Tho vessel was at anchor, and there were no signs Of anybody on dock. But for tho heavy N.W. gale and sea prevailing tho steamer would not have been in that direction, only she had been . obliged to head that way to got under the lea of the land. It was fortunate that she did so, for this alteration in her course proved to be the moans of rescuing tho three lads whose adventures are referred to elsewhere. Tho ship Zealand!* and tho barque Weathersfield will have completed loading for London by tho end of tho week, and are expected to start on tho Homeward voyage about tho same tlrao. Last night tho Zealand!.* had oji board about 8600 bales of wool, C3H casks tallow and marrow and 117 bales of flax. The .WeatheralleUl has already shipped 1500 halos of wool, 930 casks of tallow, and 703 bales of flax. To-day tho barque Onyx will bo placed on the patent slip for cleaning. She afterwards returns to tho Railway Wharf to discharge tho balance of her cargo of timber—about GO,ooCtt. Unloading operations have boon considerably delayed by an accident to the vessel's steam winch, which necessitated it being worked by hand labour. However, tho machinery has now been repaired, and tho timber Is coining out more quickly. Tho barque will return to the Claronco river for another cargo of hardwood for a Now Zealand port. At 1.50 p.m. yesterday the To Anau left for Namur, Gisborne and Auckland. Last evening tho AVaihl was brought round from tho slip. Tho Ifcsketh, with a cargo of 300 tons of produce (of which 210 tons aro for Wellington, and tho balance for Groymouth), arrived from Timaru at ■1.50 yesterday afternoon, having met with dirty weather coming up tho coast. Captain Black takes command of tho steamer to-day, relieving Captain Christian, who, as reported, has been appointed to the steamer Parcora, which Is expected to arrive at Groymouth any day. It will bo remembered that a few weeks ago the barque Mandalay, while beating out of Lyttelton harbour, missed stays oil Taylor's Mistake, and narrowly escaped running ashore, losing an anchor in the endeavour to stop tho vessel’s way. Tho Bh.vw, BaviU and Albion Company, as owners of the vessel, offered £2O for the recovery of tho anchor. Mr Mark Thomas, of the firm of Agar and Thomas, who, by tho way, has been very fortunate at picking up lost anchors, took advantage of one or two lino days, and with a couple of lautch.es uml a chain “swept" for tho lost anchor. One day last week, after a great deal of patience, he 'succeeded in getting hold of something in nine, fathoms of water. A couple of fishermen then swept across tho same spot, and also succeeded in getting a grip. The lines were then brought together, and an iron ring was slipped over their ends. This sinking to tho bottom secured the lines, tq the object below. A ballast lighter was next obtained, and, by means of a derrick and winch, tho anchor, which, with its stock weighed from 32 to 33cwt., was hoisted to tho surface and slung alongside. Tho cable must have parted at the shackle, as there was not a link attached to it. The anchor was taken by the Rotokino to Tiraaru, where thjj Mandalay is loading. COLONIAL OBSERVATORY.
