She will return to Foxton to-day. The s.s. Eangatira left for Napier at 4.15 p.m. yeselThe s,s. Arawata should arrive here from Melbourne via the South on Friday morning. She will sail for Nelson next day. The p.s. Charles Edward is announced to proceed to Nelson and West Coast this afternoon. The p.s. Manawatu sailed for Wanganui at 11.30 p.m. yesterday. , , The Stormbird should arrive here to-day from WangaQwing to some internal alterations and repairs being effected to the s.s. Tui, she was unable to proceed to Foxton yesterday. She is expected to get away for that port this afternoon. . The s.s. Taupo, from the North, will arrive here this afternoon, and sail North at midnight. The s.s. Kiwi, Captain Campbell, from the East Coast, arrived in harbor yesterday at 1.15 p.m. She brings nearly 300 bales wool, in the collection of which she was favored with tolerably fine weather. After rounding Cape Paliiser yesterday morning she experienced a very heavy W.N.W. gale, and she was six hours steaming across Palliser Bay. Off Taourakin Head It blew very hard, and continued so till entering the Heads, when it somewhat moderated. The Kiwi will sail again for the East Coast this afternoon. The topsail schooner Marmion during the past week has had her deck and topsides thoroughly caulked. She was taken up on the Patent Slip yesterday afternoon to have her bottom examined. The s.s. Alhambra left the wharf for Melbourne and Southern ports yesterday at 1.15 p.m. . The ketch Otaki, from Otaki, arrived in harbor yesterday in tow of the s.s. Kiwi, having been picked up by that vessel at an anchorage at the Heads, flying signals of distress. From the account given by the master, Mr. Bilby, we find that the Otaki left Otaki for this port with a cargo of wool on the 3rd inst, but meeting with unfavorable winds had to run In to Porirua harbor on the sth; there she remained till 8 o’clock on Monday last, when another start was made for this port. A heavy N.W. gale was met with, but all went well till off Sinclair head, when a heavy squall came down off the hills, striking the little craft, and careening her so that although she was under close reefed canvas her sails almost lay flat in the water. The deck was clean swept of all unsecured articles, including the casks containing the fresh water. She then beat in to an anchorage at the Heads, where the s.s. Kiwi saw her signals for assistance and brought her into port. Captain Bilby says that when the squall struck the vessel, which very nearly upset her, he would have abandoned her, as he did not believe she would be able to right herself; but he had no boat, and he further informs ns that the Otaki has not been in possession of one for some time. We wonder our Customs authorities, who exercise such vigilance in some matters, could have allowed this vessel to proceed to sea -without a boat. Indeed, In our opinion, the Otaki shouU. never have been allowed to go to sea, as her size build, Ac., are such that she is unable to combat with the heavy weather which is frequently to be met with on this coast. It will be remembered that about two months ago one of the mail steamers had to tow her Into harbor, having found her drifting out to sea without any sails, the only suit which she had having been blown away. , „ ~ That sound and handy fore-and-aft schooner, the Aspasla, Is to be sold by auction to-day by Mr. George Thomas. The cutter Hero, of 29 tons register, and two yachts, will also be put up for public competition by the same auctioneer to-day. The Avalanche was successfully launched off the Patent Slip yesterday afternoon at half-past 4 o’clock. The s.s. Napier conveyed about 80 people round to Evans Bay to witness the launch.
