The Ketch Maid of tqe Mill.—The ketch Maid of the Mill, Thomas Short master and owner, which returned to port at the lutt&r part of last week, has h'-id a rncst tuprecedented nm of bad luck, and the only is that Tom Shoit lias been able to brio? her in at all. A brief account from his lips shens the trcubie and sufferings «xptrience*:l by himself and mate (Miliis)The ketch left here in b:Jlast for the Bay cf Islands for a of 00*1. somewhere about ten weeks ago. V,'e got as f;tr as Cape Brett after a deal of knocking about, when it c .rae on to blow a gale of wind from ;he 'NV.N'.'W., and we were driven right back again to Auckland, after an absence of three weeks. \Vhen the weather moderated we made another attempt, and this time reached Bream Head. Another gale of wind was encountered, and after blowing away sails, *cc , the ketch was dismasted off the Hen and Chickens, the mizonmast being blown clean away. We had to run before it, and barely managed to make Tryphena Bay in the Barrier. Here we set to work and cut a spar in the bush, shaped it, and made another inizeninast. White in the bay more heavy -nvather from the westward was experienced, 'and we wore driven on shore aud the rudder carried away. Got her off with little damage. Made and rigged a new rudder, and took in a cargo of firewood for Auckland, having now given up the idea cf proceeding to the Bay of Islands. Another gale of wind sprang up, and th-i vessel parted her anchor and was arain driven on the rocks, doing much darnace to her bull. .Lightened her and got her erf again, and prepared to put to sea. The wind came down again strong juntas we were kedging her out, and she capsized," and a greater portion of her cargo washed out of her. A tresnendorj surf wa3 breaking at the time, and we tinted to see th« vessel bra;k up. Towed her in to shallow water, and afterwards obtained the assistance of the cutter Mary Ann in righting her. The rudder v.* 13 again carried away and the new rnizenmast sprung. After a great tl-.-al of trouble and anxiety made another fetart for Auckland harbour, the vessel leaking considerably. Were corapeJled to keep the pump going th* whole of the t:m.*, the vessel being more than half full of water. Mi.de the passage in 27 hours. On. Saturday Ku beached her at Devonport, North ?rho:e, after having experienced a v*;ry trying time of it. iter lower plaking on th-: port side is ground away by the rooks, and the starboard aidevery much chafed. Her sail- are all blown to pieces. The vessel will require considerable repairs before she .vi 1 bi enabled to go to sea again. These wiJJ be effected by Mcsir*. . w irns and brown, shipbuilder. The fact that Tom Short h:.3 brought his vessel bick to port after all the dan>er3 and difficulties encountered by him and his mate, t>peaka very highly to thtir credit, and is a proof of their indomitable pluck and perseverance.
