She hove in sight of Oamaru on Tuesday, 14th inst., and ran into a furious storm when a few miles off. Boisterous weather, accompanied by lightning and thunder, compelled Captain Kunningto put to sea under reduced canvas. The following day she was wearing "W.N.W. about seven miles distant. The storm abating, Captain Kunning altered his course and steered for this port. The Isabella Defraine brings a cargo of superficial feet of kauri timber.
