A ROrcH 1 i \;ik WKI.I INCTO.N. Augu-t !h The Amerioan oil tanker Alaiviis H. AVhittier had a wild time outside AA'ollington en Thursday in the vicinity of the Ripple’s supposed struggle. The AVhittier arrived off the Heads on

Wednesday night. I.ut in the fare oi the heavy seas and pile the Captain decided to stand off. The ship was hove to all night and all Thursday till midnight when the wind eased off. The vessel which was then sixty-five miles south-east of Wellington Heads was put on its course for port. A gale tame from tho outh-west with terrific rain, squally, and a dangerous breaking sea mountains high. The collapse of the ventilators led to the flooding of the forepeak and of the crew’s quarters aft. The AVhittier was in the neighbourhood of tho Hippie’s supposed position, on Tuesday morning, hut nothing was seen of any other craft.
