The GcOlong towed down the barque Glencoe from Dunedin,' and anchored her off Deborah -Bay this, morning. She will leave with the .first S. W, wind for Moeraki r to load stone for Melbourne.

The ‘Home News’ of Nov. 11 reports The Isles of the South, from London to Canterburyi N.

Thes.s. Wanganui arrived yesterday afternoon from the Bluff with a large number of cabin passengers. ‘ She left the Bluff at 4.30 p.m. on Monday, and when off Busby Point the schooner James Paxton was observed in distress, being close in shore and fast'dragging on bo r the beach. The Wanganui made fast to her and towed her back-to the’ Bluff. Started again at,B p.in., called at Gatlin’s.River at day- . light, but seeing no one about, did not stop, . and proceeded to Dunedin. We thank her Jmrser (Mr Herbert) for files and other avors.. The a.s. Gothenburg arrived yesterday afternoon, having been picked up and towed in by the s.B. i Tararua,, from about' twenty miles north of the-Heads. It will be remembered that the Gothenburg left the Bluff for Melbourne on the 14th fast. 1 About 3 p.m. on that day; the air-pump rod of the starboard engine broke, the engine being disconnected from its condenser and worked at high pressure. The port engine was worked as usual, but with low pressure. The vessel was then going about six or seven knots. At 9 p.m. the next day, when about 150 miles westward of the Solandors, the engines were brought up all standing, and upon examination it was found that the stem bush was started, and ihe shaft was fast in it. She was then put finder canvas, and steered for Port Chalmers. She signalled the Bluff on passing, and, having a westerly wind, made good progress until Sunday, when she encountered a N.E. gale. The same night the wind again shifted to the westward, ■ enabling her to roach the Heads at 9 o’clock on Monday night; but the wind blowing strong from the S. W., she hove to Hieing too far out to anchor), and signalled with blue lights and rockets, which were not noticed on shore. The strong S.W. wind, with the northerly current, drifted her to the northward during the night, and she was fortunately picked up by. the Tararua iu the morning. Ou arrival in port she was at once taken into the Graving Dock, and after the water was pumped out, it was found that the shaft was broken inside of the stem bush, and one end of the shaft was overlapping the other and jamming it, like two wedges. Workmen were busy this forenoon taking off the fan, andas soon as they get the shaft out it will be forwarded to Dunedin to be welded. Her passen gere, luggage, cargo, and gold, were transhipped from her to the Tararua. The s.s. Maori sailed last night for her usual trip to. Lyttelton and intermediate ports. SHIPPING TELEGRAM.
