THE DIRECT ST2AMERS.

Hobabt, June 10.—The s.b. Aorangl, from Plymouth, via Teneriffe and Cape Town, arrived at 7 o'clock this morning, and is to sail at 4 p.m. for Wellington. She brings two passengers for Australia and 43 for New Zealand.

Up to 4 p.m. on Saturday neither arrivals nor departures had been recorded at Port Chalmers. A large vessel was reported on Saturday forenoon 15 miles S.E. of Cape Saunders. A strong S. W. wind set in on Friday, increasing to a gale towards evening, accompanied by heavy snow squalls daring the whole of the night, and on Saturday the gale continued and blew hard during the whole of yesterday. The s.s. Rotorua arrived here at 9 a.tn. yesterday from the north. She left Wellington at 3.30 p.m. on the Bth inst., and arrived at Lyttelton at 7.30 a.m. on the 9th; left again at 1 p.m., passed Aiaroa at 6.30 p.nv, and arrived as above, experienced fine weather to Lyttelton, thence heavy southerly gale and cloudy weather with snow and rain squalls. The steamer Tenterden experienced a fearfully rough passage on her last trip from Newcastle with a coal cargo for Port Pirie. She was passing Montague Island, when a heavy sea broke aboard, sweeping over an able seaman named If. Peterson. The accident happened at 8 o'clock at night. The lifebuoy, with a light attached, was thrown overboard, but the sea was too high to allow of a boat being lowered. No sign was obtained of the deceased, although the vessel steamed round the spot for two hours. Peterson came to the forecastle to take his watch, when ha was struck by the sea and driven against the hatchway. Before the officer reached the deck he was swept overboard, and, it is supposed, in a stunned state. The deceased was unmarried, and was 30 years of age. With reference to tha startling incident near Port Phillip Heads (says the Sydney Herald), when a Sydney passenger on board the steamer Elinganite sprang overboard, an account of tha affair to hand says:—"His name is J. Brown, but little else is known about him, and though he was from Sydney there is reason to believe from certain papers found on him that he is a Victorian, and had been in Melbourne quite recently. During the voyage round he had stated, in conversation with one of the passengers that he had lost all his money at the races in Sydney. He was abstemious, quiet of manner, and amongst his fellow-passengers was considered to be one who, though not plentifully blessed with money, was nevertheless not bo hard up or friendless as to be likely to attempt suicide. When the vesael was nearing the heads he was observed by one of the lady passengerß to jump off the stern without any warning or cry. The alarm of "man overboard' waß raised and responded to quickly by the crew, who in seven minutes had picked the man up and replaced him on the deck. The man died almost immediately after reaching the deck. He was a mm of about 45 or 50 years of age, Bf 18in in height, of medium build, sandy beard, whiskers, moustache, and hair turning grey, and dressed in a dark tweed sac suit, almost new, and a large soft felt hat. There was nothing found whereby to identify him beyond the fact the fact that he had booked in the name of ' J. Brown.1"
