<By Telegraph.— Own Correspondent.) " ! "WTTANGAREI, this day. The Whangarei-owned trading vessel! I«dy Eva, employed in shifting timber! gear from Parker and Lamb's forest at Mokau, which has now been worked out J to a new bush at Tairua, Coromandel j Peninsula, had to contend with some very rough weather, and when returning up the coast in the teeth of a sou'wester it once travelled only nine miles in seven hours. , . . The vessel set out at midnight yesterday from Whangarei for Mokau, but had only proceeded as far as the Kioreroa wharf when a strong ' outward tide caught the barge Partau, which the I*dy Eva was towing, making it uhxnangeable and swinging it against the bridge piles. Three planks were stove in, and the ship's bow was extensively damaged. .The Lady Eva put back to the town wharf, where repairs were done this, morning.
