Terrible Soene on a Vessel's Deek'
Further particulars of tine murders of the
captain and owner of the labour schooner
Constantino in the New Hebrides show that
a terrible encounter oecur'red on the vessel's
deck, during which four of the crew were
shot dead. Ae0ordi1141 to the information,
it seems that the Constantino was taking a
number of natives bath to their homes, but
the wind being adverse, some of then could
not 6e landed at their own islands. This
seemed to exasperate 4110111, and nee of the
natives incited the ethers to mutiny. The
owner of the vessel -Mr. Edward Pasnin, a
British subject -seeing that 4,oaoheny was
brewing, made an attempt to teach his
cabin to get hie Winchester rifle, but ho had
only got a few yard4 when ho wa8 81101 dead
by the ringleaders of the mutineers. Cap-
tain Jnmace, getting his revolver, made a
bold 01'1,11 to save his life, but, being anti-
cipated by the natives, he, too, was shot
dead. Two native boys were also stmt
dead, A fifth man w0.8 also shot, and then
the mutineers took dlarg0 of the vessel. The
bodies of the murdered m011, whtoh wet(
lying on the deck, were thrown overboard,
and then commenced the looting of the
vessel. After plundering the Draft, the
murderers took two of the ship's boats, and
one party landed eta the island of Pentecost
and the remainder at Aoba. The Constan-
tino with her sells set, was allowed to drift
wherever the winds and current 0otil41 take
her, and mho finally became stranded on a
reef at Malice, where she was found by the
missionary steamer Southern Cross. The
Constantine had then a hole in her, and was
practically it wreck. Tho missionaries found
on board a diary, which had been written
up to about tete date of the massacre.

A correspondent writing from Callao states
that an hito'esting presentation had just
taken place there on board her Majesty's
cruiser Garnet, Captai'i Harry F. H,hghes-
11'atlett, one of the ships serving on the Pa-
cific station. The ship was visited by the
Prefect of the Peuviu00, aecompanierl by
Mr, R'ilsnn, the British Consul, for the pur-
pose of placing in the hands of the captain
a gold medal which the Peruvian Govern -
melt had ordered to bo presented to the crow
of the Garnet as a token of gratitude for,
and in recognition of, their splendid bravely
at the great fires in Callao on the 18th and
22d August last. In slaking the presenta-
tion, the Prefect said the supremo Govern-
ment desired thus to give expression to
"the prof0uod and imperishable sentiment
of gratitndo that has been awakenod in its

they 0xerelsod with vigorous courage and at

already frightful proportion of those mem-
orable disasters, ' He added that his Gov
eminent, as well 08 the people of the conn -
try, would ever cherish the most sincere
gratitude for the generous and noble nom
duct of the crow of the Garnet. Captain
Hughes -Hallett, in excepting the gift, said
he was sure that what tho crew did on the
occasion of rho fires they regarded only as a'
duty, and they would bo Toady and willing

A competition in long distance marching
is being generally discussed by lloltreais
military force, and the following artiele in
The Canadian Military Gazette will be in-
teresting reading to all of our volunteers:
"There is no reason why a competition in
this line should not be arranged to take place
noxillayineaohofour larger cities. r]Ontreal
las aux battalion0 that could furnish stiong
teams, Toronto four and Halifax four. Pro-
vided the imperial regiment thea on the stn.
tion would compete in each of these centres,
most Interesting competitions could beheld.
It would be quite unnecessary to go in for the
long distance which our brothers in England
have in some muses seen fit to undertake, bet
a march of 11 or 20 miles would bo ample to
test the marching ability of the boob men in
our 00rvice, Such It competition, with an
annual series of military games, could not
fail to do good to the foroes. It would draw
11111011 attention from outsiders and help to
bring in a good class of recruits. There is
also no reason why a military tournament
on the 111100 of that held in London should
not be made a yearly foatore of military life
here, and hold alternately in Montreal and
Toronto, as the two mdse central points. It
oonld bo devoted to practical military ath. ,
letics and might extend over several days.
If well handled it would undoubtedly do
muollgood to all concerned and should prove
et decided "hit" fina0oially and otherwise.
At present we merely make the suggestion
and tisic the espooial attention of officers 0
our permanent corps to the subject."
