On Tuesday morning it was seen that she had drifted from her i moorings (in fact, during the bight her • chain had parted, und nothing could prevent her drifting), and had gone onto the i sandy spit at the northern point of tho Island. The Cynthia remains there at pre- : sent high and dry at low tide, with her bows - seaward and in no immediate danger, •unless unusually rough winds and heavy seas prevail. Tenders have been called for re-launching her, and the work will no ■ doubt be best accomplished by bringing her across the sandy spit into tho river. -Fortunately, in this instance, ono of the-special industries of Westport is 'house-shifting, and tho appliances and skilled labor at command, will no doubt make light work of shifting tho Cynthia. The s.s. Kennedy, after three days' detention by reason of bad weather outside, left for Greymouth at midnight on Wednesday, but about 11 o'clock yesterday morning she steamed back a gain into the river, after a rough night off the Steeples, battling with wind and sea, against which she could make no headway. It is' Very doubtful, had she made the Grey, whether the bar there would have been passable.
