The Edith Eeid was floated off the Molyneux Bar on Saturday. Although she has sustained but very little damage, it will nevertheless be necessary to proceed to Port Chalmers with the first favorable opportunity to get an overhaul.—‘ Leader.’ The steamer being built by Messrs Sparrow and Co., for a Wellington firm, is to be completed in a little over four months from this. She will be of about 110 tons, with a draught of about 6 feet; her length 110 feet, and beam 16 feet; and her engines be compound with surface condenser and of about 26 h.p. nominal. She will be fitted up wif hj the latest improvements. The N.Z.S.S. Co.’s Taranaki arrived alongside the railway pier at 9.30 this morning. She left the Manukau at. 12.30 p.m. on the 7th, Nelson at 1 p.m. onthe 9th, Wellington at 4 p.m. on the 10th, and Lyttelton (where she arrived at 9.30 a.m on the

11th) at 1 p.m. the same day. Experienced fine southerly weather during the trip. We thank Mr C, J. Edininston (purser) for report and exchanges.

O. Times ’) learn that that vessel, when she put to sea on Saturday last, experienced terrific weather. When she was hove-to a heavy sea struck her, smashing the bulwarks, starting the covering board about midships, and the vessel when she heeled over shifted her cargo. Captain Bishop, thinking the vessel might founder, bore up for Lyttelton, where she arrived safe. She will probably undergo repairs before she leaves for Oamaru again. The fore-and-aft schooner Isabella Pratt, Captain Cross, which left Allday Bay for Napier, laden with breadstuffa, on the 3rd instant, appears to have come in for a rather severe taste of the gale which raged from Friday to Saturday night. She arrived at Napier on the Bth inst., and yesterday Captain Cross telegraphed to her owners in Oamaru that she “experienced terrific weather; bulwarks partly gone, boat stave, and other damage.” The topsail schooner Pelican, Captain Hanning. which left Oamaru for Napier on Friday night last, arrived at her destination on Tuesday night, after a most tempestuous passage. Captain Hanning telegraphed yesterday to Mr H. Aitken, the owner, that during the gale the ship s boat was stove, and other damage done to the deck. At one time the vessel was thrown on her beam ends.

Of the eleven vessels which ran to sea from limaru on Friday evening and Saturday mornmg, four are known to be in safety, namely, the brigantine Kate Brain, and the schooners Eliza M Phee and Mary Ellen, which are in Akaroa, and the brigantine JVLary King, which is in Lyttelton, If the Success has been wrecked, as feared, there are still three vessels unaccounted for—the brigantine Endeavor, and ketches Janet and Lucy James. The Wild Wave had in her a full cargo of sleepers for the General Government. The Pearl schooner, for the safety of which fears were entertained, returned to Tiraaru on Wednesday.

ihe fore-and-aft schooner Cora, from Havelock to Waikouaiti, with timber, put into Wellington on Sunday for shelter, having lost a suit of sails as well as having her deck loa!d of timber swept overboard by the heavy seas during the recent violent gale. The captain says he has never met with such fearful weather during his experience of fourteen years at sea, and had it not been for the Weatherly qualities of his vessel he really believes she would have foundered. As soon as the Cora has completed her repairs she will sail for her destination.— N. Z. Times.’
