The ketch Eliza M‘Phee is taking on board transhipments of railway iron from the ship Hindostan for Oamarn. The s.s. Wanganui will sail for her usual trip to the Bluff this evening, and the s.s. Wallabi will make another special trip to Timaru to-morrow. The p.s. Samson came down from Dunedin for her usual trip to Oamarn, but as the N.E. gale had not moderated, her departure was postponed till this evening. The s.s. Maori, having discharged her grain into the ship Dunedin, steamed up to the floating dock, where she was taken in for the purpose of having her bottom cleaned and recoated with anti-fouling composition. There was a strong gale blowing from the N.E. last night, but the whole of the vessels in harbor hung well to their moorings, with the exception or the barque Comet, which began to drag. As soon as it was noticed, a pilot went on board, and she was safely remoored at the head of the Graving Dock, without suffering any damage. The gale continued through the night, and a number of boats were swamped at their moorings. A survey was held yesterday on the p.s. Comerang, now in the Graving Dock, she having been ashore at the Bluff. Upon examination the copper on her bottom was found to be very much torn, and her bilge keels broken, likewise her false keel aft, which will have to be replaced by new ones. However, this will not be done too soon, as they are thoroughly decayed, but her main keel seems quite sound. She will receive a thorough overhaul before coming out of the dock, and will then resume trading between this port, Bluff, and Riverton.
