The smell from the dead carcase was most offensive, so much so as to cause one ol the crew to belli; but there was a swarm of sharks around tugging away at the body. Several were of immense size, and it was evident all were thoroughly enjoying themselves at their revolting feast. . .. , . The steamers Tui and Jane Douglas sailed for Foxton yesterday afternoon. The cutter Dido sailed for Collingwood and West Wanganui yesterday afternoon. The f s Hawea from the South will be here this morning. She will sail to-morrow at 11 a.m. for Auckland, via the East Coast. A somewhat peculiar and annoying error occurred in our shipping report yesterday. We stated that the brigantine Exonia was in apparent danger at the Heads and was towed to a safe place by the steamer Stella,’ whereas it should have been the Darcy Pratt. In reference to this matter. Captain Stewart, of the Darcy Pratt, wishes us to express his most sincere thanks to Captain Fairchild, of the s.s. Stella, for the very timely assistance which he rendered him. Captain Stewart is a comparative stranger in this po i t, and bears most ready and willing testimony to Captain Fairchild's promptness in coming to the assistance of a fellow-seaman. The brigantine Darcy Pratt got under way from the Pilot Station yesterday morning with the first of the flood tide, and anchored off the breastwork at 1 p.m. As has already been stated, she comes here irom Clarence River with a cargo of timber for the whan extension. She left there on the 24th ult., and carried moderate N.N.W. winds across. Made Cape Farewell on Thursday last, and got off the Heads next day, where she had to come to an anchorage owing to the heavy gale, and remained so till yesterday. arriving here as above mentioned. The ss. Wanaka arrived in port with the San Francisco mail on board at 11 a.m. yesterday. She left the Manukau at 7.15 a.m. on Saturday last, and just before crossing the bar one of the blades of her propeller fell off. A severe NAV. gale brought her smartly down the coast, button arriving off Taranaki a very heavy sea was rolling there, which rendered it impossible to communicate with the* shore. Consequently she pushed on for Nelson, and arrived there on Sunday afternoon. At C. 30 p.m she made a start for Picton, but on getting outside, owing to the very heavy sea. the engines raced considerably, and another blade of her propeller came off. Finding the vessel thus crippled, Captain McGlllivray determined to give Picton the go by. and come direct to this port, where she arrived as above stated. The Wanaka proceeded to Lyttelton at 3.30 p.m. yesterday. A , , The s.s Alhambra sailed at 5.15 p.m. yesterday for - Melbourne via the West Coast. ARRIVAL OF THE ST. LEONARDS FROM LONDON. Messrs. Shaw, Savill, and Co.'s regular trader to this port, the St. Leonards, got off the Heads yesterday morning, was boarded by Pilot Holmes shortly afterwards, and at 8.30 p.rn. she anchored at the powder-ground, as she has powder on board. The Harbormaster went off to her shortly after her arrival, but as there were no watermen available no one else could communicate with her. On the return of Captain Holliday it was ascertained that all was well on board- .She has made the passage in 95 days, which was a fine weather one. Mr, E. Pearce is her agent. She brings the following passengers;—Saloon: Mrs. Wilson and family (3), Miss Read, Mr. W. Barton, Mr. G. Baikes, Rev. D. Dutton and family (5). Miss Po-dton, Mr. Pollen, Mr. J. A. Low. and Mr. O. C.
