The tug Plucky was floated oat of the graving dock yesterday evening, and her place will be taken up by the dredge Progress to-morrow.

There was an exceptionally low tide last nigh*, the rise being only 4ft lin on the gauge. When the Warximoo came into port this forenoon she was drawing 20ft lOin, and owing to the low tido she had to lighten. The cause is attributable to the action of the wind. With the present easterly breeze the rise was only 4ft lin, but a few days since, with a fresh southerly breeze, there was Bft lin on the gang©. When the Indracrhrri left Duraedm for Sydney on the 28th nit. she was in light tain, and additiortflj details with regard to her passage show that she had a bad time. After clearing Cook Strait the first t>f tfce bad weather was experienced. As fije vessel left the New Zealand coast gales from north-west, west, and soothwest raged with great fury. The wind in the squalls reached almost hurricane force, and the accompanying moantainone seas caused the vessel to knock about to an alarming degree. So bad were the conditions that the steamer for a time onlv made between two and three knots per hour, the engines racing consideTaWy, owing to the big seas. The officers state that they have never before experienced such weather. The eteamer had all her work to hold her own in the battle with the elements, until rearing the-New South Wales coast, when fine weather set in. According to the latest advices, the Danish barque C. Paulsen is long overdue at Monte Video, and has been withdrawn from the list as uninsurable. The barque, which is known in New Zealand, left Cuxhayen. Hermanv, at the end of January

this year. : She was bufll of iron at Nantes, France, tbirty-aix yeara ago and ■was of 700 tons net register. The steamer Waiwera, the first of the new line of vessels trading to West of England txprts, left Wellington on Friday morning with the following cargo :—From Wellington : 3,336 carcasses mutton, 2,883 haunches mutton, 596 bags shoulders mutton, 500 quartern beef, 124 boxes kidneys, 6;531 carcasses lamb, 150 cases beef, 250 bales tow, 740 bales hemo, '8 bales tallow, 7 bales wool, 31 packages sundries. *rom Waitara: 600 boxes beef.

The Potosi, one of the mercantile marine drill ships with which Germany is wresting the sea-carrying trade from England, carries 8,000 tons dead weight. As an example of the skill with which she is worked by the boys who are trained on her, Mr Bullen states that she has made eleven voyages round the Horn from Germany to Valparaiso, carrying two cargoes at an average of five months and twenty days. This works out an average of eleven knots an hour for a sailing ship. A Press Association message states that the Auckland-owned ketch Rock Lily was driven ashore at the mouth of the Wade River at midnight on Sunday during a strong gale. She was on her way to Auckland from Ngnnguru. She lies on a sandbank, and is not in any immediate danger. A SCHOONER'S ADVENTURES. The little schooner Medora, which is bound from Auckland to Dunedin with a cargo of timber, and which nut into Lyttelton weather-bound last Thursday week, returned on Sunday for the same reason. She left Lyttelton at 10 a.m. last Tuesday, and encountered strong southerly winds ajid heavy seas that day and tibe day following, and on the Wednesday was hove-to off Banks Peninsula. About 1 a.m. on Thursday about 12ft of the bulwarks in the bluff of the bow on the starboard side wore carried 3wav by the sea. The wealther moderated slightly on Thursday, but early on Friday morning a strong eou'-west gale came on, and the flange of the pump was carried away. The vessel was then.about eighteen miles south-west of Akaroa Heads. Contain Sturrah endeavored to make for Timaru, but could not oV so, and so decided to run for Lyttelton, which was reached without further jni*;hap on Sunday morning. The schooner sailed ny> the harbor, and drowned anchor inside -the Gladstone pier in th,e afternoon. Repairs will be carried out here, and she will resume her much-inter-rupted passage on the first favorable opportunity.—' Press.' 1 NEW COLLIERS FOR WESTPORT. Captain G.
