Allport (Secretary of Marino) received a telegram from Nelson yesterday regarding, tho launch which Captain Wlialstrom, ofHhe Putiki, picked up oif Farewell Spit light on Sunday last. Mr. KayMr, of the Croixelles, who sent tho telegram, stated that his launch had drifted from lior moorings oil July 15, and had not sines been heard of. Full particulars of the found launch aro to be supplied to Mr. Rayner, no it is probable that it is liis vessel. • ' DOES WHALING PAY? Tho Norwegian whaler Campbell, which

' ' DOES WHALING PAY? The Norwegian whaler Campbell, which has been cruising in the vicinity of Stewart Island for sovcral weeks past, arrived at Port Clmlmers on Saturday, last. Cap* tain Ellefsen, her commander, stated that only two whales wero seen in three weeks, and one—a medium-sized one—was captured. In order to make the venture payable, Captain Ellefsen said that five such fish would require to be captuved daily. The Campbell cost between £5000 and £6COO, and the sister vessel, which his brother commanded, and which is a.t present down at Stewart Island getting rtfady for whal- , ing, cost a, similar sum. To ensure the financial success of the Campbell andthe other vessels of tho fleet, the return from four or five whales a day are necessary. . THE BLENHEIM. Messrs. Johnston and Co., Ltd., agents for the steamer Blenheim, I'oceivcd 'word yesterday from Blenheim that the vessel is stall lying aground inside the Wairau Bar. There was a light S.E. bree2e pre- i vailing yesterday, with, a moderate sea on 1 the bar, but the vessel is in smooth water, i Owing to the heavy sea at the Wellington 1 Heads, the Stormbird, which is taking the i salvago gear over' to the Blenheim, was I unablo to get out yesterday, but whs to have made another attempt to' get. out at an early hour this morning. The company received a later telegram yesterday afternoon stating that the Blenheim was working inshore. THE SOUTHERLY GALE. Last week was a week which will not be easily forgotten by captains of vessels trading about this coast. • The heavy, I i»outh«eastcrly gale, which prevailed throughout tho week, died down towards I Saturday, and Sunday turned out a glori- | ous day. Sunday's weather did not last long, for Monday dawned forth wit a. keen southerly blowing, and j'osterday tho I severity of tho "snap" excelled that of I all previous days. Tho wind howled all 1 day long, heavy showers of rain fell, and, an augry sea rose and broke at tho Heads. These conditions consequently had some effect on ships' movements. ' The Stormbird left port during the day for Blenheim, but was compelled to return, owing to stress of weather. The Mapourika sailed at 4.45 p.m. for Nelson and West Coast ports, ,bu.t was unablo to "face it," and so returned to Worsor Bay, where she anchored for the night. The Mararoa left for Lyttelton at' 8.30 p.m., and cleared the Head 3at 9.10 p.m. At a late hour last night the weather at tho Heads was clearing, a moderate sea was prevailing, but tho wind was still fresh.
