THE MAORI. The ferry steamer Maori anchored in the stream at Ly.tOitun on Satuiday morning at; 9.40. Her anchor was hoifted again at 6.30, just as a strong westerly wind started to riso, which increased with such raplflity that the vessel found it extremely difficult to get through the moles, the wind carrying her out of her courso in the direction of the Heads. She finally reached the inner harhour at 7.10. The captain made several unsuccessful attempts to bring tho vessel alongside No. 3 wharf. The tu* Lyttelton, seeing the vessel in difficulties, went to her assistance, and helped to'ber.h heir, tho operation taking from 7.10 to 9 a.m. In conversation with a representative of tho " Lyttelton Times," Captain Manning stated that it was the most solid westerly wind ho had encountered at Lyttelton since ho had been engaged on the ferry service.
