LATE SHIPPING

SAlLED.—February 2L Orari, s.s., 7,207 tons, Foffididk# Bluff. Orari, e.e., sailed from BcrfChfilnwia late this afternoon to start her Homeward loading at the Bluff. The Norwegian iron barque HJoKtoj now at the Victoria wharf, t was forssneOT the English 'barque Nairnshire, and Is Said to have brought passengers te NewZeg* land under that name. She was bunk iff 1876. Her present owner is W. D. Hupsen, who owns four or five other' eauUtg vessels. KNIGHT OF THE GARTER, A BIG JOB. DAMAGE EXTENSIVE. When the dock waa pumped dor thfjl afternoon it waa seen, that the steemsT Knight of the Garter had received extensive damage when she ran ashore In Bluff Harbor. The rudder post from the 17fl draught mark downwards is missing, and as It has been snapped off close to the plates where it joins the hull at keel level, the removal of life stem frame (a big job) is likely to be necessary. Sle damage to the bottom is principally confined to the midships section, but dents on the port side are numerous, and the water rushed out through some half-dozen of th* deeper indentations. One leak was doss to the keel plate, which was damaged so severely that it did not rest on the keel block. Water was also squirting through two dents in the run aft on the pert side. Repairs, it is roughly computed, will take from one to two months. The exact extent of the damage will not be known, toll tlio surveyors have completed their examination. THE DIRECT STEAMERS.
