The Chairman of the Auckland Steam Packet Company contradicts the statement that the Company are negotiating for the purchase of the Hero. A suggestion to that effect had been made, hnt the Company had taken no action in the matter. The steamer Llewellyn, purchased hy the Company, will cost, with alterations, ahont L 13.000. Her tonnage is 298 tons register. ■The Harbor Co.’s s.s. Beautiful Star arrived from her usual trip at 9.30 this morning, and steamed* alongside the ship Oamaru to discharge grain. Sh& left Lyttelton at 2 p.m. on the 4th, with a strong S.W. wind, and near Akaroa met the full force of thelate southerly gale, with very thick weather, which compelled her to run back to Pigeon Bay for shelter. Eemained there until 11 a.m. on the 6th, when, the gale having moderated, she went oaa to Timaru, and took on board 1,009 sacks of grain and Other eargo, leaving there last evening. The Ladybird arrived from the North at S p.m. to-day. She left the Manakau at 9 a.m. on the 2nd, called at Taranaki, Nelson, Pioton, Wellington, and Lyttelton, which latter port she left at 6.25 p.m. yesterday. She experienced strong southerly gale wilh heavy beam sea while crossing the Straits, and was detained forty,one hours in Wellington, owing to the severity of the weather Great fears are entertained as to the safety of the ketch Defiance, which ran into Moeraki on Saturday afternoon, and shortly afterwards was noticed to have parted her cable. At the time the sea was making a clean breach over her, and since then nothing has been heard of her. The Llovd’s Herald, which left Gatlin’s Eiver on Friday morn, ing with a full cargo of timber, and was passed bv the ketch Fanny off the Taieri, hovc-to, has also not been hoard of*

A PEEILOUS VOYAGE. (Wanganui Chronicle, May 31.) It seldom happens that we are called upon to record snch an eventful voyage as that made by the ketch Thames, which arrived in the river on Friday afternoon. This craft left Lyttelton at midnight on Monday, and with a fair wind stood on her course"py U fter leaving port, the Thames experienced the full force of the severe westerly weather which has iately prevailed, and here sho encountered a fearful sea. Fortunately, the gale was nearly a fair wind, and before the furious gusts, often in the trough of the sea, she made fair average weather considering her size, her deep loading, and the fierce violence of the wind. Under water, literally, was the voyage chiefly performed, frequently it being quite impossible to see a few yards a-head, on account of the driving spray caused by the break- , ing of the heavy seas, each threatening to submerge the little coaster. But a heavier sea than usual broke over the little vessel, washing the captain, who was at the tiller, forward to the foot of the foremast, and sending the two seamen overboard altogether. TJo captain, as soon as he recovered himself, heard shouts for assistance, and looking over the stern saw one of the men hanging on to the tmer rope, which he had grasped as he went over the side in the bock wash caused by the lurching of the vessel after the sea had struck her. The ketch was as quickly as possible brought to the wind, and the seaman rescued from his perilous position. The other sailor had also clutched a rope in his frantic efforts to save himself, and so both were assisted on board and saved from a watery grave. The vessel herself ran a very narrow escape i nom foundering when she broached to, and she took i j 80 inucb water that all the food on board was damaged, and the fresh water rendered unfit for use. This occurred on Wednesday, from which time until
