Nelson Evening Mail, Volume XIII, Issue 174, 22 August 1878, Page 2

The Suez mail will arrive by the Wellington fo-niorrnw morning. The Kennedy, which left here on Monday, has not yet reached Westport. The Murray is still detained at Waitara by the boisterous weather. Tlio Charles Edward will sail for the West Const to morrow morning, weather permitting The Wai In ce will probably arrive here from Wi'iieanui to morrow. The- Lady Bavkly sailed for Golden Bay this morning. Tho Arthur W.ikefield sailed for Motueka yesterday afternoon. She will load there wi'h timber for Wellington. The schooner May sailed this morning, but meeting with adverse weather outside returned to port later in the day. The Wellington left Wellington at 1 p.m. to-day will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail for Pictou and Wellington on Saturday. The AVanaka leaves Wellington tomorrow afternoon, will arrive here early on Saturday morning, and sail at 3 p.m. for Taranaki and Mamikau The Dauntless returned to harbor this morning after severnl ineffectual attempts to round the Spit. The wind is described as Wowing a living gale, varying from N. to N-W during the last week at the Spit. The master of the Dauntless reports the steamer St. Kilda lying at anchor at Totaranni. A steamer was seen coming in from the direction of the Spit early yesterday morning supposed to he the Kennedy. Two tops nil schooners are lying at Tonga, one of which i- the T. B. Taylor. The AVoodbine was towed to the outer anchorage, yesterday afternoon, and sailed for Newcastle during the night. Captain Ifoullon, who was determined not to let the Woodbine beat him, got the Lady Barkly to tow the Ta^soout at two o'clock this morning, and immediately made sail. The two vessels have since been knocking about in the bay within n mile or two of each other, and a good race will probably take place to Newcastle, thoujih it is probable that with the present weather the colliers will put into Totarauui. The Hawea arrived in harbor at 3 o'clock this nn irninjr. She left. Onehunga at 11.30 a.m. on Tuesday, ond reached New Plymouth at 7.3f a.m yesterday. Owing to the very heavy sen running the surf boat was unable to put off from the shore, and signals having been made to this effect the Hawea proceeded on to Nelson, arriving here as above. The steamer had a very dirty passage between Taranaki and this port. There was a heavy gale blowing from the S.W., which raised a terrible sea. The engines were eased down, as the steamer being light it was impossible to drive her through such a pot-boil sea. Wave after wave came welting over, and the deck the best part of the time had two feet, nf water on it. This state of things lasted until the tranquil waters of Blind Bay were reached. The passengers suffered greatly from mal de mer, and very few -ventured ou deck The Hawea sailed for Wellington and South shortly after 2 p.m.
