’s station for this goldfield, writes to say that he left Cambridge Gulf at Christmas not having succeeded in lining his pockets with Kimberley gold. He left the Gulf in a 48 ton schooner for Fort Darwin- The trip lasts on an average 48 hours, and the passengers on this occasion found themselves in food and had to be content with a deck pae. sage. A storm sprang up and drove the ;i«Je bark out to pea, and the discomforts of the deck passengers were enhanoed by the pangs of hunger. There were 70 passengers and so rough was the weather that the hatches could not be opened, and the sails were blown to ribbons. For ten days the allowance was one biscuit a day, and for two days they had no water. When, at last, the vessel got into Fort Darwin twenty of the passengers went into the hospital there and the others were so weak that they could scarcely walk.
