That the limit of speed at wkich a (mall eiaft can be driven through the water has not yet been reachtd is ihown in the recent performance of the Tbornycroft torpedo gunboat Daring. That vessel has wt the pace at -"Jj knot*, and marine engineers are now confident that *veti thi* clipping Bait will be excelled by com* later vessel of the Daring'* type. The record just established by thi* ma- rine Nancy H&uks .* unapproached by any- thing that is now aAoal. It wa* naared by Up* progressively diminishing. The Ha. Tock, which was among the tint vessels of thi* class, was expected to distinguish her- sell in the way of speed, and she did. She came panting back from * race over the measured course, and bearing with her what was then the record, 'M knou per hour. Tho Havock's triumph was shortlived. Before her builders, the Mesars. Yarrow, had time to forget the congratulations they had received, the Ferret, built by the Messrs. Laird, came along and ULirSED THE HAVOCK's (PEED. A short time afterward the Hornet, a si*- ter veswl to toe Havock, carried the Yar- row fiag to the fore again, with the record of 28 knou an hour. The Hornet sported her blue ribbon until the Daring rcshed ever the course at the rate of 2'.>t knj'.s per hour, when *he had to surrender her j promise* bard-earned distinction of being the fastest I craft of her kind. In the official report of the Daring', matchless performance it is stated that th* T e*s*l was blowing off steam at different penods of the run. This would tuggeet that her water-tube boilers, in generating steam faster than the engines could ute it, have a reserve of power that her builders may yet rind a way of applying. VI M far a* speed was concerned. In 1*82 < .ermacy launch*! the Blitz, which, with a tonnage of 1,3*0, attained a spesd of Itf knou per hour. The (iriet, which came next, had a speed of 23 knou. Then France enured the list* with th* Condor, which was launched in IS^.l. With a tonnag* ot !40, that T**wl attained a speed of IT. t knou. England, conservative, as of old, wa* the last to adopt the type. Her navy officer* finally law th* value of the craft, aad th* vessels of the Scout class war* authorized. These vessel* were overweighted with arm- ament, rolled heavily in a seaway, and did uot have the manu-uvr.ng qualities desired. France again took the lead in 1886. and, in the Bombs class, designed vessels of a more suitable type. The Leviers, subse- quently constructed, were an advance on anything that had been built, and the fas- followed, eclipsed their lead of France, all the sina riaes, which predeceeeors. Following the maritime nation* of Kurope commenced to build torpedo-boat destroyer*. England began the construction of the Sharpshooter clae*. but the typo was not wholly satis- factory. Italy frittered away considerable time an.i spent a deal of money to ducover that vessel* of her Tripoli type were too light in construction to be of much use, and then larger and stronger vessel* were order- ed.

Awful tale* of suffering and di* treat, of starvation and death, amongst the remnant of the Indian tribes of Labrador have been received by a letter from a Quebec trader, who ha* sailed down th* coast of the gulf of St. Lawrence to Mingan, on the Labrador coast, one of the headquarters of the Indian hunters when they leave the woods to dis- pow of the result of their winter's hunt and to obtain supplies for another season. Early last month when the Quebec trader deepatched the letter from Mingan there had jut returned to that place seven fami- lies of Moatagnai*, or mountaineer*, who left a year ago for the northern shore* of Hudson bay, th* country of th* interesting bat rapidly dwindling Waakonapi tribe.
