Captain Leed reports leaving Port Louis on September 18th, and experienced moderate Weather with variable winds until reaching latitude 41 degs 54mins south, when a heavy gale of wind, varying from N.W. to S W. vas ; encountered. ' This was on October 13, and on the following day the gale moderated. On the 15th, when in lat. 42degs 40mins S. Hong. 118deg8 20mins E, another gale varying, from N.W. to W.S.W. sprang up, and raged furiously for four days during which time the vessel was under storm canvas, and scudded before it at a spanking rate A fearful sea was running and several big vaves broke on board, but fortunately did no damage: , Rain, and sleet in immense quantities also fell at intervals. On the fifth day the gale spent itself, and a spell of fine weather* was met with, Tasmania being passed on October 22.

Cape I Farewell wjas rounded at 10 30 a.m. yesterday, and the vessel arrived here as above The Catherine Leed ia a three-masted schooner. of 220 tons register, and was built at Perth, Scotland, iv 1865. She brings a cargo of 300 tons of sugar,., consigned jointly to Messrs Sclanders and Co and Messrs J. H. Cock. and Co. At the Police Court, Oamaru, on Oct. 28, .lames Alexander,, master of the brigantine Clansman,- was charged with having, on the 22nd iust,, at Oamaru, unlawfully allowed her to be so loaded as to submerge in the water the centre of the disc marked upon her side amidships to indicate the maximum load-line in salt water to which tho owner of the vessel. intends the same to be loaded. Defendant pleaded guilty. Captain Sewell, harbor-master : I observed the arrival of the Clansman on, the' 22nd. The entire discmark on the port side submerged was about a couple of inches above the top of the circle. Had the hrigantine stood on even keel, she would have been 4Jin. submerged She had a. cargo p£. timber. . I am of opinion' that, 'she bad twenty-five tons more cargo than she should have had. I think; Plimsolls mark is too. high on the vessel'^ side. The dis tance fftjm'-tb'e-deck is little more than halij what it should be. The Magistrate remarked that he, could not see his way to .allowing this case to' pa*s over without exacting some penalty. Simitar cases had recently come under, notice of the.Gourb, Tand. Warning had then been explicitly given- that fines would have to be exacted in the event of future transgressions of the Shipping Act. Defendant was fined £5 and 10a costs.— North Otago Times. ,. .,-.,..
