' The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's fine steamship Waiwera, under the command of Captain Stuart, arrived at-Fort Chalmers f yesterday afternoon, and was berthed at the George street pier. The Waiwera comes into port in first-eta order, and reflects credit not only on the commander, but also upon his subordinate officers. Tim. slaif arc:—Chief officer, Mr J. Chaworth Mus- ! ters; second, Mr W. Moore Thompson; • third, Mr H. C. Alien; chief steward, Mr - L. Sutherland. The charge of the engines devolves upon Mr 11. G, Paul as chief, . wlio is seconded by Mr T. S. Wright; tho j third and fourth engineers being Messrs A. L. Mauard and J. M'Kenzie. The chief • refrigerating engineer \i Mr J. Cormaek, , with Mr O.

The chief officer, with six able seamen, went very promptly to the rescue, - and under the space of thrco minutes the man was picked up, while under 30 minutes tho Waiwera retimed her passage across the . Indian Ocean. Thic was pretty smart work i indeed. The ship brought with her some valuable stud sheep on her fore deck for Tasmania and New Zealand. Several of t those weic lost oft* the Cape. Some of the rams were very valuable, one being priced at 400 guineas. The Waiwera reached Wei- ( lington on December 17, and after landing 117 passengers worked her way down the coast. She discharged some 2600 tons of cargo at Wellington and 2220 tons at Lvttelton.
