SEVENTY-ONE TEAKS AGO.

The Warren Goddard made a splendid run of 5 days from Launceston, and has landed her cargo of horses in magnificent condition; in fact they looked when beinglanded as if they had been just turned out of the stable after a good grooming,. . . The loss of such vessels as the “ Victory,” . “ Pirate,” “ Oscar,” “ Don Pedro,” and “Tyne,” within a few weeks of each other, —all on their way from. Otago to neighbouring ports—is likely to create a feeling of utter dismay La the minds of shipowners and insurers as soon as the present brief season of demand is over. True, the cause that hasconduced to the loss of each vessel has, to a certain extent, been elucidated, and does not suggest any peculiar danger in. Otago or its vicinage, but the fact of the losses remains, and their origin is not in one > instance explained by the skilled inquiries which alone to nautical minds would prove satisfactory. Magisterial , investigations, though sufficiently don-, elusive to persons on shore, are utterly inconclusive to those who regard nautical matters with eyes nautical.
