A three-masted schooner has anchored in the roadstead. She is supposed to be the Elderslie, from Wellington. . There was but one entry at the Customs yesterday, the brigantine Esther from Oamaru. The steamer Manawatu left for Wanganui yesterday at 5 p.m. with a large general cargo. The Phoebe left the wharf at 3.30 yesterday afternoon for Picton, Nelson, Taranaki, and Manukau. The steamer Napier sailed last evening for Foxton. She had a large general cargo, including Mr. Peter Stewart’s locomotive. The ships The Douglas and Helen Denny, and barque Oneco are landing their cargoes rapidly, and in excellent condition. In marked contrast to the previous day, when no fewer than eight vessels arrived, the ketch XXX was the only craft that troubled the signalman yesterday. The schooner Aurora sailed last night for the East Coast with fencing wire and station stores. She will load wool for Wellington, The brigantine Enterprise will sail this morning for the same destination The ketch Falcon will sail for Blenheim to-night. Burning of the American Ships Centaur and Mogul.—We have received information by the Coronet from Tahiti of the .destruction of two large American ships by fire. Strange to relate, both vessels were built in the same year, belonged to the same owner, left the same port together, with similar cargoes, bound for the same place. Both vessels were destroyed by fire in the Pacific Ocean within two hundred miles of each other, about the same time, and the survivors reached Tahiti and the Marquesas within a few days of one another, the boats having traversed a distance of 1200 miles, and both crews met in Papeete before the Coronet left^jmdLlefni^^nS^gghterrbwned^by Messrs. 3. Henry Sears - and Co., of Boston, and commanded by Captain N. F. Foster. She sailed from Liverpool for San Francisco with a full cargo of coal. A fire broke out on board amongst the cargo, probably owing to spontaneous combustion, and after all efforts to stay the progress of the flames had failed, all hands took to the boats (three in number). Shortly after leaving the ship the boat containing the captain, the stewardess, and several of the crew was seen to go down by those on board the other boats, who were unable to render assistance. After several days’ knocking about the two remaining boats parted company, and the one in charge of the second officer reached Tahiti after suffering considerably from privations and exposure during the twenty days since they had abandoned the ship. The distance traversed was reckoned to be 1200 miles. The chief officer’s boat not arriving, was feared to have shared the same fate as the captain’s, but before the Coronet left Tahiti, news reached Tahiti that the chief officer and boat’s crew had safely landed at the Marquesas Islands. The Centaur was built under special survey in 1860, at East Boston, and was classed A 1 at the American Lloyds. With regard to the other vessel which shared the same fate as the Centaur, we leam that her name was the Mogul, a ship of 1365 tons register, belonging also to Messrs. 3. H. Sears and Co., of Boston, and commanded by Captain Freeman. She also left Liverpool for San Francisco with a cargo of coal on the same day as the Centaur. She took fire within 1200 miles of Tahiti, and the fire gaining such hold of the vessel, the officers and crew were compelled to abandon her and take to the boats. Both • boats arrived together safely at Tahiti without parting company, afterundergoing great suffering. The Mogul was a wooden vessel, built at Kennebunk in 1869, and was classed AI in the second grade of the American Lloyds. In collecting these particulars we have been unable to obtain any dates, —New Zealand Herald , November 7. Another Serious Shipping Disaster. We leam by the arrival of the Coronet, from Taliiti, that a large American vessel has put into Papeete in distress, having sprung a leak at sea. She is the Enoch Talbot, ship, of 1235 tons register, owned by Mr. H. A. Stevens, of Boston, and commanded by Captain E. S. Talbot. She was bound from Baker's Island with a cargo of guano for Cork "for orders.” The leak gaining upon them, she was compelled to bear for the nearest port for the safety of the officers and crew. On arrival in Papeete harbor the ship was making eight inches of water per hour. The vessel has since been condemned, and was for sale when the Coronet left. According to Lloyds' register, she was built at Freeport, Memphis, in 1857, and is classed in the American Lloyds as Al third grade, —New Zealand Herald, November 7.
