PORT BOWEN FROM LONDON. The 0. and D. steamer Port Bowen, which arrived in tie stream at LytteHon on.Wednesday night, berthed-at No. 7 west yester-r day inorning. The Port Bowen left London on January 12th,. and, with the exception of a strong 1 «»ale encountered in> the Atlantic, the voyage was without incident. Running down-from the Canal to Lyttelton the'vessel averaged 18J Snots, a. record, for the vesejl, and it i* also. claimed/to be a record for the fleet. v v The Port Bowen brought seven passPttfTS, Mr and Mrß F. P. Mouett (Dunedin>), Messrs J. C. Kirkaldie end N. P. WeeW (Du«;dinl. D: J. Cproora.uj (Melbourne), T. T. Smith (Christchureh), arid J. Batger (Auckland). The Port Borroia .i» eommanded by Capt. E.D. Beck, who has with- him the following ofßcere:—Chief officer, J". W. Enwright;. eecond', R. O. Ca-rter; third', W. G. Jones; fourth, J. A. Grant; chief en<?i- ---} peer, G. P: Sharps: second-, J. T. Hooper; third, J. P. •Campbell; fourth, M. R. Potter; fifth, F. A. Younir; ifxth, X>. W. Drover: seventh, t). A. Brookes.; refrieeratihg engineer, C. C.

Colson The Port Boven has 1200 tone of general carpo to dis«hiu:ge here, attl will eorapMe discharge et Dunedin, subsequently loading at Dominion, ports.. A fine piece of seamanship was displayed by the harbourmaster, Captain T. M. ] ter, yesterday, in beit*ing the Port Bowen during a stiff- southerly £ale. The! Port Bowen was "light on," ilfrnng only 2000 tonß of cargo, in her holds, and with her huge bulk abc-vo. water she was ah easy prey to the wind. It is usual for the pitGt3, after bringing a vessel in the moles to head her up towards the bend of Gladstone Pier, and biw;k her round into her berth. Captain Hiinter decided""Tiot-to fake this, course yo If rday owing to the. danger of the Port being blown brdar?flide on to 7 .the end of any of the wharves. With the aesiatance of the tug ho headed the steimcr up towards the dock, and .fliei: puttiuy Jier head close in to the cattl© wharf, just had room to let the etern blow round past the end of Xo. ' wharf, and .then sho was hacked into her berth. At'bns period.during this raanwurre a aiiddeft equall threatened to carry the steamer's bow into tho yacht anchorage, but the tug was quickly to tho rescue. . The operation of' Lxiaiding the Port Bowen at Camp Bay from the boarding launch earlier in. the morning was not without excitement. The boarding party, conHstin? of the Port Health .Officer Dr. C. H. Upbatn, two Customs officers, the ehip's agcrtt, Mr J. Garrard, and a "Press" representative* were conveyed down the harbour in the. launoh' Ruahroe. £ heavy swell was running.up the harbour, with a naety crosssea running in the opposite direction. On arriving alongside the Pert Bowen a perilous necent \\M made un a rope hddsr, swaying and twisting in the wind up the -sheer'side of th? stesmer, as high as a twostorey building. Dr. Uphani, who as Health Officer, was the first to ascerd. had r. somewhat narrow .escape, bein? left swinging on the ladder before he had a proper .hold. Seab breaking .over the stern of the launch did; not. tend to make the position any more comfortable, arid tho Darty were ; glad when ell were finally aboard the steamer. The partv wire unanimous, in their selection ol the Port Bowen as the best medium of returning to port. J SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. LONDOff. March 1.
