The Sydney Morning Herald, January Bth, writes " thus of the Wolverine :—H.M.S. Wolverine, which ' ; arrived on Friday last, as relieving ship to the Pearl, ; was built in 1863. and is a sister ship to the Orpheus, which was lost on the Mannkau bar. This is her ' fourth-commission, her present having taken place in' August, 1867. Her appearance is most sightly, and " she can attain great speed under canvas alone, having ; on this her outward trip made many days' runs at .an average of fourteen knots. Under steam, with full pressure, she can accomplish 11J knots per hour, but with ordinary pressure she carries eighteen days consumption of fuel, which will produce a speed of nine hnots. She left Plymouth on the 29th_of . August, and Madeira on the 10th September, calling at Tristan d'Acunha on 30th October ; supplies were landed, and all the inhabitants were found well in health. On' the 10th November the Cape of Good. Tope was made; from thence she took her departure on n,« 18th, and made for the Crozets, which were reached on w. B 30th: the vessel steamed round the group, and a porcu... of the officers landed on-Posses-lion Island,- but, no sign of wreckage was discovered. The Wolverine has o u bo««i _a Gatling gun, for ship or field service. It has ten barrels, and discharges 200 shots in 50secs., and is effective at 1000' yards. She has, aUo a torpedo room, with all the necessary appliances ; in short H.M.S. Wolverine is replete with all the modern improvements, either for attack or defence. .... :
