Marlon Roof, nosr Kdithborough. Bhe left Port Adelaide on Tuesday. February 2, and ran on tho reef next day. The "Adelaide Register" of February 5 reports that the steam tug Adolalde returned from Troubridgo Shoal on Thursday morning, having succeeded beyond expectation ingettirg the barque Antircsoffthereefandin such an uninjured condition that she proceeded on her voyage. Tho veßSel. which left Adelaide on Tuesday, was heading along by tho wind at about four kno.s per hour, whon sho stuck hard and fast on the Marioi 110-l, which 1b tho southernmost catch of Trourbricfgo Shoal, nnd distant from the llgb.thon.eo about three miles. The weather being flno and tho sea smooth, the ship's boat was got out, and it was found th it there was deeper water ahead of the vessel; therefore, a couplo of kedgos were carried on', and on the following tide all sail was sot to try and gi over the reef. Momtlroe a meosaxe was despatched for a tup, and the Adolaide was sent to the scene of tho disaster. On Thursday morning, without much trouble, eho was towed off and anohored in ton fathoms of wafr, andthooflicials. having mado a Btriot and careful survey, did not oppose tho master's doslre to continno tho voyage. CaDtatn Inglls, harbourmaster of Port Adelaide, status that the veeael was right on tho Marlon Roef with a rocky bottom. Tho sea was smooth. Had there bren a woatorly wind with a rough aea, tho vessel would uavo gi ne to pieces. Tho captain accounted for the neoirtent by saying that ho had mipjudKed hia distance. Ho had nol taken any soundings after uettine s«von fathoma. Thoro was seven to eight feet of wator around tho vessel. The vessel made no water, and there were no ovldencoß of her having sustained damage.
