The captain states that the storm came tip rather suddenly without any forewarning from either thennometer or barometer. The foremast and fotetopmast were carried away, together with several sails. While the tempest was at its height, the captain and crew witnessed it making a plaything of the foremast, shaking it on one side and then on the other. They wondered by what means the rigging was held together, as the mast was apparently being tossed about When the storm ended, Captain Bcelsen intended to continue on hi* course to San Francisco, but soon changed his mind to go to Honolulu, the nearest port, for repairs. Good weather was had the remaining part of the voyage. The vessel was being repaired when the Monowai left. AN AUSTRALIAN-BOON D SHIP DISMASTED. Captain Bennett, of the well-known Australian trading ship Loch Vennacher, has forwarded an account of the terrible smash up to his fine vessel on 3d June in 40' S>, 27. £~ when on & voyage from Glasgow. As previous advices have intimated, he bore up for the Mauritius after the disaster, and it is from Port Louis he has forwarded the following account After describing the weather just preceding the catastrophe, he says — At 6.15 a.m., just as daylight was coming in, saw a tremendous sea coming along right down on the port bow. I called out to * hold on' everyone, and it rolled right over the ship. It was a God's mercy that we were uot all swept away. The sea swept the decks clean of everything movable, and smashed in the galley door. One cook was washed overboard, and another was shot up through the skylight When we picked ourselves up it was seen that the masts were gone, except the mizzenmast and npper and lower mizzen topsail yards. The crossjack yard fell across the mizzen rigging, and carried that all away except two shrouds. Well, it was no time to think, and ail baste was made to cut away and secure what available wreckage we could. The galley was completely gutted, and we had a bad time of it. The ship lay in the trough of the sea until 14th June, when thecrnssjack yard was set up again, and sails were bent. Uot her out of the trough of the sea, and she rolled the cargo in the fore and after 'tween decks adrift. She had a list of about 3J feet, and so had to throw some pig iron and pipes overboard, to get at the other cargo and secure jt She used to roll 45 and 46 degrees, until the chain cables were got up and lashed along the deck. Had a most awful time of it, and it was a hard matter to keep one's feet, the rolling was so heavy. The mizzen rigiing lanyards were continually parting owing to the heavy rolling, so got some 4$ lanyard rope, the same that is used for main rigging. Had to make starboard mizzen rigging out of hauling lines (wire), and when the weather got line a jury foremast was rigged. It was made out ot a spare topgallant and royal mast and the sprung upper mizzen topsail yard was used for a foreyard. The cause of the disaster was the seas washing in the port fore bulwarks from the forecastle to abaft the forerigging, and carrying away the chain plates and bulwark stanchions. Of course, when the foremast had no supper over it went, taking the mainmast with it, and also the muczen topmast just above the cap. Well, alter battering about until 20th June we gave up trying for Melbourne, as I had to keep the ship before the wind when I had a breeze, and she would not steer with the wind before the beam. I knew what a risk I should be running coming on the Australian coast in the winter time, whereas by making for Mauritius we should have finer weather. Well, I had not a chart of the place, only the island marked on the Southern Indian chart, but the sailing directions were in Findlay's Directory. We looked a perfect wreck on arrival. The starboard bulwarks were set out about 2 feet from the perpendicular from the weight of water and wreckage of masts and spars. Thank God, we are here safe, but we did have a bad time of it down South. The Admiral of the Boadicea flagship) and his officers visited tne ship, and complimented us on bringing the ship in, although in such a plight." PORT OF ONEHUNGA.
