On crossing tbo ' breakers the first one broached the vessel to, and the second breaker ; turned her over, all hands aboard being drowned. One man stuck to the wreck till after sunset, and in the meantime.strenuous efforts , were made by those -.ashore, to save him, put unavailing. A boat was manned, and put off from the shore three times, but was swamped on each occasion. Five hands were on board at time of the wreck. THE SHIP ENDYMION. The very severe gale which brought the Endymion into port on the night of : August. Cth by next morning had blown itself out, and communication from the shore . with, the vessel was able to be held. The Endymion primes to; be a neat* little iron ship, seven years old,’and come? into port in very good.ordeiv The Endymion is a chartered ship; *... of Shaw, Saviil,. and Co., and. is owned by S.■ L.. Munro and Co;., of London. • Her principal trade lias, : been" to China for tea; but she is no stranger to these waters, having been to.Lyttelton and Auckland, The Endymion, for a small vessel, lias made a very, good passage of 91 days, and has beaten t’-e ship Gleulyon, which left the Thames a day before she did. Her 1 cargo consists of about 1200 tons weight and measure- ; ' ment goods. The Kndymion commenced her voyage.! " 1 •on the 4th May, and with a moderate breeze froni ; > the N.E. was fortunate in clearing the Channel next \ J ■day, and nine days later was abreast of Madeira, ' northerly winds, with two days’spell of N, and SAY. ■ ; winds, having carried her thither. A few days of variable weather was next contended with, and cn' the - • 17th .of May got what proved to be the first f*of the N.E. trades.. It proved a moderately good: wind,; and gave out on the 2nd June. Two days of •. variable weather then followed, and when twenty.four miles to the north of' the Equator; got . the’ S.E. " trade, and crossed the Equator same day. ; This trade * * was bribk, but only lasted for seven days, and after disposing of two day’s E.N.E. wind, got a N.W. breeze ,on the 12th, the vessel. being then four miles distant < from Martin Voss Rocks. On -the 22nd June crossed the meridian of Greenwich. With strong westerly = behind her, she headed ■* to the .orient, r and - «■ made progress, rounding the Cape on the 2Cth June, and on the 29th the low glass heralded the approach bf bad weather, and same day was obliged to fayrto with a heavy W.B.W. gale, ,the wind blowing . most violently for twelve hours, with, high seas, one of ‘ which struck the ship and did some .damage on board.. , Aftenvards the weather - became more moderate, * but at times •it blew heavy;-and'she ■ .reeled out off the ’ balance ,of her easting to; the meridian of Tasmania, principally on the 42nd parallel. She passed Tasmania on the 15th 'July, arid same day, had a severe north-east gale, with high sea. - Moderate' winds and fine weather followed; • .but she! was always either on the one tack or on the other, as the wind stuck persistently to the north-east till Cape Farewell was, sighted, on,the sth just. Here, a heavy Inorth-west gale • was Aietf with; and on Monday at hopn'was abreast of'thejHeads; at3!p:ra. ; Pilot Rolmes boarded her, and she (commenced to. . work in; but at 8 o’clock^sameVpight-the wind suddenly chopped round to : arid 'blew a gale;: ;The.weatheciwastintensely thick, and 1 ■ none,of the lights .could -be: seen;! therefore, filot Holines ihad to let her drive-in through Abe entrance before the heavy gale and' through:;the J inky, darkness . without i the least guide to show -him the course. At the bestitp come’into WeUington'under.suoh circum- v i .stances is an extremely.risky job-.butv by the greatest precaution* she' was successfully navigated Into;port, and anchored { at 9c ? o*clocfc r same night a;’gqod way :down the harbor. The two other vessels dhat came in | at.the same time, viz.,') the^brig.‘Robin. Hpod { and, VL barque Edwin Bassett’had also to find their way into’ harbor similarly to t the Endymion!; The Endymion ~, spoke the.QueeaKeeonthe26thJune off the Cape, 63 ‘ • out from London. Jjound.to Nelson.;..m •. ’ ‘ARRIVAL OF THE GLENLYOK. " q The ship which arrived pff the Heads on Tuesday ’ night, August.‘-.7th, ■ ■ -iproved \to be > the ' Glenlyon, > from London, 96 days out. She tacked about all knight with a heavy N.W. wind, and -at daylight headed for the port, the wind in the meantime having changed into the S.E. When abreast of Barrett’s Reef at 8 a.m. it fell calm, and subsequently backed into N.YV again., .The_vesseLbelng._thus.placed. it .a precarious condition,-she,had to,_be. brought to an anchorage, but had not long'done so* when’the wind again took into the S.E., and blfew-very hard. Before the anchor could be hove up again-the vessel was dipping! bows under the very heavy camp , up, and the only resource left was to sup the anchor 1 arid forty fathoms of. cable, which was done, and she . arrived in port at 10; a.m. The Glenlyon :is under ; ' charter to the N.Z S. Company, and has a full cargo, consisting of about 1250-tons, ,and ; is,very deeply . - laden. She commenced her voyage ori the 3rd Mayv and made a good mn down the Channel, clearing it in 24 hours, with a: moderate N .E. breeze, which she • carried with her for about 200 miles .pff the land, and then was headed with hard S. W. gales' acros? the Bay of Biscay. On the 18th May got.'the , N,E. trades, which were not of much account; arid <which lasted ■■ ; for 10'days. On the 3rd June she crossed the Equator, and after a spell of variable winds got the. S.E. trades ■ in 16deg. north, which proved to be’strong, rind held till 17th{June: ! After disposing of a few days' variable weather;got the first .of the westerly wrinds, and ,• crossed the meridian of Greenwich the 23rd June,. and rounded the Cape on June 28th. The'westerlies were very strong and Unsettled;'shifting-frequently round,from NAY. to S.W.v l On the :25th July* experienced a heavy gale, and. 'vyas pooped by a heayy k sea, washing the man away fro m the wh“.pl/who ,forr, r tuuately was not injured, arid also carrying binnacle and stand. The westerlies carried her to ! thd ! * meridian of Tasmania, and here the wind hauled into the N. and N.E., blowing. very hard : at times. /Qn ; •Monday last made her landfall at Rock’ri Point, and - , same day had a grile. which 1 was followed ' ' by a heavy nor’-wester, which* brought her down off the Heads oh Tuesday night. She arrived here as r r ribove stated. • ?, r
