HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DAYS. 1 Just as darkness was sotting in on Sa.V urday, word was received from the signal station at the Heads that a baraue was four miles off, signalling for a pilot. Captain Waxhliu, of the Duchess, was instructed to get his vessel veady, but, owing to it being Saturday evening, it was found difficult lo locate all tho members of tho crew. He accordingly arplicd to tho officers of H.M.fl. Pioneer, and asked for volunteers. Three Jack Tars readily responded, and tho ves-cl left the Ferry Wharf about 8 p.m. It was anticipated that the baraue, which proved to bo the Duncraig, 115 days out from Liverpool, would be brought to an anchorage about 11 p.m. These hopesproved false, however, for it was 9.30 a.m. yesterday before tho sailing ship dropped "the hook" inside Port Nicholson. When the Duchess got outside the Heads all signs of tho barque had disappeared, so it was decided to cruise about, and at about 4.J0 on Sunday morning she was picked up not very far off the land, and taken in tow. Captain Petersen, master of tho Duncraig, reports\ that he tsft- Liverpool on March 9, and bad favourable weather all the voyage. Ho was eight days in the doldrums, and made the New Zealand

coast' eight days ago. Tho prevaiiini; "southerly" of tho last week or so seriously impeded progress in Cook Strait, and he was compelled •to shelter under Stephen's Island. On June 28 the main ton gallant sail was blown away., when the vessel was trying to negotiate the Strait. Tho JDuncraig has. 1100 tons of general cargo for Wellington and 250 tons for Dnnediii (optional). All aro well on board, and it is probable that the vessel will berth this morning. The Shaw, Savi.ll, and Albion liner Athonic was due back at Lyttclton from Gisbornc last evening or this morning. She remains thero until Thursday of this week, when r-hc comes up to Wellington to complete loading for London. An arrival from London, via Australian ports, Auckland, and Napier yesterday afternoon was tho Tyscr Lino's 6teamcr Marcre. Tho vessel is berthed at the King's Wharf, and upon completion of discharge here sails for tho south. Captain Watson, of tho Union Company service, arrived in Wellington by the Maori yesterday morning. Mr. D. Miller, late second engineer of the Tarawera, has joined the To Anau as chief. Messrs. Davis and M'Kcnzio aro associated with him as second and third engineers respectively. Mr. Bonnie, late third engineer of tho Tarawera, is now acting-second, and Mr. S. Head joined the vessel as third at Duncdin this trip. A projected departure from Westport for Wellington to-day is the Union Company' 6 steamer Flora, She is to bring a cargo of coal for the Westport Coal Company's local branch. Due at Wellington from Nelson on Thursday nest, the Anchor Lino'B steamer Waimea leaves on tho same day for Nelson and West Coast ports. Following tho Pateena, the next vessel to bo placed on tho Patent. Slip is the Stormbird. It is probable that the Kahu will bo taken up this week also. On Wednesday next tho coastal steamer Putiki is expected at Wellington from Timaru direct. Sho sails for Greymouth on tho saino day. Messrs. Castcndykc and Focke, local agents for tho Norddeutschcr-Lloyd Steamship Company, havo been advised that the steamer Soon, from Antwerp and Bremen, arrived at Sydney on Saturday morning.
