AN OVERDUE VESSEL.
—— THREE WEEKS OUT FROM PORT CHALMERS. . [Per Press Association.] ' GISBORNE, Jan. TO. The barque Grace Haxwar is just three ■masks out to-day from Otago Heads to Gisborne, and there is some speculation in shipping circles as to the cause of her nonarrival, especially as the weather has been favourable. In the first week of,her voyage there were strong south-easterly winds, which should have brought her here, and, if, as is suggested, the captain kept off land owing to heavy seas, the subsequent north-easterly weather should have brought her in again. The other supposition is that ■ a mistake was made in the receipt of orders at Otago Heads, andl that the vessel is making her course for another and more distant port. A full cargo of wool is awaiting the vessel’s arrival.
