Lyttelton, Ootober 3. —Arrived, the Free Trader, from Hobart Town, with timber. She encountered very heavy weather, and lost her deck load, horses, and galley. LAUNCHING OF THE ORETI. This vessel was successfully launched early on Tuesday morning. When she slid down the “ways*’ one of them broke, and the schooner hung half in and half out of the water for about half-an-hour. An anchor was run out into the bay, and with a flowing tide, and a large number of willing hands on shore to haul on the line, she was at last hauled out to her anchoring ground, when, after taking in ballast, she left for Dunedin early on Wednesday morning. Again this vessel was in great danger of coming ashore on Tuesday, last, only a few hours after her launch ; and were it not for the timely assistance of Captain Pallant and the Harbor Master, she must certainly have come on the beach. Captain Pallant, who was just returning after picking up one of the anchors of the brig Highlander, which was lost here some years ago, was informed by Captain Sewell that the Oreti was in imminent dangers of driving ashore, in fact hanging by a small line —having parted her own chain. Captain Pallant, accompanied by Captain Sewell, promptly went to the assistance of the unfortunate vessel at the great risk of their Uvea—the anchor and chain which Captain Pallant had picked up hanging to the stem of the boat, causing her to dip into the sea and take in large quantities of water —a strong wind at the time blowing into the bay, raising a nasty sea. After considerable difficulty they succeeded in getting the anchor down, and left the vessel in safety. Great credit is due to the above-named gentlemen for the prompt manner in which he acted on the occasion, and certainly we think that the Insurance Company should not overlook such timely assistance,— North Otago Times.
