THE SAILORS' HOME AND A SHIPWRECKED FIREMAN.
(To the Editor.) Sffi,—Homeless and friendless there landed from the s.s. TeKnpo, 1. McDonald, a fire nian from the wrecked steamer Elginshire, lie having worked his passage from the Spnth in the s.s. Te Kapo. After walking the streets two nights and a day, he ap plied to me for assistance. I thought it b%st to send him to the Sailors' Home, in forming him of the legacy left byMrCostley. On being refused admittance, nob being able to see me, he had another nighb oat, and came bo me again. I then gave him a letter to the Rev. Mr Nelson, hoping by this thab Bishop Covvie mighb become acquainbed with bheir usual prac tice, that gentleman, many believe, being the true custodian of the legacy, notwith standing any after arrangement. By Mr Nelson's instrumentality he was received in the Home, obtained two mealß, bub was expelled ab half-past 8 o'clock on Monday night, homeless and penniless. The man Ecan vouch for, as being perfectly sober, clean and respectable, but through the wreck is withoub clothing. My object in writing is to bring this under the notice of the Committee of the Home, and prevent farther abuses of this noble legacy.—l am, etc., H. Phillips.
