The time-ball maybe used to-day for.tating chronometers. A chronometer true on Greenwich lime would show 12h. 30min. when the ball drops. Any difference is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer.

She should return to port on Thursday afternoon. _ Captain Holliday, Harbor-master, received a telegram from the Heads -yesterday, statin? that there was a tremendous sea running with a strong southeast wind The steamer Napier, and schooners Isabella and Spray, and ketch Thames, were at anchor In Worser Baj*. The steamer Kennedy, which has been laid up far some time at Xelson, resumed her running to the West Coast on Sunday. She left Nelson on Sunday afternoon, and arrived In harbor at 3.3oyestera&y morning; had fine weather to The Brothers, and from* thence a southerly gale with very lumpy se®.

Captain Fairchild reports two large steamers at anchor in Worser Bay. They will probably be the Ladybird and- TUngarooma, which left yesterday in tho height of'the southerly gale. • The steamers Manawatu, from Wanganui, and Jane Douglas, from Foxton, should arrive this afternoon. The steamer Southern Cross, from Auckland and Fast Coast ports, should arrive here this forenoon.

In wake Of fore rigging, hari.ngbeeu. in collision with the ship Swiftsuro.—The Diipbar.Castle, Captain Ismay, from London to Sydney, arrived at Plymouth on May 19, with cutwaterxarxied away and other damage, through collision wbh a Swedish barque about twenty-five . miles oflfdhe Start previous day. The barque sank immediately after the collision, drowning three of her Cr Tho startling intelligence was received in Moruya of the wreck of the I.S.N. Company's steamship Monaro ’(says the Sydney Morning Herald of a recent date), which occurred at a place known as Kelly's Point, Single Bingie, which is about seven miles from Moruya Heads, and is a rugged neck-of land running* about six hundred yards into the ocean, having a gradual descent. Tho ship lies about forty yards from the furthest point, and is apparently severely insured' in the stem and amidships. From what we ca» ascertain she is inside of two reefs, as it were in a channel. Captain Sheed, who evinced deep emotioriv and feels his unfortunate position very keenly, statesthat about 3.30 a.m. he was proceeding on his passage to Merimbula. He was in his berth, and the.chief officer, Mr« G. Furze, whs in command of, the. ship,- when he was; aroused by a heavy crash and a k collision. Ha imraedhtely rushed to the deck without his clothes; The engines were immediately stopped. and' ; in_ less than half an koux.tha engine .room was filled with water; Inaqswer to enquiries the chief officer stated that he-* was steering Ibe usual course, oc.perhaps a poiht more: j t’p sea, The morning wasextremely dark, andxafmcwg heavilv. . Seeing the dangerous state- of the ship; b' d immediately ordered-the boats to be lowered* ?‘.nd that the women ahdohiidren.be put into-theux The boats being fully equipped and officered, ho instr acted the men, to lay. by the ship till daylight,, whilst 'he and orcw,mado. necessary preparations provisions and shelter for the passengers. The me* a obeyed orders with coolness, whilst* the passengers displayed a' t markod degree of courage. Fortunately., it wasrenjVkaWy.fillo* with awcely a ripple. At daylight all hands set- tp work- to. land the passengers, provisions, *c. This was safely accomplishes iin about two oj three hours, at a 1 ttle to the north -of the disaster. The Monaro left Sydney at 9.30 a.tn., and made a splendid passage till s ! >e met with the ill-fated accident at 3.30 a.m.- this mondnp. The fires went out in the engine room about ten, minutes after she struck. The women and children were safely lodged in boats about half an hour the accident. There was no undue and tho officers and men worked with a will. Nob knowing their exact position, every precaution was made -for the comfort of the passengers. The Monaro was a new steamer and an excellent rca.boat, and great sympathy is feltfor her commander. The reason for being'so close to land was that it was intended to unship goods on Montague Island. Later news states that- the Monaro is a per'ect wreck. She parted amidships, and the whole of the stern to the bridge • was washed away. The starboard engine and tho are exposed, and heavy seas wash completely over the vessel; The point and epast is strewed with wreckage.

THE HINEMOA IN. A GALE OFF THE EAST COAST. The Government-steamer Hiaemoa Mt Napie'. a t 11 !V m. on Sunday imthe ota fierce gale ftnr the S S IV. The- windijradnaUv- increased to hurt' , raDO force, with the, sea, running mountains high : 6 till Captain EairqliUd: kept her at it, although she was only doing about four knots. She behavedspl eadidly, riding the.waves like a duck, and never sluy .pjng any heavy water The force of-tho gate may be imagined lyben the sea wa beaten quite smooth m the heavier squalls. The weather was very thick, tne fog never lifting, and the captaih. had! to work entirely by dead reckoning. Squalls of hailstones that nearly blinded those on, deck came down at Intetva s. It was an anxious -time for those qn board:, whan, they were supposed to be- near Cape Palliaer. Then was the time when Captain Fairchild's intimate knowledge of the coast became of great advantage. He knowing what thosteamer could do, had her position pricked off on the- chart as being near the Cape, when the lifted, and then there was no denying that he correct. Captain Fairchild then gave her the fore-and-aft canvas, and when she rounded Palliser, se.’t the topsails, and she then pegged it off to soma tune, 13J- knots being logged, arriving at the wharf at 10 o’clock last night. One old salt assures us that he never experienced such a gale of wind in his life, the upper topsail yard being level with the sea when she dipped; Captain Fairchild deserves great credit for the skilful manner in which he handled his vessel. It he had made a mistake in his reckoning, or the Hinemoa had been a less wcatherly boat, there is no donbt she would never have been heard of. We. were- assured on reliable authority that there has not been.such a gale—orhurricanu is a better term,—on. the coast for years past. |
