The winds have been light ami variable and the sailer's progress has accordingly, it is presumed, been rendered ■* .low. A Home cargo steamer, apparently * too Mfaniro, arrived off Waitara yes- > tsrday afternoon, to load frozen t neat «nd produce. ( / An exciting incident took place off r*~~Ti»l-tirl on Tuesday morning as the £' snip Thornlrebank was getting her ti~. anchors ready to anchor when port J- was made. During these prepara- *■" Hons the sail-maker fell overboard I rrom the forecastle head into the t Ma. A lifebuoy was thrown over t lo him, which he fortunately succeeded in getting hold of, and a 1 boat being promptly lowered from *' toe ship, ho was picked up, but in an exhausted condition.—Herald. On August 31 a bottle was thrown overboard from the Union Co.'a f steamer Moana, employed in the Canadian-Australian mail service, when about 200 miles from Vancout ver (8.C.). A paper was enclosed ,} in tie bottle, stating the circumstances, and asking the finder of the bottle to post the contents to the London office of the Canadian-Aus-tralian line, mentioning the date and place where found. The bottle jraS found by an Indian on Dec. 26 on the shore of the Pacific, about Biz miles south of Cape Flattery, at the entrance to Juan dc Fuca Strait. It was handed over to the superintendent of the United States Inland Service, who forwarded the Contents to the London office of the Canadian-Australian line. The bottle must have drifted exactly in the route of the steamer, as the lloana Was then making for Vancouver, and would pass close to Cape Flattery in entering Juan de Fuca Strait. Wellfcigton, March 17—Sailed, Tur•Jdna, for London, at 5.20 p.m.
