Tbs ship wa* the Trafalgar. Capt. Edgar died at Batavta. and the chief officer took command. Three of the crew deserted. Next the seeoml officer thrtihed one of the crew and wa* orn polled to lock himself in hi* cabin for safety till, tearful that the seamen would carry their threat into effeot to "throw hi* car, -is* overboard to the sharks," he asked for and wa* reluctantly granted hi* dis- charge. Soon after leaving Batavia one of tb* A. B's. died. Capt. Roliort* wa* the next victim. Mr. Samuel Norwood, now fiist officer designate, was competed to lay up about the same tian*. He wa* almost pros. tratcd by fever, aad beyond making an occasional entry in the log book b* was uuabie either to take hi* watek or to assist la directing the ihip on her oonra*. He al*o died six days later, and jutt before him went Joseph Full, the ship's carpenter. Capt.

(Joe of the seamen wa* transferred to the poop deck, merely for the purpose of taking watch occasionally. His knowledge o( navigation wa* of th* mo*t rudimentary obaracttr, and the task of sailing the ship to MelDourne saemtd hopelaai, bat Mr. ShoUen never lost heart. Fortunately the winds experienced were Dot ot very contiderabi* ferae. While there were no prospects of a hard blow, Mr. Shotten ciapped on as muoh sail a* could indoo* his inert, somewhat refractor- ily inclined orew to iprsad to the favoring brvrxea. In th* Indiaa Ocean Daniel Sneehan, the cook, took sick and died. Ms wa* theiixluand last victim of the paaug*. Mr. Shult*n men attempted to induce the crew to clean and overhaul the ship and (*i her in good condition by the tune *h* reached her destination. All hi* efforts were of no avail. Beyond assisting to sail the ship they would not lend a hand to do more than waa absolutely neceeiary te suur* th* *af* passage of th* v***el to port. A day or two after passing Cap* Lesuwin famous cap* of storms the Trafalgar wa* overtaken by gal*, start- ing .roin Hi* uorthwett and selling in the west.

INBTA.NCM Or Wi.MBN SAILING Mllir*. It i* not often that a ibip ha* been in obarge of a woman. Th* wife of the Cap- tain of the Jefferson Kurd u took her buabaud'i watch occasionally when the vessel wa* snort handed after the mutiny and murder of the officer*. In I860 the hip Denmark was brought into port by ths Captain's wit*, th* Captain himself being laid up and incapable of doiug anything except givva,ivir*. Another striking lllu*- tratiou of woman i capaliliinei in the ssa faring line is afforded by the case of th* bark Rebecca Crowell, which left New York for buenos Ayres, bu'. became dis- abled during a sever* gala three dayl after leaving. Saveral of in* spar* and seilt wsr* carried away, ami tha Captain and first mate war* injured to inch an extent that they were confined to their berth* th* rest of th* voyag* snd rendered until to manage the votes). 1 her* was no othsr person on board who understood navigation except th* Csptain't wiie, and si, a undertook the task of oon ducting the bark to i he point of dmiuatioa.

The Cap'am't wife, tm-refore, s*umed navigating the the captain and mat* wore disabled from working. Bat vary few sailsn know anything more than their own work. A t*rnbl* itory ef a erew left destitute or helpless by th* lee* of the officers was reportsd early last year. The >asiiBt *e**vrred *a a Liverpool bark, the Montgomery Castle.

A blackboard was held op by two mmi on her poop, on which was written in white chalk . " W* have lost our Captain, two mate* and fiv* tailors no compass and no navigator." Ibe Vega lauuohed a boat and ths mate and two hands went in her. They found only eight man on board, most of whom were incapable of work through being in- jured. Tb* itory told was that the matter the first and second male*, tha carpenter, and four seamen had boeo washed over- board and were drowned, and that oue of the remaining erew had hi* leg broken, that several ethera ware injured, that some ol the sails and all of the boat* were lost, that .-ill the compasses (except a small OD* which WMout ol order! were destroyed, that th* itarboard light wa* deslroyed, that th* oabiB* were Jail of water, and tke contents (inoluding medicine chett, charts, *nd nautical instruments) were washe.i away er destroyed, that Uie pumps were out of orn>r, that th* vesse, bad inetean inches of water in hsr, that theie M no one on hoard to navigate the ihip, lat they were entirely ignorant of their Minion, that in consequence of their ajuria* the survivor* of the crew could not rim th- yardt, and that at night they thai Kmselve* up in trie forecMtle and left i snip to herself.

The doctor styles nis machine a velooipede, on account of it* softness and mode of locomo- tion. It ha* been adopted by the great hoepital* and also by Ihe Sanitary Com- miMinners of the German capital. Th* latter tuperintend "station" in every part of th* oily wher* victim* of accidents receive preliminary treatment at the hands of physicians. A velocipede ambulanoe i* attached to every one of tb* stations, and experience proves it to b* far superior to the ordiuary IIOIM ambulance heretofore need. Its construction is M follows : A litter without shaft*, support*.! by three wheel* with mbb*r tires, one in front and two behind, the whole being propelled and driven by BICTCLES FO&IANDAIT. The occupant of th* first direct* the vehicle and rings ihs bell to warn other wheelmen and vehicles. The man aft follows suit. Th* machine move* very swiftly, and up to data not a single accident has beeu recorded. The litter has a detachable cover ol white duck, with window* at tb* sides. It is well ventilated aad at night is lit by electricity. If the person transport*! wants to attract th* attention of th* bicyclists he rings an electric bell. The litter oan be taken oil the wheel* and earned into the houie or to the spot where the sick person awaits it. Although the Kmperoi n opposed te th* bicycle in th* army, h* is very favorably inclined towards the velocipede ambulince, which has proved an imrntuM IUCCMS, especially a* it oan be taken to plao** which would not admit th* paseag* of a wagon. At th* fall mamruvre* th* ambulanoe veloctperi* will be tried. The ambulance physician usually rides on the wheel behind, the leader being an athUtio young man capable of bearing the burden of th* transport, Twenty or more year* before Queen Victoria ascended th* throne of Kngland, there was shown in London an odd tsmily cycle built for more than tl.e familiar " two," a regular family affair.
