THE LORD OF THE ISLES. The a.s. Moa, as reported yesterday, proceeded down to the Heads in search of the ship Lord of the Isles, to tow her into port. About midnight the steamer reached the Heads, and on making a few signals, the flash of a blue tight indicated the whereabouts of the ship, which had anchored about a -quarterof-p-milc outside. The night was beautifully fine and the sullen roar of a southerly swell, as it broke with a bright gleam over the many reefs and rocks at the entrance to the harbor, all was quite still as the Moa ranged a’ongside the ship. The cheery j»voice of Pilot Holmes was the first to break the stillness, and after a few words as to the price for tonnage. &c, all was bustle and hurry aboard both ve-sels, preparing to get under weigh. The few passengers which the Moa had brought out soon scrambled on to the slip, and were heartily welcomed there by her genial skipper, Oaptaln Piper. The tow line was passed out, and the merry song of the sailors, as the anchor was slowly weighed up, reverberated from the high hills around, and blended strangely with the truly lovely scene. The night, as said before, was beautifully fine. The moon was at Its fullest, one! it seemed to ouishine even the Brilliant light on Pcncarrow Heads; while many objects on the sho:e could be seen with startling distinctness. Just on the horizon was discernible several sails of small craft as they s’owly worked their way towards the Heads, white the good ship Xord of the Isles herself rolled lazily on a long southerly swell. At half-past 1 o’clock yesterday morning she tripped her anchor, and then the Moa steamed ahead, but as a brisk breeze from the N.vv. •was blowing it was slow work corning up the entrance. Shortly after 5 o’clock the ship anchored in the Powder Ground, and a few hours afterwards Captain Holliday boarded her, and cleared her. The Lord of the Isles is a vessel several years old,- and has been built more for the carriage of cargo than speed. She bas, however, made a fair passage ou r - of 94 days from port to port, and 84 from land to land. She comes consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company, and has on bond about 1400 tons of general merchandise ; no passengers. The steward of the ship, named James Cotterell, died on 3rd January from inflammation of the lungs, and his place had to be taken by one of the apprentices. The following is a report of the passage out: —Left London on the 15th December, and the Downs next day. Had very light N. and S. winds through the Channel; passed the Lizards on December 21st; sighted Madeira on the Ist January j having carried fresh westerly breezes to there. On the 3rd January got the N.E. trades in "30deg. N.; which proved moderate. Passed St. Antonio on the Bth January, and four days afterwards lost the trade w nds in 40deg. N. ; thence. experienced moderate SAW. and S. winds, and crossed the Line on the 16th January, in 2Cdeg. "W.; got the S.B. trades in 2deg. 3., and lost them in 25deg. The prime meridian was crossed on Peb. 6th, and the Cape rounded on the 10th. Had moderate westerly winds to the Kerguelen Island, which were passed-on the 20th February; thence fresh westerly till arrival at Cape Farewell on the 15th Instant. Had light northerly winds as far as Terawlti, und from there till arrival off the Heads on Saturday Afternoon a fresh breeze. Pilot Holmes boarded her promptly same evening, but a fierce gale springing up same night from the N.W., she was blown to the southward of Cape Campbell. At 2 o'clock on Monday morning, however, the wind chopped to the southward and blew light, carrying the ship close up to the Heads where she anchored at 5 o’clock on Monday evening, and from there was towed up to port as above stated. ’
