ROUGHLY HANDLED.
The latter part of the scow Magic's voyage fijom Gisborne to Wellington was the reverse of pleasant for all on board. The little' vessel left Poverty Bay last Thursday week with a cargo of maize, and met with calm weather — necessitating the use of the oil engines — until Cape Palliser was reached yesterday week. At that point of the voyage heavy westerly weather was encountered. The wind blew with great force, and the scow was frequently swept by big seas. Her sails were blown away, and the engines being useless under such stormy conditions, the Magic was soon carried away from sight of land. Captain Chellen estimates that at one time the scow was 200 miles off shore. Tho weather moderating a course for Wellington was set, and the Magic arrived here on Sunday afternoon.
