SCOW’S EXCITING VOYAGE.
Sydney, Aug. 13. The scow Catlikit reports an exciting sixty-three days’ voyage from New Zealand. She sailed on June 10 with a cargo of timber. Terrific storms and gales were encountered. Huge seas continually swept over the vessel, badly straining the ship and moving the cargo. The pumps worked incessantly. At one time the vessel was right off her course 500 miles east of Norfolk Island. Another night- during the gale she struck a submerged object with terrific force, but was unable to ascertain the cause. Oil bags were used with good results.
