The schooner Awaroa which left Wanganui on Thursday afternoon, was coming up the Bay when we went to pre3B. The Kentish Tar will sail for Napier this evening should the weather prove at all favorable. The Barkly arrived from Golden Bay last evening, and was placed on the hard this morning. The Wanaka made a good run across to Wellington, having arrived there at 2 a.m. to-day. The Richard and Mary has again been put into commission. She sailed last evening for Motueka, where she loads with timber for Wellington. The Wellington sailed for Picton and Wellington this afternoon. She leaves the latter port on the return trip on Monday afternoon, and will arrive here on Tuesday morning. Captain Cameron of the Wakatipu being about to stay on shore to be ship's husband to the Union Company, Captain Wheeler late of the Taiaroa has been appointed to the command of the Wakatipu the largest steamer of thot Company's fleet. Captain Peterson, of the Beautiful Star, takes charge of the Taiaroa. The Chaudiere will haul from the wharf at Wellington on Monday, and sail for London on Wednesday. The whole of her sailors, with the exception of one, have ! deserted, so that she will have to obtain a fresh crew, which will be no easy matter, as they are rather scarce in Wellington just now. A Dunedin telegram dated 7th inst. says : — Captain Moffat, of tha ship James Nichol Fleming, which arrived to-day, 89 days from Glasgow, bringing 39 passengers and a large cargo, reports that when off the island of j Tristan D'Acunha he encountered a very ! heavy gale from NE., attended by high seas, one of which broke on board, filled the deck, and carried away a hen coop. The same sea also overwhelmed an able seaman named Patrick M'Lean, who was jammed against the side and washed overboard. The vessel at this time was travelling at the rate of eight knots an hour, and owing to the lumpy sea running the man's chance of recovery seemed small, but he succeeded in catching hold of a life buoy thrown to him, and by that means kept near the surface. Captain Moffat at once sent a man to each of the cross- jack yard arms in order to keep the struggling seaman in view, and at the same time sent away a boat in charge of the chief officer, Mr. Lockhead. After pulling round the spot for a considerable time, the boat's crew were about to give up the search as a bad job when they discovered M'Lean's head above the surface just ahead of them, and pulling up to him quickly raised him over the gunwale and returned to the ship, after being absent for more than three hours. Notwithstanding the extraordinary length of ti me M'Lean was in the water he was alive when picked up.
