THE LARGO LAW.

Tho TJ.S.S. Co.'s chartered sjeanier, Largo Law, 3974 tons, Captain Henderson, arrived from Newcastle at i p.m. yesterday. After being cleared by the Health mid .Customs officers, tho vessel berthed at the llaihvay Wharf at G p.m. The Largo Law left Newcastle last Wednesday morning, and experienced fine weather until noon on Thursday. Tho light south-east wind increased rupidly, and from Thursday Monday heavy weather prevailed. Considerable minor damage, such as steel coverings being ripped off, occurred, while tho storm was at its height, u.id onoj sea flooded the forecastle, drenching tho men's quarters. The weather moderated on Monday afternoon, and a lino passage accompanied tho vessel until arrival. The cargo of the Largo Law consists of coal and timber principally, which >is for discharge at Wellington, Lyttelton, and Timaru. It is expected tho vessel will sail from the latter port to Newcastle.

Tho Shaw, Savill steamor Mamari is timed to sail*at noon to-day, for Lytteltou with balanco of cargo. The Zealandia leaves Wellington to-morrow for Sydney,. Coast ports, and is due to arrivo at Sydney on November 22. The Warrimoo, from Sydney direct, duo.today, is bringing 100 saloon and 95 stcerago passengers for Wellington. Tho scow Eunico is reported to have' left Hokitika last Saturday, with a cargo of timber for this port. The Huddart-Parker steamer Wimmera, which left Wellington last Friday for Sydney direct, arrived at Sydney yesterday morning, after a smart passage of 80 hours. Wellington being the Niwaru's last port of discharge, the vessel, on completing discharge, will proceed to Napier, probably next Saturday, lor Homeward loading. The s.s. Manaroa left the wharf last night at 8 o'clock. She, however, put back again an hour later through stress of weather. The departure was postponed until 3 this morning.., The New Zealand Shipping Co., as agents for tho Oriana, advise that they expect, to despatch tho vessel for .Lyttelton this afternoon. On completing discuarge at Lyttelton, she proceeds to Dunedin .thenco to Sydney, whero, under v charter to Messrs. Scott, Fell and Co;, tho Oriana will load a cargo of frozen goods and general merchandise for Vancouver. A correspondent, signing himself " Old Sailor,' writes to tho -Sydney Morning Herald' stating tho Suevic is not the first boat to have a new bow built and grafted on, and travel any great distance. The Itomo had a new bow built about sixteen years ago at Caird's, Greenock, and travelled between Home and Australia. Seven tugs help to berth tho Lusitania in New York, and in that quarter oi the city where the passengers disembark, tho crush of the public, all anxious to see the vessel alongside for the first time, was so great, that it was necessary to call out tho police reserves to maintain order. The Tyser liner Star of Ireland, which arrived at Wellington on Monday, from Liverpool, via Auckland, has about MOU tons of cargo to discharge here. It is expected tho vessel will proceed to Lyttelton and Dunedin' on Saturday next to complete unloading. From the South the Star- of Ireland will leave for Australia. Captain Griffiths, who is: in command, is on lus first voyage in this vessel. Ho was formerly in charge of tho Star of Victoria. Messrs. Castendyk and Focke, local agents for tho Norddoutcher Lloyd, have been advised that the Bremen arrived at Fremantle yesterday. The vessel has the following passengers for New Zealand:—Mr. and Miss Keep, Air. and Mrs. Swift, Mr. and Mrs. Ford, Mr. and Miss Hotop, Mr. and Mrs. Ball, Mr. and Mrs. l'cpler, Mesdames Frescott, Palmer, M'Lean, ihompson, Lucks, Messrs. Kopor, Meredith, and Spragg. Dr. French, the surgeon of the White Star liner Majestic, hail a most alarming experience during tho voyage to New York at the end of September, narrowly escaping with his life at the hands of a mad stoker. On the third day out ono of tho stokers, n man named Patrick Shcehan, came to him in his surgery for treatment. Dr. French had no reason to feel alarmed at tho man's appearance, but was surprised when tho latter turned and locked the door behind him. Then, with out any warning,' tho stoker threw himself upon the doctor, hurled him to the ground, and attacked him with a madman's desperation. Dr. French was unable, to resist tho maniac's strength, and could only cry out for help. The stoker held him by tho throat- ond tbr unfor-

tunato doctor was Ijeinp rapidly strangled when one of the ship's officers, finding it impossible to effect a rescue by means of the door, fired a rovolvcr down through a grating and tdiot (ho lunatic. lie fell back, badly wounded, and Dr. French, hastily flinging open the door, pinned the man to tho ground until assistance arrived.
