A SHIP IN A CYCLONE. The Aigburth, a ship ot 1700 tons, which anchored in Watson's Bay, Sydney, on the night of the 18th Inst., after a passage of sixty-seven days from Iquique, had a sensational experience when off Pitcairn Island on March 7, Captain Read, who is in command, states that the vessel encountered a violent cyclone, which lasted for five os six hours. The wind, which waa {rom the north-west and north, attained a very great velocity, and mountainous seas were running. The Aigburth strained end laboured heavily, and a very anxious time was spent by all on board. Dhring the height of the tempest a full suit of sails was completely destroyed. So great was the force of the wind that the sails were jtorn Into shreds and carried away. Gigantic seas constantly broke over the vessel, and the decks were awash for several hours. Everything of a portable character on the decks was swept overboard. Some conception. of the strength of the storm may He formed from the fact that the Aigburth rolled toprails under. Fortunately no one was hurt, and the hull escaped damage.
