Among other matters of interest, like other arrivals in the South Seas, he had a wreck to announce. The John T. Richards, it appeared, had met the fate of other island schooners."Dickinson piled her up on Palmerston Island," Dodd announced."Who were the owners?" inquired one of the clubmen."O, the usual parties!" returned Loudon, "Capsicum and Co."A smile and a glance of intelligence went round the group; and perhaps Loudon gave voice to the general sentiment by remarking--...
