Few additional details are to hand concern- j ing the fate of the passenger lost from the I s.s. Tarawera, on her recent voyage from Wellington to Sydney. The steamer had a very rough-weather passage across, westerly {tales having assailed the steamer from the moment she cleared Cape Farewell right across to the Australian coast, ierrino seas repeatedly found their way on board, but did no damage to speak of. the Tarawera showing her seagoing qualities to advantage. On the morning of the 9th instant a steerage passenger, named .fohn Eitzsimmons, who | had ttook from Lyttelton to Sydney, was ] missed from his berth, and the mustering of the passengers made it clear that the man j had gone overboard. No person seems to ! have seen him disappear, and nothing posi-! tire is known as to the manner in which tli* ! fatality was brought about. It was dirtv weather at the time. About half-past four o'clock yesterday morning the Union S.S. Co.'s Manapouri, Captain Logan, arrived from Sydney with j passengers and a cargo of sundries and coal. ! Mr. McLennan, the purser, reports of the j trip. The Manapouri left Circular Quay, Sydney, at 1.5 a.m.. and cleared Port Jack- I sou at '2 a.m. on Friday, the Hth inst. She j had very strong S.E. winds and heavy head ! seas from the outset, and these continued right throughout the passage with frequent rain squalls. The Manapouri passed a barque bound west at Sa.m. on the lstli ; a steamer (supposed to be the Alameda) Iwund west at 10.15 a.m., and a brigantine steering west at C p.m. The Three Kings were abeam at 2 a.m. on the 21st. The steamer rounded North Cape at 7.10 a.m. on Tuesday, passing Cape Brett at 3.30 o'clock in the afternoon, the wind still S.E. .Seas increased and retarded progress very much till she passed the Hen and Chickens at 10 p.m. She signalled a steamer bound N.W. at 10.40 p.m., and another going the same way at midnight. She passed Tiritiri at 2.20 a.m. yesterday, and arrived at the Railway Wharf as above. The barque Brunette has been fixed by Messrs. C. F. James and Co. to load coal at Newcastle for this port. Messrs. Arundel and Co. will despatch the barque Vivid on Friday to Enderbury Island for a load of guano for this port. The schooner Agnes Donald, now discharging produce from Napier, will load here with timber for Dunedin. The Kentish Lass, _ barque, bound from Hokianga to Sydney with timber, is making a long passage, and may be considered to be overdue. She left the North Auckland port on June 21, and is therefore f>o days out today.

lii the Herald of the 17th instant appeared a brief account of a voyage from Cornwall to Australia by a party of three men in a fishing smack, which quite anticipated Captain Jorgeiwen's Storm King exploit. Confirmatory intelligence of this came to hand unexpectedly yesterday, -Mrs. .S. Rowe, of New Plymouth, writing us that her cousin, Samuel I'lam trier and William Catron, formed two of the adventurous trio of " the fifties," and that not only did they make the outward trip in safety, but meeting with illluck at the goldfields, negotiated the return passage also without mishap, being welcomed at Penzance by their wondering fellow-towns-people. Cable advices informs us that the ship Main Bhau, which last year made a trip to the South, has been chartered to load general merchandise at London for this port. Messrs. Donald and Eden borough's island steamer Little Agnes is shipping stores and timber for the Hervey Croup, and v. ill probably get away for P»arotonga to-mor-row.

The strong easterly winds blowing are detaining the barque Alice and brigantiue Prosperity in port. Shortly after seven o'clock yesterday the J locally-owned brigantine Defiance, Captain Johnson, arrived in port from Wollongong, New South Wales, with a full cargo of coal, and proceeded under easy sail to the Sugar Works at Chelsea, where she is to discharge. She left the coal port on the 9th instant, and had moderate to fresh winds till making the New Zealand Coast, when tierce S.K. and K. winds were met with, accompanied by cold showery weather and high seas. The Coptic arrived' at Rio de Janeiro on her way to New Zealand on Sunday, HEAVY WEATHER. Recently-arrived sailing vessels at Sydney report heavy weather in the Southern Ocean. The report of the Nat una barque, Glasgow to Sydney, states : —On May 6, between N.E. and N.W., a whole gale overtook the ship, and for several days mountainous seas broke over the ship, and the decks were constantly under water, the vessel taking it in on both sices. The foretopgaliant sail carried awav, and minor damage was done. On the lsth May a storm of terrific force from the S.E. set in, the ship labouring and straining in the wild breaking waters. The main lower topsail blew clean from the boltropes, and the fury of the storm vented itself for several hours. S.E. winds, alternating between moderate gale to a strong gale, continued to the 20th May ; vessel's position 40 degrees S. and 35 degrees E. Westerly and southerly weather followed to June 4, when another whole with heavy cross sea set in, and the iSatuna took it over the forecastle head, with heavy breaking sea on the weather side. At (i p.m. a" dangerous high sea broke over the ship, injuring one of the crew, and making the ship shake as though she had struck on a rock One immense body of water fell right down on her a fearful crash, and the great marvel is that numbers of the crew were not injured, and the ship badly damaged. The Thomas S. Stowe, from New York to Newcastle, bad similar experiences, and one of her crew was severely injured by being clashed across the deck and jammed.

THE BARQUE ZODIAC. The following additional details concerning the wrecked barque Zodiac come to hand by the Mauapouri'a mail from Sydney. " She

had a cargo of '2S"J,oLK) feet of sawn kauri pine. The hull was insured with the British anil Australian New Zealand Company for 11, ami the cargo was covered by policies as- follows South British, £600 ; New South Wales Corporation, £370; and the. British and Australian New Zealand Company, £•><"• Captain Andersen, who is part owner of the vc.vi'l, had his wife and two children on l o iri!. The following are the crew : — V\ m. M.

The last two named were shipped in Sydney in May »ast, the rest having shipped at'Kaipara. THE S.S. MONOWAI. Referring to the visit of the Union S.S. Co. new steamship M>>nowai to Melbourne an exchange says :— '* The Union Steamship Company of New Zealand have ever responded to the requirements of the travelin- public, and their fleet of beautifullyappointed steamers has long been regarded as lie most perfect of the floating palaces t south of the line. The queen oi the whole fleet, however, is undoubtedly the Monowai, which arrived at the MelU.urne wharf on Wednesday last from Glasgow. via New Zealand. This vessel, as she lay at the wharf, with her clean dark-green sides lifting high above the vessels berthed near her, attracted universal admiration, for a more perfect picture of naval architecture has never been seen in the waters of the port. 'I lie Monowai was to be thrown open for public inspection during her stay there. NEW SHIPS. That there is still a healthy demand for first-class sailing vessels is manifest, by the following record : — A new steel sailing ship now in course of construction at the yard of Messrs. R. Williamson and Sons, W orkington, has been sold. She will register 2450 tons, and is expected to carry about 3SOO tons dead eight; class 100 Al. Dimensions: Length. 303-7 feet; breadth, -12-2 feet ; depth, 24 i! feet. The price realised is said to be ill 10s per ton register. Two new steel ships, for Messrs. Thomson, Dickie, and Co.. of Glasgow and Loudonderry. contracted lot- in November last, are now building at Messrs. Russell and Co. s yard. Port Glasgow. One of these vessels, which is to be called the Culmore, will cost i'i!'.7so. Similar vessels to these can now be i u:\h.ised at considerable lower tigures. Another splendid Italian-built ship has been added" to the mercantile marine of that country. The steel sailing vessel Francisco Ciampa. built at Sest'.i, Italy, for the firm of Ciampa. of Castellamare, has been launched within a year after the laying of her keel. She is '.'44 feet long, and her masts, yards, an-i b >wsprit are ot steel. _ A steel barque, built to the order of Mr. amis Nourse.'of Umdon, lias been launched by the Grangemoutu Dockyard Company, Keiiiclunk 'Her dimensions are: Length, •>-.n-"* e -- beam, 37' feet; and depth of hold, ■51 The' Ktrjue registers 1400 tons.
