TELEGRAPHIC SKIPPING.
Sydney, June 3. Arrived — Rotorua. Auckland, June 3. Arrived — Wellington, barque, from Samoa, on her way to San Francisco from Newcastle, having sprung a leak. After a survey, she was condemned, and sold to a speculator, who brought her safely here with 500 tons of coal and pait of her original cargo. Lyttelton, June 3. The ketch Margaret, that left here seven weeks ago for the Amnri, Bluff, returned to port to-day. She was driven off the land and experienced a succession of gales. The crew endured great privations. The allowance of food was reduced to two potatoes and an egg cup fall of water eaoh for ten days. For five days they were without food or water. On Saturday the schooner Cora, of Dunedin, gave them provisions, and on Sunday the Spray, schooner, sighted them. Captain Ruxter stood by the ketch all night, and towed her into the harbor thia morning. The Margaret is not damaged at all, the only loss she sustained was that of her head sail.
