It js said by ‘some that Mrs. Lawson was locked in her cabin before the men quitted the ship. She took little or no food during the six days that intervened between the mutder of the officers and the abandonment of the ship, although it was offered to her, and she is said to have been subjected to the grossest indignities by the gunner. The boat reached the Java coast about 6 o’clock on the following morning, and the crew landed at a place called Tjilankang, the gunner having ordered his companions to assume fic-. titious names, and to say that they belonged to a Spnnish vessel named the Chypro, which had been wrecked.— The Demang of ‘Ijilankang betore sending them on to the Resident at Bontam, questioned them through the gunner,who spoke the Malay language, and he told this official that the Captain had left the vessel in another boat, and that there were no females on board.

The party immediately opened every the occurrence of the catastrophe Took his friend, McCarthy, into the store, poured brandy on his wound, and some more down his throat, the joint effects of which seemed greatly to revive him.
