The famous old' yacht Boadicea, which for years 
Mvas the largest sailing yacht, being no less than 378 
tons, has come to an untimely end, and her master is 
jn jail, convicted of casting her away. Known as the 
Ariadne, the Boadicea was lost off the coast of New 
:Zealand. 
The English •ourt of Appeal upheld a judge's order 
.directing evidence on comrtiission to be taken in New 
^Zealand with the object of throwing fresh light, if 
(possible, on the loss of the schooner. It turns out 
(that she was bought for 2,000 guineas and insured for 
.i£20,ooo. The captain, Mumford, confessed to having 
ireceived £400 to cast her away, but on a trial this 
statement was asserted to be an invention, and T. C. 
iKerry, the owner of the Ariadne, was acquitted. On 
Ihis own confession, however, Mumford was sent to 
iprison. Mr. Kerry is now suing the underwriters for 
the insurance money. — Mail and Express.
