STBAMEB IN DIFFICULTIES.

BUEFETED ffOR THREE DAYS. (Pes United Pbess Association.) AUCKLAND, August 21. A large steamer, which left New Zealand on August 8. met the full force of an easterly gale, and for three days was buffeted about, being sometimes broadside-on. This waa due to the water putting out some of the fire*. The pumps were started, but became choked, and soon the water rose above the stokehold plates, and prevented the firemen from keeping up the fires. The steamer by this time had lost headway, and kept falling into the trough of the sea. Feara were entertained for the vessel's safety, but after three days' hard work the crew and the engine-room staff overcame the difficulty.
