THE GLENLORA.

Consequent upon the discourteous conduct and the -absolute refusal of the master of the barque Glenlora to supply our reporter, upon application on Wednesday evening, with any information respecting his vessel, we were unable to give the passenger list in our yesterday's issue. Owing to the (.uurteey of the agents, Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., we are now able to give* the following list of those on board : — Mr. E. S. Driver, James Lawes, Elizabeth Good■win, Patrick, Edward, Denis, William Henry, James Patrick, and Francis T. Wheelan ; Mrs. E. Tanner, Alfred Thomas, Emily Thomas, Charles Ayling, Charles Grascott, F. W. Bankier, Ernest M. Kipping, Hugh Pierce, John Bell, Charles Moore. It was our intention not to liave again referred to the master of the Glenlora, in our columnß, but the insultiDg manner in which cur reporter was received when he went alongside the vessel on the night of her arrival has created so much attention in shipping circles, and comments have been bo freely expressed upon the matter, that we feel it only right to give our readers some additional information upon the subject. When our reporter's boat reached the ship. Captain Murray, the pilot in charge, at once gave orders for a line to be paaßed to the boat, but before the orders could be executed the voice of the master of the vessel wa3 heard ordering the line to be hauled aboard, " Two men to lay aft and to quickly swamp' that boat alongside; smash a hole through her with a stone, or anything yon can lav your hands, and be smart, lads." Our reporter told the captain he had letters, &C for him, but the only reply he could obtain was, "Its a lie," and to clear away from the ship's sido at once. This took place whilst the vessel was coming up harbour. "Upon the anchor being dropped off the QueenWharf, our reporter again went alongside, and asked the captain if he had any report for the Herald. The reply was " No." Again the captain was informed thit our reporter had his letters etc., with him, but again received the same answer. That the captain of the Glenlora knew that it was a reporter alongside, we have the distinct evidence of Captain Murray, who told the captain who it was that was alongside, aid what was required. In spite of this, the -. n tain has now the effrontery to say thas he was ,ware who was in the boat. As we have already remarked, it is much to be regretted that the captain of the Glenlora did not show a Stele more knowledge of common courtesy. rm.,, g a lons, from Whangarei, arrived last erenins'w'ith a number of passengers, and a cargo of 45 sackß gum, 30 kegs butter, and 2 tons sun<cbiefc
