The Hong Kong newspapers contain detail of one of the most remarkable voyages ever made by a shipwrecked crew in an open boat. The boatâ€" swain and six men of the British ship "Flora P. Stafford," without a compass, and navigating entirely by stars, after thirtyâ€"four days reached Manilla. The ‘‘Stafford" was burned at sea early in June, while on the way from Newcastle, N.S.W., to Manilla. The ship was then 225 miles off the Philippines. Three boats were lowered and provisioned, but of these only the captain‘s boat with five men had any good instruments. The boats were soon separated by a storm. The first mate‘s boat has not been heard from. â€" The captain reached Manilla all right. The boatswain and his six men made amast out of a piece of step ladâ€" der, a sail from a blanket, and an oar served forarudder. In this way they sailed under the tropical sun for thirtyâ€" four days, constantly wet from â€"the heavy seas and rains. Food was scarce and the water verly' unw holesome, yet none of the men fell i1 till they reached Manilla, when tiwo had to be placed in a hospital. It was a miracle that the boat ever reached land, for she shipped many hbeavy seas and had to be baled out constantly. a full set of legs, Stone piles and ditches are not obstacles to himâ€"he frisks over them, tail high in the air, using his fore leg on the principle of a jumping pole. He bas been much fitted and follows the members of the eDaniels family about like a dog. At the tender age of four weeks Ben left his mother and went with his master on a jaunt about the surroundâ€" ing country, attracting considerable atâ€" tention and earning considerably more than his liv'mg expenses, thanks to the willingness of people to pay to see freaks. He bas not missed a meal in his life, and is unusually strang and healthy. The calf weighs 250 pounds, and can run and play as lively as any calf with He Has Only One Front Leg, and Falls Down When He Butts Anything. This is a threeâ€"legged ‘freak calf,born in a Pennsylvania town, with the freak name Shickshinny, Shickshinnites have felt for many years that they had someâ€" thing out of the ordinary coming to them. They feel now that it has come. The triped belongs to S. C. McDaniels. Five months ago his faithful family cow presented him ‘with Ben. Ben is the name of the calf that has become famâ€" ous for being not like other calves. His right leg is entirely missing. Both hind legs are perfectly formed and placed. His left fore leg is also just as perfect as ani calf‘s, but it is almost in the middle of his body. All the ribs are naturally formed, reaching all the way to the neck. There is not even the trace of a shovlder blade on the right side. which may lead to international comâ€" plications of a serious nature. After the bombardment of the palace of Zanâ€" zibar by the British gunboats Sparâ€" row, Thrush, and Racoon, Seyyid Khaâ€" lid, who had proclaimed himself Sultan on August 25, sought refuge at the German Consulate. The situation took a new turn on Friday morning. _ An unusually high tide prevailed, and while it was touching the wall of the German Consulate Khalid was placed on board the German cruiser, Seeadler, for conâ€" veyance, it is believed to one of Lhe German colonies. The British Consul here, Mr. Basil Cave, in charge of the British Agency during the absence of Mr. A. H. Hardinge. the British Agent and Consulâ€"General, was mot notified of the removal of Khalid to the German warship until after the usurper was safe on board the Seead> er. But, so soon as he became aware of the action of the German authorâ€" ities Mr. Cave lodged a vigorous proâ€" test at the German Consulate against the embarkment of Khalid on the Seeâ€" adler, especially pointing out that the question of his surrender to British authorities was still under discussion by the Governments of Great Britain and Germany. â€" Later Mr. Cave cabled a report of the circumstances to his Govâ€" ernment, and is now awaiting instrucâ€" tions from London. Viewed in the most conservative light, the incident is reâ€" garded as being an act of stupid disâ€" courtesy upon the part of the German representative towards the representaâ€" tives of Great Britain, and it can hardâ€" ly fail to call for serious diplomatic reâ€" presentations.
