J WAIMATE'S BOUGH TRIP. Storms of terrific intensity, lasting > ; 26 days, were experienced by the "'NW ; Zealand Shipping Company's steamer W'irimate, which arrived at Auckland oilThursday morning last from London •«« Panama. The vessel left London cr, January 22, and no sooner had sho cleared • the Thames than she ran into a howling gale, accompanied by huge seas, which - broke. aboard the vessel in an alarming ■ manner. Sho was tossed about like a cork, and on the run acro=s the Atlantis to Newport. News was " hove, to" o<\ several occasions. One of tho crew wsij caught in a lurch of the. ship and thrown into a doorway, and before he could recover himself the door crushed one of . his feet almost into pulp. A week out from Newport News a trimmer named P. . Donnelly, who was endeavoring te clear a jnmb in the bunkers, was buried alive through many ions of coal falling on him. After three and a-half hoars' digging bis dead body was recovered, and" on° the following day he was buried at sea. In addition to this, a third member of the crew contracted fever, and had to be t put ashore at Newport News. Several of the plates in the Waimatc were damaged, and these had to be lepaired before she was able te resume her 1 voyage. After clearing Newport News fine weather was experienced until March 31. when the steamer again met with t heavy weather, but did not sustain any damage. (For continuation see Late Shipping.)
