telegrams.] MELBOURNE, October 30. Received October 30th, 3.20 p.m. Arrived—Orient s.s. Austral, from Plymouth (September 16th). An exciting scene occurred yesterday in Hobson’s Bay, on board the Norwegian barque Thor, 1100 tons, about to sail for Malden Island. Five deserters had been brought on board as the vessel was on the point of leaving, when they all jumped overboard. One narrowly escaped being drowned before he. was secured. The Water Police ultimately captured the others, and took them on board again, whereupon the whole of the rest of the crew refused to work. The vessel is therefore still detained.
Received October 31st, 1.25 a.m. ADELAIDE, October 30.
Serious hot winds are being experienced here, and the good done by the late rains is being rapidly neutralised.
