B., to-day, reports that on the 26th of August, William Pine, second mate, was standing on the house aft when he was struck by the main boom and knocked overboard. Planks and casks were immediately thrown over, and every effort made to save poor Pine; but as a heavy gale was in progress at the time, and the vessel was driving wso rapidly before it, that this was found to beimpossible. Pine was a capital swimmer, and for a few minutes could plainly be discerned swimming breast high out of the waves, in the wrake of the vessel, but at length disa ; and it is thought that he fell a victim toa shark, as very shortly after the occurrence two immense sharks sailed right up to the side of the ves- sel. ‘The first mate, who was on the top of the house at the time, had a very nar- row escape, as he too was struck by the boom, but managed to lay hold of the gaff as he was

IS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost. the advantages of a comfortable and pleasant home together with a thorough and refined education.

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given in a large establish. ment.

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.

Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses.

Xeferences given to parents of pupils.
