SHORT OF COAL.
[by telegraph.-— association.] Wellington, Sunday. The British cargo steamer Lodorer, bound from Buenos Ayres to Newcastle, put into Wellington on Saturday night for coal. She had only 15 tons left, barely enough for one day. The River Plate was left on August 26, and two days out the ship ran into a gale. About 150 tons of water were pumped into the after hold to steady her, and later, as the sea became heavier, another 300 tons was taken in - This served to keep the propeller submerged, and gave a chance of steering. The officers and crew are all well.
