A steamer -which lately arrived in New Zealand met with a violent storm off the English coast just after she had quitted port (says the Auckland "Herald"). An hour after she had sailed a warning was issued by ' the British. meteorological authorities that a cyclone wa6 approaching. By that time the vessel had steamed into the disturbed area, and met the full force of the cyclone. For J2 hours she battled against the weather. Seas .swept her fore and aft, washing overboard everything movable, including one boat that;was high up on the boatdeck. Two 'other boats ■were stove in. The deck cabins on one side of the ship were smashed, and rendered useless for The saloon was flooded and materially damaged. In the efforts of the crew to make secure all movable .materials, one sailor had an ankle fractured, another was seriouslE injured internally, and several more received minor injuries. After maintaining its maximnm force for 12 hours—during part of whicV the barometer . stood as low as 27.50—the'cyclone settled down to a strong gale, which lasted for four davs. For thi* remainder of the voyage ordinary weather was encountered.
