A tale of mountainous seas and roaring gales was told by the crew oi the Argyllshire when she arrived at Melbourne. While ten days away from Melbourne she struck heavy weather, and ran before a fierce westerly gale. A big wave overtook the steamer, and broke across the stern, smashing in the door of the stewards’ quarter, flattening out the rail on the deck, and breaking and shifting several tons of winding gear. When another big sea struck the vessel, a quantity of boiling fat was thrown over a cook. He died from the burns next day, and was buried at sea. When three days out from Liverpool two stowaways were discovered in a bunker. They were two boys aged 16 and 17, and had been without food for three days. One was put to work on deck, while the other was sent below to trim. 'They were landed at Melbourne and went to work on a farm. AT OTHER PORTS. PORT NELSON, September 19.
