I remember when I first came out to the Atlas District, the fact that the library was still functioning made me happy. Now it's closed, abandoned, beginning to be covered in graffiti that masks the whimsical designs. I can only imagine what will end up there instead. If the rest of H St is any indication, a hipster lounge or another coffeeshop is on the docket.
(of course, I mock but I do love me some independent coffeeshop)

Trying to get organized so I don't feel quite so overwhelmed. This side had the brainstorming list of things I've been trying to remember to do and the other side organized them by what I need to get done this week and what is on the docket for later.
I never knew Brendan Scanlon, but over the last few months I’ve met his parents, a few of his friends, and I’ve known the art of SOLVE from around the city for quite a while. I’ll never know the pain and sorrow felt by those people over the senseless acts that took Brendan from our midst, but coming to care about those I’ve met quite strongly, and reading more about the incident in the newspaper (since the trial of his alleged murderer has once again made it to the docket after numerous postponements and delays) I was totally moved when I visited the alley where it happened. I knew there were a few pieces of art there made in memory of Brendan, but they really moved me when I stood with them. Admittedly, writing this and posting photos feels a little exploitative since I wasn’t directly affected when the incident occurred, but I started thinking today about the ways I (and perhaps you) have felt an impact; from my new friends’ sorrow and dismay over having to revisit the events as the trial reengages to our city’s void of SOLVE’s art—something I wish dearly I could’ve seen more of--and that he would’ve been around as I became more involved in documenting Chicago’s street art scene and got to meet some really great people along the way. I knew others had lost that night, but until today I didn’t really realize how much we were all missing. I don’t imagine I can be of much comfort to the great people I've met who had Brendan ripped out of their lives, but I’m going to work my ass off to document of as much of his work as I can find. Rest in Peace, Brendan.

THE FIRE IN GREY-ST.
INQUEST ON THE CHINESE VICTIMS
An inquest was held this morning at Gleeson's Hotel to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the death of William Wah (cook) and Sing Hung (market gardener) who were accidentally burned at the laundry of Sam Kee in Grey-street, early on Friday morning. Dr. Philson (Coroner) look the evidence and Mr T. Quoi acted as interpreter. Constable Oliphant represented the police and Mr Ah Kew was present on behalf of his fellow countrymen. Mr James Collet was chosen foreman of the jury.
Sam Kee, who was sworn in the Chinese fashion, deposed, through Mr Quoi, that he was a laundryman and lived at the laundry destroyed by fire. He identified the bodies as those of William Wah and Sing Hung, and said they were natives of China. They lived in the laundry with witness and he last saw them alive at Ihe laundry at 11 p.m. on Thursday. At this time witness said both men were sober and they had not been smoking opium. Wah was 58 years of age and Hung 41. Deceased had no supper before going to bed. The house was 2 storeys and was lighted by gas only in the lower storey. Deceased slept in seperate rooms upstairs, but another man named Gee Tai slept in Wah's room. Witness slrpt in Hung's room. When they went to bed each had one sperm candle. Witness put out Wah's candle, but he was not sure if Hung's wick was extinguished. The candles stood on a table, and witness was soon asleep. He was awakened two or three hours afterwards by hearing a crackling noise below the stairs, and on getting up saw flame on the stairs. He gave the alarm and roused Hung up. He also called out to Wah, who got up. Witness did not go into the room, He then jumped out by a back window into the yard, some 20 feet below. He saw Gee Tai come out of a front window on to the verandah but he saw no other persons. At this time the Fire Brigade had not arrived. He saw the Fire Brigade afterwards endeavouring to put the fire out. Witness said the washing place was at the rear, where the boiler was located. It was in use on the day previous to the fire, Gee Tai put it out at 3 p.m. on Thursday. There was a charcoal stove at the back of the ironing room, he saw the fire there on Thursday put out. Witness believed the fire originated in the lower storey, but he could not say in which room.
The Foreman: This appears to be another case like the fire at the D.S.C. The Fire Brigade were not quick enough.
Constable Oliphant: I have a constable here to say that the Fire Brigade were present five minutes after the alarm was given. The fire was burning some time before the alarm was given.
Gee Tai, laundryman, who slept, on the premises, said the fire broke out in the lower storey. He did not know how the fire began.
To a Juryman: The windows of the house lifted, but there were no sash cords.
Constable R. Lanigan in his evidence said he was at the fire at 3.25 a.m. on Friday with Constable McDonald. At this time the fire had a good hold. It was mostly in Ihe back of the building. Only the inmates of the adjoining shop were then about. It was impossible to enter the building, but witness went into a right-of-way on the left of the laundry. Witness thought the fire originated in the second (drying) room on the ground floor, there were three rooms on the ground floor. The Fire Brigade arrived at the fire about the same time, as witness. He thought the Brigade were late in getting the alarm, but they succeeded in saving the adjoining building. The fire travelled very quickly. After the fire was extinguished witness found the remains of Wah face downwards in the front room upstairs facing the street. Wah was evidently more suffocated than burned. Sing Hung's body witness found in an adjoining room. The body was completely charred.
The Coroner said no evidence had been put before the jury to show how the fire originated. It would be best to return an open verdict.
The jury then returned a verdict 'That the deceased came to their death through burning, but their was no evidence to show how the fire originated.'
Mr Quoi then made a statement to the jury that gunpowder had been wrapped up and lighted and thrown into the shop by larrikins. The Chinese had been frequently annoyed in this way.
The funeral of the two Chinese leaves Mr Little's premises to-morrow afternoon.

CHINESE RESURRECTIONISTS AT WAIKUMETE.
DISINTERMENT OF CORPSES.
A GRUESOME SPECTACLE.
Time, 5.30 a.m., on a bitterly cold morning, in Waikumete Cemetery. Half-frozen, a pressman and a photographer attached to the staff of the "Graphic" make their way from the sexton's house to the furthermost corner of the cemetery, where is situated the section for Chinese and Atheists and aliens unprovided for elsewhere. A noise of hammering comes from the section, which is a good half-mile from the Anglican and Presbyterian allotments, and on arrival work found to be in full operation. The reception of our reporter and his photographic confrere is the reverse of friendly, and an immediate wrangle ensues amongst the gravediggers, evidently on the subject of the camera fiend's presence. A Chinese halfcaste European insists on their instant ejectment. The sexton, however, who has been handed proper credentials, proves a firm friend, and insists that he, and not any Chinaman, or half-caste Chinaman, is in change of the cemetery, and that he has his instructions. Things then calm down a trifle, but the work is resumed amidst much grumbling, and many vindictive and malignant glances are cast at the camera, and muttered curses uttered at the photographer as he dodges round looking for a chance shot. Once, indeed, when the shutter clicks, a furious celestial raises his pick in menace, and mutters a threat to do for the intruders, but he thinks better of it, and at the intervention of the European coffinmaker a truce is declared until arrival of "the boss." That individual presently arrives. He scans the permit; gloomily enough, and bids that the photos be taken forthwith, and the photographer and pressman depart. It being pointed out that there is no picture yet to take, and seeing that bluff has no effect, all active opposition as at once and finally dropped, and no difficulty put in the way of obtaining pictures or witnessing the proceedings save in giving mendacious information, lighting fires to obscure the graves with smoke, and endeavouring to tire out the patience of the reporters, etc.
By ten o'clock four graves, are opened, but owing to the non-arrival of some solder and zinc from Auckland it, is decided to open only two coffins on this occasion. The first of these contained the corpse of one Kong Shang, who died in 1891, a young Celestial of 36. It was thought that there would be nothing but dry bones there, but the stiff white clay is evidently a preservative, for when the coffin, which is full of water, is opened, it is seen that the bones have a decided covering of what had once been flesh and though drenched in carbolic acid a sickening odour makes itself felt at intervals. Directly an attempt is made to stir the body it all falls to pieces, the decomposed flesh falling off in almost imperceptible flakes, which had doubtless been dust had the grave been dry. Very carefully the impassive Chinaman in the grave rinses and unconcernedly places on a sieve a thigh bone, then some ribs, and a skull, followed by the rest of the bones, minute search, indescribable in print, being made for the smaller bones and joints. It is an intensely gruesome spectacle, and the horror is added to by the indifference to sight and smell or sentiment evinced by the Celestial workmen. The venerable clerk, a fine old fellow, with the face of an ascetic and a student, carefully tallies the bones which, having been rescoured in a large white tub, are finally dried and wrapped up, each duly docketed by the methodical old gentleman, who is evidently a most conscientious and probably deeply religious man. He, too, is fastidiously clean, and does not, one notes, eat as the others do in the midst of their noisome labours. The next body is that of a man who must have been of exceptional stature and weight for a Chinaman, and who has been dead but two years and a-half. There is much difficulty in getting this coffin to the surface, and the opening thereof, and the awful stench which completely dominated all disinfectants when the body was removed to the zinc one prepared by the European tinsmith beggars description, and may be left to the imagination. None of those whose duty called them to be present are likely to forget the experience, or to desire a renewal of the same. The soldering having been completed, it must be admitted no effluvia was discernable. The zinc coffin was then put in a rude case and packed in sawdust ready for shipment. There is no reason to think the zinc coffins will not prove effective and inoffensive under ordinary ciroumstances, and careful usage, but a fall or any accident in loading would, one imagines, have very disastrous effects. The work ceased at noon to-day. Mr Winstanley, Government Sanitary Inspector, is present, and looks after his work in so thorough a manner that no fears need be entertained by settlers or the general public. The pictures secured by the "Graphic" protographer are of a unique nature and the most gruesome details having been omitted, are quite without offence. They will be published on Wednesday.
The custom of the Chinese at home is to disinter bodies after seven years, and place the main bones in a large jar alongside the grave. It is in order to forward the bones to China for relatives to do this that the present exporting of remains is undertaken.

THE CHINESE CORPSES
The disinterment of the bodies of the Chinese from cemeteries throughout the colony during last, and the early part of the present month excited a good deal of interest. In Greymouth nearly 200 bodies were "resurrected" and stored in a shed in the cemetery, much to the disgust of the residents, who unsuccessfully protested against the bodies being allowed to remain above ground until the arrival of the Ventnor. The expenses of the removal of the dead Chinese to their native land, where alone their spirits could find perfect peace, was borne by their friends, the undertaking being so costly that, only the wealthier relatives could afford the expenditure, many hundreds of unhappy Celestials being obliged "to lie in cold corruption and to rot" in the cemeteries of the "foreign devil."
The exhumation of all the bodies was carried out by the one party of "resurrectionists," Chinese with a half-caste leader and a European plumber. The Chinamen carried out their gruesome work with the utmost indifference, knocking off to eat their meals immediately after handling the bodies without a thought of nauseation.
Some bodies had been interred about twenty years ago, others within the last year. In the case of those which had been reduced to skeletons the bones were carefully sorted, and packed in boxes ready for shipment. In other cases the flesh had reached an advanced stage of putrefaction, and in these the bones were stripped and similarly, treated to the skeletons of older bodies. When the bodies were still whole they were packed in air-tight coffins, soldered down, and labelled with the name of the departed.
In all eleven corpses were taken from their graves at Waikumete. These were not shipped on the Ventnor at Auckland, but were taken down the coast in smaller vessels to Wellington, and there transhipped to the Ventnor.
The Chinese in Auckland were excited on the receipt of the news of the foundering, but when questioned as to what, according to Confucianism, would become of the spirits of the sunken Celestials, they professed ignorance.

LOSS OF THE VENTNOR.
FOUNDERED NEAR HOKIANGA.
BOAT AND CREW MISSING.
HOKIANGA, October 29.
The steamer Ventnor, which left Wellington for Hongkong on Sunday, foundered off the Hokianga Bar last night at about a quarter to nine.
The Ventnor left Wellington, as stated, on Sunday, with 500 Chinese bodies and 6400 tons of coal. She was owned by Gow, Harrison and Co., of Glasgow, her port of register, and was captained by H. G. Ferry. Before she had been long out, at forty minutes after midnight on Sunday, a shock which shook the vessel from stem to stern made manifest to everyone aboard that the steamer had struck a rock, a subsequent investigation showing that the reef hit was to the southward of Cape Egmont.
The engines were at once reversed, and in a short time the vessel managed to get off. The wells were then sounded, and it was found that the vessel was making water in No. 1 hold.
The vessel was headed off shore to a safe distance, and then proceeded up the coast.
Meanwhile, the steam pumps were got to work, but from the first it was found that they were unequal to the task of coping with the inflow, and gradually the water gained, rising higher and higher in the hold.
On Tuesday morning it was found that the ballast tanks in the peak were full, putting the steamer down by the head, and making it evident that she had but a short time to float.
In the evening her bow was so far under water that she became unmanageable, and it was seen that she was gradually sinking, despite every effort that could be made.
At about 9 p.m. it became evident that the vessel was going down fast, and all hands were ordered to the boats.
These were launched by their respective crews, who immediately pulled away from the sides of the doomed vessel.
Hardly had they reached a safe distance when the vessel's stern rose in the air, and she sank, bow first.
The Hokianga Heads light was seen at a distance of about ten miles, and the boats pulled in the direction of the light.
At daylight this morning two boats arrived on the Omapere Beach, bearing fourteen of the crew, including the chief mate, John Cameron, the second and third engineers, D. Bailee and K. Muir, and two cooks, and a messman.
Mr Martin, harbourmaster, has taken the small steamer Energy out off Whangape to pick up two more boats which were sighted from the pilot station. One of these was picked up at 10 o'clock, but the other had not been reached at the time of wiring, 10.30 a.m.
Besides her crew of 31 persons, including five Chinese, the Ventnor had six Chinamen as passengers. Of the coffins 489 were insured in the Alliance Company for £5490. The fungus was insured for about £320 in various offices. She was under the charge of Captain H. Ferry, who has been seventeen years in the employment of the same company. The steamer was under charter to W. Scott Fell and Co., of Sydney, contractors. Messrs John Mill and Co., of Dunedin and Wellington, were the colonial agents.
Of the coffins 489 were shipped by the Chong Shin Tong Society, which is a branch of the big society in China called the Tai Chuen. The other ten coffins were shipped by Yei Chong, of Manners-street, and did not belong to any society.
The Ventnor's crew numbered thirty-one, and those on board included nine Chinese body attendants. These attendants of the dead are old and decrepit Chinamen, who are being sent home to China by the Chong Shin Tong, and given sufficient money to keep them from work for the remainder of their lives.

Now if I can only quilt it the way I am thinking of it in my mind.

This will be on the docket for tomorrow!!
On Saturday week a Chinaman named Li Char, a middle-aged man, came to Dr. King, accompanied by some other Chinamen. It appears that he had been ailing for a fortnight previous to that date, and had got increasingly unwell, and complained of pains in the back of his neck, and moved about in a decrepit manner. On Tuesday Dr. King visited Li Char, who resided in Wakefield-street, and recommended that he be removed to the District Hospital, but the other Chinamen, the man's friends, were averse to this. Dr. King again saw him on Thursday night, when the patient was very ill, but the Chinese were still averse to his removal to the hospital. On Friday Dr. King had to go to the Wade, so that he did not see him again before his death, which occurred on Friday night. The police, in the absence of Dr. King, and of any knowledge that the case had been diagnosed with certainty, made inquiries with a view to see if it were necessary to hold an inquest. Subsequently the coroner, it is stated, desired Dr. Bedford, chairman of the hospital staff, to make a post-mortem on the body, but that gentleman declined. Utimately the mortem was made on Saturday by Dr. Girdle, in the presence of Drs. Mason and Baldwin (Sanitary Commissoners). Dr. Sharman (health officer of the port of Auckland), Dr. Bedford, and Dr. King (city health officer). The result of the postmortem showed that the deceased had died from an abscess on the brain. As a consequence there was no inquest. Dr. King from the history of the case and the symptoms, was prepared, it is said, to give a certificate of the cause of death. The funeral of Li Char took place yesterday, the interment being at Waikumete. The Chinese had a hearse, and there were seven carriages containing friends and acquaintances of deceased. It was conducted in Chinese fashion. Deceased had been a gardener, but latterly had resided in Wakefield-street.

BOAT AND CREW MISSING.
HOKIANGA, October 29.
The steamer Ventnor, which left Wellington for Hongkong on Sunday, foundered off the Hokianga Bar last night at about a quarter to nine.
The Ventnor left Wellington, as stated, on Sunday, with 500 Chinese bodies and 6400 tons of coal. She was owned by Gow, Harrison and Co., of Glasgow, her port of register, and was captained by H. G. Ferry. Before she had been long out, at forty minutes after midnight on Sunday, a shock which shook the vessel from stem to stern made manifest to everyone aboard that the steamer had struck a rock, a subsequent investigation showing that the reef hit was to the southward of Cape Egmont.
The engines were at once reversed, and in a short time the vessel managed to get off. The wells were then sounded, and it was found that the vessel was making water in No. 1 hold.
The vessel was headed off shore to a safe distance, and then proceeded up the coast.
Meanwhile, the steam pumps were got to work, but from the first it was found that they were unequal to the task of coping with the inflow, and gradually the water gained, rising higher and higher in the hold.
On Tuesday morning it was found that the ballast tanks in the peak were full, putting the steamer down by the head, and making it evident that she had but a short time to float.
In the evening her bow was so far under water that she became unmanageable, and it was seen that she was gradually sinking, despite every effort that could be made.
At about 9 p.m. it became evident that the vessel was going down fast, and all hands were ordered to the boats.
These were launched by their respective crews, who immediately pulled away from the sides of the doomed vessel.
Hardly had they reached a safe distance when the vessel's stern rose in the air, and she sank, bow first.
The Hokianga Heads light was seen at a distance of about ten miles, and the boats pulled in the direction of the light.
At daylight this morning two boats arrived on the Omapere Beach, bearing fourteen of the crew, including the chief mate, John Cameron, the second and third engineers, D. Bailee and K. Muir, and two cooks, and a messman.
Mr Martin, harbourmaster, has taken the small steamer Energy out off Whangape to pick up two more boats which were sighted from the pilot station. One of these was picked up at 10 o'clock, but the other had not been reached at the time of wiring, 10.30 a.m.
Besides her crew of 31 persons, including five Chinese, the Ventnor had six Chinamen as passengers. Of the coffins 489 were insured in the Alliance Company for £5490. The fungus was insured for about £320 in various offices. She was under the charge of Captain H. Ferry, who has been seventeen years in the employment of the same company. The steamer was under charter to W. Scott Fell and Co., of Sydney, contractors. Messrs John Mill and Co., of Dunedin and Wellington, were the colonial agents.
Of the coffins 489 were shipped by the Chong Shin Tong Society, which is a branch of the big society in China called the Tai Chuen. The other ten coffins were shipped by Yei Chong, of Manners-street, and did not belong to any society.
The Ventnor's crew numbered thirty-one, and those on board included nine Chinese body attendants. These attendants of the dead are old and decrepit Chinamen, who are being sent home to China by the Chong Shin Tong, and given sufficient money to keep them from work for the remainder of their lives.

THE FIRE IN GREY-ST.
INQUEST ON THE CHINESE VICTIMS
An inquest was held this morning at Gleeson's Hotel to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the death of William Wah (cook) and Sing Hung (market gardener) who were accidentally burned at the laundry of Sam Kee in Grey-street, early on Friday morning. Dr. Philson (Coroner) look the evidence and Mr T. Quoi acted as interpreter. Constable Oliphant represented the police and Mr Ah Kew was present on behalf of his fellow countrymen. Mr James Collet was chosen foreman of the jury.
Sam Kee, who was sworn in the Chinese fashion, deposed, through Mr Quoi, that he was a laundryman and lived at the laundry destroyed by fire. He identified the bodies as those of William Wah and Sing Hung, and said they were natives of China. They lived in the laundry with witness and he last saw them alive at Ihe laundry at 11 p.m. on Thursday. At this time witness said both men were sober and they had not been smoking opium. Wah was 58 years of age and Hung 41. Deceased had no supper before going to bed. The house was 2 storeys and was lighted by gas only in the lower storey. Deceased slept in seperate rooms upstairs, but another man named Gee Tai slept in Wah's room. Witness slrpt in Hung's room. When they went to bed each had one sperm candle. Witness put out Wah's candle, but he was not sure if Hung's wick was extinguished. The candles stood on a table, and witness was soon asleep. He was awakened two or three hours afterwards by hearing a crackling noise below the stairs, and on getting up saw flame on the stairs. He gave the alarm and roused Hung up. He also called out to Wah, who got up. Witness did not go into the room, He then jumped out by a back window into the yard, some 20 feet below. He saw Gee Tai come out of a front window on to the verandah but he saw no other persons. At this time the Fire Brigade had not arrived. He saw the Fire Brigade afterwards endeavouring to put the fire out. Witness said the washing place was at the rear, where the boiler was located. It was in use on the day previous to the fire, Gee Tai put it out at 3 p.m. on Thursday. There was a charcoal stove at the back of the ironing room, he saw the fire there on Thursday put out. Witness believed the fire originated in the lower storey, but he could not say in which room.
The Foreman: This appears to be another case like the fire at the D.S.C. The Fire Brigade were not quick enough.
Constable Oliphant: I have a constable here to say that the Fire Brigade were present five minutes after the alarm was given. The fire was burning some time before the alarm was given.
Gee Tai, laundryman, who slept, on the premises, said the fire broke out in the lower storey. He did not know how the fire began.
To a Juryman: The windows of the house lifted, but there were no sash cords.
Constable R. Lanigan in his evidence said he was at the fire at 3.25 a.m. on Friday with Constable McDonald. At this time the fire had a good hold. It was mostly in Ihe back of the building. Only the inmates of the adjoining shop were then about. It was impossible to enter the building, but witness went into a right-of-way on the left of the laundry. Witness thought the fire originated in the second (drying) room on the ground floor, there were three rooms on the ground floor. The Fire Brigade arrived at the fire about the same time, as witness. He thought the Brigade were late in getting the alarm, but they succeeded in saving the adjoining building. The fire travelled very quickly. After the fire was extinguished witness found the remains of Wah face downwards in the front room upstairs facing the street. Wah was evidently more suffocated than burned. Sing Hung's body witness found in an adjoining room. The body was completely charred.
The Coroner said no evidence had been put before the jury to show how the fire originated. It would be best to return an open verdict.
The jury then returned a verdict 'That the deceased came to their death through burning, but their was no evidence to show how the fire originated.'
Mr Quoi then made a statement to the jury that gunpowder had been wrapped up and lighted and thrown into the shop by larrikins. The Chinese had been frequently annoyed in this way.
The funeral of the two Chinese leaves Mr Little's premises to-morrow afternoon.

CHINESE RESURRECTIONISTS AT WAIKUMETE.
DISINTERMENT OF CORPSES.
A GRUESOME SPECTACLE.
Time, 5.30 a.m., on a bitterly cold morning, in Waikumete Cemetery. Half-frozen, a pressman and a photographer attached to the staff of the "Graphic" make their way from the sexton's house to the furthermost corner of the cemetery, where is situated the section for Chinese and Atheists and aliens unprovided for elsewhere. A noise of hammering comes from the section, which is a good half-mile from the Anglican and Presbyterian allotments, and on arrival work found to be in full operation. The reception of our reporter and his photographic confrere is the reverse of friendly, and an immediate wrangle ensues amongst the gravediggers, evidently on the subject of the camera fiend's presence. A Chinese halfcaste European insists on their instant ejectment. The sexton, however, who has been handed proper credentials, proves a firm friend, and insists that he, and not any Chinaman, or half-caste Chinaman, is in change of the cemetery, and that he has his instructions. Things then calm down a trifle, but the work is resumed amidst much grumbling, and many vindictive and malignant glances are cast at the camera, and muttered curses uttered at the photographer as he dodges round looking for a chance shot. Once, indeed, when the shutter clicks, a furious celestial raises his pick in menace, and mutters a threat to do for the intruders, but he thinks better of it, and at the intervention of the European coffinmaker a truce is declared until arrival of "the boss." That individual presently arrives. He scans the permit; gloomily enough, and bids that the photos be taken forthwith, and the photographer and pressman depart. It toeing pointed out that there is no picture yet to take, and seeing that bluff has no effect, all active opposition as at once and finally dropped, and no difficulty put in the way of obtaining pictures or witnessing the proceedings save in giving mendacious information, lighting fires to obscure the graves with smoke, and endeavouring to tire out the patience of the reporters, etc.
By ten o'clock four graves, are opened, but owing to the non-arrival of some solder and zinc from Auckland it, is decided to open only two coffins on this occasion. The first of these contained the corpse of one Kong Shang, who died in 1891, a young Celestial of 36. It was thought that there would be nothing but dry bones there, but the stiff white clay is evidently a preservative, for when the coffin, which is full of water, is opened, it is seen that the bones have a decided covering of what had once been flesh and though drenched in carbolic acid a sickening odour makes itself felt at intervals. Directly an attempt is made to stir the body it all falls to pieces, the decomposed flesh falling off in almost imperceptible flakes, which had doubtless been dust had the grave been dry. Very carefully the impassive Chinaman in the grave rinses and unconcernedly places on a sieve a thigh bone, then some ribs, and a skull, followed by the rest of the bones, minute search, indescribable in print, being made for the smaller bones and joints. It is an intensely gruesome spectacle, and the horror is added to by the indifference to sight and smell or sentiment evinced by the Celestial workmen. The venerable clerk, a fine old fellow, with the face of an ascetic and a student, carefully tallies the bones which, having been rescoured in a large white tub, are finally dried and wrapped up, each duly docketed by the methodical old gentleman, who is evidently a most conscientious and probably deeply religious man. He, too, is fastidiously clean, and does not, one notes, eat as the others do in the midst of their noisome labours. The next body is that of a man who must have been of exceptional stature and weight for a Chinaman, and who has been dead but two years and a-half. There is much difficulty in getting this coffin to the surface, and the opening thereof, and the awful stench which completely dominated all disinfectants when the body was removed to the zinc one prepared by the European tinsmith beggars description, and may be left to the imagination. None of those whose duty called them to be present are likely to forget the experience, or to desire a renewal of the same. The soldering having been completed, it must be admitted no effluvia was discernable. The zinc coffin was then put in a rude case and packed in sawdust ready for shipment. There is no reason to think the zinc coffins will not prove effective and inoffensive under ordinary ciroumstances, and careful usage, but a fall or any accident in loading would, one imagines, have very disastrous effects. The work ceased at noon to-day. Mr Winstanley, Government Sanitary Inspector, is present, and looks after his work in so thorough a manner that no fears need be entertained by settlers or the general public. The pictures secured by the "Graphic" protographer are of a unique nature and the most gruesome details having been omitted, are quite without offence. They will be published on Wednesday.
The custom of the Chinese at home is to disinter bodies after seven years, and place the main bones in a large jar alongside the grave. It is in order to forward the bones to China for relatives to do this that the present exporting of remains is undertaken.

THE CHINESE CORPSES
The disinterment of the bodies of the Chinese from cemeteries throughout the colony during last, and the early part of the present month excited a good deal of interest. In Greymouth nearly 200 bodies were "resurrected" and stored in a shed in the cemetery, much to the disgust of the residents, who unsuccessfully protested against the bodies being allowed to remain above ground until the arrival of the Ventnor. The expenses of the removal of the dead Chinese to their native land, where alone their spirits could find perfect peace, was borne by their friends, the undertaking being so costly that, only the wealthier relatives could afford the expenditure, many hundreds of unhappy Celestials being obliged "to lie in cold corruption and to rot" in the cemeteries of the "foreign devil."
The exhumation of all the bodies was carried out by the one party of "resurrectionists," Chinese with a half-caste leader and a European plumber. The Chinamen carried out their gruesome work with the utmost indifference, knocking off to eat their meals immediately after handling the bodies without a thought of nauseation.
Some bodies had been interred about twenty years ago, others within the last year. In the case of those which had been reduced to skeletons the bones were carefully sorted, and packed in boxes ready for shipment. In other cases the flesh had reached an advanced stage of putrefaction, and in these the bones were stripped and similarly, treated to the skeletons of older bodies. When the bodies were still whole they were packed in air-tight coffins, soldered down, and labelled with the name of the departed.
In all eleven corpses were taken from their graves at Waikumete. These were not shipped on the Ventnor at Auckland, but were taken down the coast in smaller vessels to Wellington, and there transhipped to the Ventnor.
The Chinese in Auckland were excited on the receipt of the news of the foundering, but when questioned as to what, according to Confucianism, would become of the spirits of the sunken Celestials, they professed ignorance.

LOSS OF THE VENTNOR.
FOUNDERED NEAR HOKIANGA.
BOAT AND CREW MISSING.
HOKIANGA, October 29.
The steamer Ventnor, which left Wellington for Hongkong on Sunday, foundered off the Hokianga Bar last night at about a quarter to nine.
The Ventnor left Wellington, as stated, on Sunday, with 500 Chinese bodies and 6400 tons of coal. She was owned by Gow, Harrison and Co., of Glasgow, her port of register, and was captained by H. G. Ferry. Before she had been long out, at forty minutes after midnight on Sunday, a shock which shook the vessel from stem to stern made manifest to everyone aboard that the steamer had struck a rock, a subsequent investigation showing that the reef hit was to the southward of Cape Egmont.
The engines were at once reversed, and in a short time the vessel managed to get off. The wells were then sounded, and it was found that the vessel was making water in No. 1 hold.
The vessel was headed off shore to a safe distance, and then proceeded up the coast.
Meanwhile, the steam pumps were got to work, but from the first it was found that they were unequal to the task of coping with the inflow, and gradually the water gained, rising higher and higher in the hold.
On Tuesday morning it was found that the ballast tanks in the peak were full, putting the steamer down by the head, and making it evident that she had but a short time to float.
In the evening her bow was so far under water that she became unmanageable, and it was seen that she was gradually sinking, despite every effort that could be made.
At about 9 p.m. it became evident that the vessel was going down fast, and all hands were ordered to the boats.
These were launched by their respective crews, who immediately pulled away from the sides of the doomed vessel.
Hardly had they reached a safe distance when the vessel's stern rose in the air, and she sank, bow first.
The Hokianga Heads light was seen at a distance of about ten miles, and the boats pulled in the direction of the light.
At daylight this morning two boats arrived on the Omapere Beach, bearing fourteen of the crew, including the chief mate, John Cameron, the second and third engineers, D. Bailee and K. Muir, and two cooks, and a messman.
Mr Martin, harbourmaster, has taken the small steamer Energy out off Whangape to pick up two more boats which were sighted from the pilot station. One of these was picked up at 10 o'clock, but the other had not been reached at the time of wiring, 10.30 a.m.
Besides her crew of 31 persons, including five Chinese, the Ventnor had six Chinamen as passengers. Of the coffins 489 were insured in the Alliance Company for £5490. The fungus was insured for about £320 in various offices. She was under the charge of Captain H. Ferry, who has been seventeen years in the employment of the same company. The steamer was under charter to W. Scott Fell and Co., of Sydney, contractors. Messrs John Mill and Co., of Dunedin and Wellington, were the colonial agents.
Of the coffins 489 were shipped by the Chong Shin Tong Society, which is a branch of the big society in China called the Tai Chuen. The other ten coffins were shipped by Yei Chong, of Manners-street, and did not belong to any society.
The Ventnor's crew numbered thirty-one, and those on board included nine Chinese body attendants. These attendants of the dead are old and decrepit Chinamen, who are being sent home to China by the Chong Shin Tong, and given sufficient money to keep them from work for the remainder of their lives.

It’s been relatively quiet the past few days and I have really been relishing the time to get ready for summer. Today, I cleaned out the fridge and freezer, cut fruit, made juice and naturally ended up at a batch of popsicles.
Jar counting, pot cleaning, and counter clearing are on the docket for tonight as I get ready for my first round of #tomatolandia. And I should probably deal with some dinner.
