' '' AN EXPERIENCE AT OAMAKU.. Tho Shaw, fSavill, and Albion Company's-s.a Aotca arrived in tho roadstcad at Oamanros Saturday night, and was brought In to the Uap. bour on Sunday morning by Captain Ramfiaj (says the North Otago '"i'tmes ). A heavy sofl was running, and there was a fairly/Btitf breczo blowing from the north-past. As the vesecl passed Over the anchor pool the order wad given to drop the anchor, bo as to slow tho vessels head round, but 'some part^-of tho operatingmachinery. ">ammcd,. and tlie anchor could not be dropped at'tho moment. A hav/sor was earriod to the buoy, but tho heavy sea and Wind .and. tho. weight, of tho largo vessel .subjected it to so sovoro a strain that It carried away. - Tho. vossel then drifted towards tho Bumptor Wharf, towards tho shoal gromid. A line, however,, was attached to tho Sumpter Wharf frcm the iessol's bowa and another from-the ctcrn Ilolines Wlicrf, .and theso held her in. a portion from which other lines wore, run out, and with the aid of thesei the big-vessel; was brought to tho Ilolmos Wharf- lncro-was* always the danger of the lines carrying away, but Captain Kamsay skilfully brought the Aotca' to lior berth.
