Southern Cross was undocked this afternoon and passed up to town. The schooner Fiery Cross arrived yesterday from Moeraki, and passed up to Dunedin. It was the schooner Zior, which put in here from Hokitika on the Ist instant, which took her departure yesterday, and not the Cora, as stated in our last issue. The ketch Isabella arrived this morning from Gatlin’s River with a full cargo of 26,000 ft of timber, which port she left on Wednesday. Reports the coasters Lloyd’s Herald and Janet Ramsay loading there. The barque Annie Lisle arrived last evening at the Heads, after a good passage of eight days from Kaipara, and was shortly afterwards towed up as far as the lower anchorage by the tug Geelong, She left Kaipara with a full cargo of 250,000 ft of timber on the 30th of December, with a light N.E. wind, which continued for twenty-four hours, when she got a strong breeze from the S.E. for forty-eight hours, and came through Cook’s Strait on the 3rd instant with a strong N.W. wind, which continued as far as Banks’s Peninsula, which was passed on the sth ; then got a strong S.E. gale for twenty-four hours ; after which variable winds to arrival at the Heads were experienced. The contractor for launching the stranded brigantine Emulous (Mr John Bezett) is making satisfactory progress with the work. We yesterday paid a visit to her, and found that she bad been raised on blocks, and slewed round bow on to the sea. The contractor is determined to go about the work in a proper manner. His intention is to place ways under her 130 feet long by 12 feet broad. She has been raised three or four feet above the level of the shingle, which will give her a good run down when they launch her. The Emulous, notwithstanding the fact that she has been stranded no less than three times since she was first launched, is a strong vessel, and if she had to put to sea to-morrow, we are given to understand she would not make an inch of water. Should the weather prove favorable, she will be ready for launching in a week. — * North Otago Times.’ The schooner Florence, Captain Brown, arrived in harbor at noon on January 1, from the Manukau. The captain reports : —At about 11.30 p.m. on the 27th, when off Taranaki, a fresh breeze blowing from the S. W,, the mate, James Greeves, who was standing alongside the water-cask having a drink, staggered and fell overboard with the dipper in his hand. A lifebuoy was immediately thrown overboard, and the vessel put about and a boat lowered. The night was thick and cloudy, though there was a moon. The boat was kept in the water for three-quarters of an hour, when the sea was so rough that she was taken on board, or she would have been swamped. The schooner was kept in the neighborhood till 2 a.m. on Monday, when it blew a gale, and the schooner had to stand in shore. Nothing was heard or seen of the unfortunate man again. He was well known here, having been on the coast twelve years, and possessing a master’s certificate, and sailed the Rose of Eden out of Wellington and Wanganui for a long time. He brought the Eliza Mary here on her last trip from Havelock. He was much liked and respected by those who knew him.—‘Press.’
