Rangatira steamed for Poverty Bay, Tauranga, and Auckland, at 4 o’clock this morning, with 91 bales wool, 150 sheep, and sundry other cargo. The iron ship Helen Denny, from Glasgow', arrived at Auckland on the 19th inst., after a passage of 108 days. She w r as principally freighted with the ironwork of the Thames Gas Company. From the report of her passage we ob serve that when the Helen Denny was off the Capo of Good Hope, on the 11th October, she encountered a very heavy gale, which shifted suddenly from N.N E. to S.S.W. ; a fearful sea was on, and the decks were partly swept by its force. At 11 o’clock orders were given to heave the ship to, for the purpose of riding out the gale, when a fearful sea breaking on board washed a seaman from the port main braces and carried him overboard. Nothing could be done to save the poor fellow’s life without endangering the ship and crew—-no boat could have lived in such a sea. The man’s name was John Perry, aged 19, a native of Port Rush, Ireland.
