THE BARQUE GLENCOE IN A GALE.

The barque Glencoe arrived in harbor on Friday evening, short of water and provisions, and with considerable damage to hull and loss of raizen mast. The captain reports that he left Oamaru on October 11, with N. E. winds, which carried the barque as far as the Nuggets, which were sighted on the 14th ; thence heavy S.W. and N.W. gales to the Snares, which were passed on the 22nd, when a terrific gale from S.W. sprung up, bar. 2!). 15 ; at 6 p in. the sea was running mountains high, and the wind was blowing a hurricane, the vessel then carrying close-reefed main topsail, main staysail, and trysail; at 7 p.m., a tremendous sea struck the vessel on the starboard bow, carrying away the bulwarks and stanchions, splitting the covering board from the aftermost shroud of the forerigging to abreast of the windlass, and starting the head-rail; the fore hatch and the forecastle hatch were smashed, as also the galley; the ballast, which consisted of coarse sand, and everything moveable on deck were shifted, and the vessel was thrown on to her beam ends ; the deck was full of water, which poured down the forehatch and into the forecastle ; the jib was set in the hope of getting her before the wind, but she would not answer the helm, and the vessel commenced settling down, the deck being so full of water that it was impossible to walk along. At this time, finding that she would in a short time go over, determined as a last resource to cut away the mizen mast. This was done, the mast falling over the lec rail, and, after some trouble, launched overboard. The vessel now paid off freely, and righted herself so that the hatches could be kept free from the water and the ballast trimmed. When the vessel was struck all the ballast on the starboard side of the kelson was thrown into the port wing as high as the deck, and the water casks, which were securely lashed below, also thrown over to leeward, the greater portion of the contents being lost. At 10 p.m., got the vessel trimmed and the wreck cleared away ; on sounding the pumps found she made no water; kept the ship before the wind until 8 a.m. on the 24th, when the gale subsided ; the sea still running high and being unable to heave to for want of after canvas, determined to run for Cook Straits; on the 2Gth, had strong N.E. winds, and passed the Nuggets ; on the 29th, a heavy S.W. gale was experienced, raining heavily ; 31st, wind again shifted to N.E., and, being short of provisions and water, bore up for the port to obtain supplies. —Lyttelton Times, November 3.
