The William Giffurd had 75 lathoine of chain out at the time. All Saturday the gale increased, and at 5 p.m, when the barque was under her lower main topsail, she ■ shipped a heavy sea, that broke aboard as high as the maintop, carrying- away etaunchlons, main rail, and covering board, and shifting her cargo. Captain Bishop was obliged to keep the ship away to save her from foundering. About midnight the gale abated, and a course was shaped for L,yttelton" ■ to repair damages. The vessel has a cargo of coal - and coke from Newcastle for Oamaru, and as soon ■- -■■" as she is refitted will again proceed to that port The schooner Mary King, Captain Hilton, arrived in port on Monday night about 5 p.m. She was - one of the vessels lying in Timaru on Friday, when the gale commenced.

The wind at this time was S.S.W, blowing in heavy gusts, with a fearful sea setting- in. The ship's head was kept E, to get a good offing, as the wind • * veered from S.S.W. to S.S.E. On Saturday a porfeet hurricane was blowing, with hail and rain. Thai night carried away her fore stay, split fore - ■ staysail aud boom foresail, and was obliged to lay too under a close reefed mainsail, making a d-ift of about north. .The ship behaved admirably. On Sunday made out the Peninsula, and the gale having moderated, put all possible sail on the vessel, and steered for Lyttelton, arriving as above. The captain says that this is one of the most severe ' " Kales he ever experienced on the coast. After refitting the vessel will sail again lor Timaru. as she has still on board a portion of her original cargo .; fromGreymouth.
