STRANGE FATALITY OF GUANO CAKGOES: ANOTHER VESSEL JN DISTRESS. A fow days hack wo announced the return to port of tho American ship Polar Star, she having sprung aleak when only on b two days from thia place. She had on board 1,100 tons of Baker's Island guano. The vessel, it •was found, was making at tho rate of two feet of water an hour, aud consequently the orew had to be kept consantly employed at the pumps. Tho cargo of guano on the ship Polar Star waa brought to this port by the barque Robert on August 19, 1S71, she having 'sprung a leak v* hon only a few days from B -leer's Island on her way to Cork for orders. She w.w making at the rate of 22in. to 24in. of water per hour. — From tho following extract, taken from tho Kydnry Momiii'f Herald of March 3, it will be seen that another vessel, laden with guano, has had to bear up for shelter, she also having Kprtuig a leak : — " Tho Norwegian ship Otto Antonio is from Baker's Island, bound to C irk for orders, ;md has put into this pot t in \ leaky condition. Mio loft Baker's Inland on tho 18th October with l,7<">0 tons guano on hoard, and bhortly afterwards tho vessel was found to bo leaking. She then put into Apia, on tho 1st November, where the cargo was trimmed to port, and she left again on the 8th. 'J he leak however still continued, and sho returned to Apia and discluigod 010 toii3 guano, taking her depaituro again on tho 22nd of January. For a few days tho vessel was tight, but she again began to make watei fast, and Uaptain Genderson at once determined to bear up for Sy.lnoy for repairs. Sho made Sydney Light on tho 18th ultimo, but tho wind f< 11 calm, and bins drifted away to tho southward. She was also in cloao proximity to tho Heads twice afterwards, but on each occasion tho wind died away, and tho curieut took her to tho ■outhwaid of Jei vis Bay. Immediately on his arrival, Captain Genderson sent ou shore for a gang of men, to lelieve his ciew at the pump 1 '. The ship yesteulay waa making ten inches per hour. " From the abovo it will b« noticed that thero is a strange fatality attached to the carrying of cargoes of guano from Baker's Island and " bound to Cork for orders." The Robert, with Baker's Island guann, " bound to Cork for orders," camo to grief and had to put into this port leaking. The Polar Star is chartered to carry on this cargo (which has been discharged here in the meantime), and, aftor getting the cargo safely on board, she Bails still onward " to Cork for orders." But she returns, not in the satno condition us she left this port, but in a like condition to the Robert. Wo next learn that a Norwegian ship, tho Otto Antonie, makes a trial of "Baker's Island guano. She also withea to be "bound to Cork forordeia." But ere she has been many days at sea heroideii are — bear up for tho nearest port, she having sprung a leak, and making from Him, to 12in. of water an hour. Her cargo has tc bo lauded and forwarled on by anothci vessel. Wo shall note with Rome anxietj how tho next vessel will get alom; on hoi voyage "bound to Cork for orders." In th< meautimo wo would suggest to owners o yessel* going to this unlucky Bakei's I-tlam' for guano to havo ifc # stipulated m tfeoi charters thut they may pio<e<d to any por they liko for orders. They may I mil it Jes risky and bettor than being " hound to C'oii for orders."
