The Oamaru evening paper of Monday says;—“ The Catlin, from Catlln J liver, bound for Titnaru, sought lor shelter in our port on Saturday from the.boisterous weather that prevailed outside. We learn that .she started from Catlin Paver with one or two ' landlubbers’ on board; just such a crew as would be likely to throw ux* the sponge—and indeed anything else—and become incapable in time of need. Taking advantage of what appeared to be a ‘slant,’ the skipoer essayed to proceed on his passage yesterday. Mr. Pilot Shand. accompanied by two borrowed men—one from the Defiance, and another an employe of Messrs. Miller and Smillio—helped to take her out, with the intention of returning when they had put her fairly on her way; but the crew was faulty, and the wind strong and unfavorable. The little craft started, but the before-mentioned difficulties were too much for her, and she gradually drifted towards the shore. At on© time she was less than a stone’s throw from the shore, and nearer dissolution than we have ever seen anything that did not actually suffer it. At this critical moment, the wind playfully vacilated between south-east and south-west, and increased in force. Destruction seemed imminent, and some men would at once have accepted that which appeared inevitable; bub the captain and pilot persevered, and in five minutes after she was struggling in the surf, she was well out of danger. Last night, by the light of the moon' she could be seen far away on the horizon, sail being taken in, and the vessel having been made comfortable fer the night. No doubt yesterday’s lesson will teach the master of the Catlin not to allow the safely of his vessel to rest In the hands of those who do not know how to handle one."
