We (Paily Southern Cross) have been obligingly furnished by Mr Owen, of the firm of Owen and Fendelow, with the following letter received from Mr Bye, a passenger by the ship Bulwark. The letter was written while that vessel was lying at Mauritius ; —" Port Louis, Mauritius, June £o.—After nearly four months at sea we have only got this far. We left London the 28th February, and had little else than a succession of storms until we put into Simon's Town, Cape Colony, on May 12, where we called ior water. We left on the 14th of that month, and ten days after, in Jat, 41 south, we encountered a most fearful gale, On the night of Sunday, the 26th May, we had little hopes of ever reachiug land. We were ruoning with a very heavy sea when a big wave came on board right over the poop, sweeping away the wheel with three men who were at it, landing them on the main deck, with broken legs, arms, and ribs; carried away our skylights, half filled our cabin with water, and completely smashing up all our boats. We had five feet of water in our hold. AU hands turned to work—-ladies and alb—and after 18 hours pumping we at last dared to hope the ship was clear. To make a Jypg story short, we Worked hard day

and night for 80 or 100 hours, and by God's mercy here we are. We send this by a little barque leaving here for Sydney. Please communicate this to the Southern Cross, as we are aware many in Auckland will be anxious for the safety of our ship. We lost no lives. All well on board."
