I .RABQDI3 KASSA'S KOUGfI VOYAGK. i The barque Kassa. Ifldcn with 370 inns i of wheat from Wallaroo, arrived at Ho- ' bart on February lit after a, rough trip. I On February 15 the vcaSel ran into a. very j heavy gale and mountainous seas, and ; was forced lo "heavc-tc." About 11 j a.m. a, heavy sea, struck the ship in the waist, smashing about. 45ft. i.f the 'but- 1 warks and t2 stanchions. This caused ; the vessel lo leak badly in the water- . ways. All hands immediately manned I tin i.ii.r.p:., and pumped for the remainder ; of thfl.t day and the whole of tho follow- I inn night, until tho pumps became cholicd . with wheat. All that could then he denewas lo pin. the vessel on h">' eo,us-\ ijiury- ! ing att possible sail, in order to reacl: port as soon as possible. Captain Brown ! ste.tej Uiat all the crew wori;c-d splendidly ! night. «,nd day. At the time the ship was ; struck by the heavy seas ihti M-st mate, I Mr. John Williams, was taor.kcd dom; j am! had his shoulder dialw-twl, jrhic'ii I laid him up-ifor Ihe vest of tho xoynge. : and necessitated his romoff.l to the hos pital on n.rriva.l. The captair. himself had his left aim badly bruised a little later. GOOD TIME BY A SAIUA'ii VE&SKI,. The American ship Dnnssvc. which was . recently sold to the Standard Oil Com- j paoy by Ma.yor James Floipu. junr.. for £50,000, arrived at Philadelphia lately, af- | ter completing a, remarkably fz-st voy- ) age from CaJeta. Buena. The vessel was only £0 days in raakinc the trip via. the Panama Canal, which is exceptionally good time for a sailing craft. The totaee from Christebal to Philadelphia, was ma.de in S3 days. ;

There was no boat from Auckland last week for the East Coast owing to the Arahura, being detained in Auckland for repairs. The neit vessel to leave for the coast, from Auckland will be tho Monowai, but, she may he later than to-mor-row in leaving as she was a. day behind going up the coast.

Three trips across the ft rait- have been arranged for the Kennedy to-dsv. She leaves here for Picton this morning, and returns to Wellington in time to raako another trip to the same port this evening. She is due hack again to-morrow, and will sail to-morrow afternoon for Nelson and the West Coast.
