AN EXPECTED SCHOONER.
Anxiety is at present widely felt for news of the topsail-schooner Dauntless, belonging to Mr Conroy, of this city. She left Moerafci (Otago) on or aboitthe Bth July for Wellington with a cargo of breadstnffs, and no tidings of her up to >he time of writing h»ve been Teceived. The usual duration of such a voyage is from three to nine days, and seldom exceeds fourteen. It wil be seen that tbe anxiety is not without cause when it is considered that the schooner is now SO days from port. The Dauntless is a fine weatherly vessel of about 80 tons register. She was built by Messrs Niccol and Son, of the North Shore, and is usually considered one of the firms best efforts in shipbuilding, being a remarkahly fast sailer, haviDg fair carrying capacity and good bearings for picking herself up in a heavy sea. Captain Poul<en was in command. We sincerely trust she will be heard of befoie long.
