THE ALBION’S PASSAGE.
. On the passage from New Zealand to Hobart Town, the Albion had to steam against very heavy westerly gales, with a high head sea. From Hobart Town the Albion had a pleasant passage, light variable winds and clear weather prevailing. On tbe return trip from New Zealand a passenger named J ohn IV) ‘Lean fell overboard and was drowned. The circumstance happened at S p.m. on the 10th inst., and on the alarm being given the engines were at once reversed, and a boat lowered as speedily as possible. The wind was blowing a heavy gale at the time, and the steamer was under single-reefed topsails, and the sea was something frightful. Notwithstanding this, Captain Clark did all that could be done under these most disadvantageous circumstances, but before help could reach the unfortunate man he had disappeared.— ‘ Argus.’
