Per Press Association. IjUNEDTX. May 30. The sailing ship Glsnlui bound from Adelaide to Conception Bay on the West Coast of South America, with a cargo u« 24 860 bags of wheat, was sighted from Cape. Saunders shortly before 1 p.m. tortav making for Oiago Heads under shortened sail, and was making slow progress. When the Glenlui was -ome six mil?s off she signalled for a pilot and the Pluccy an once went out to her. The Plucky took her in tow and a signal was made to the Heads for the services of a second tug, which was taken on shore as an indication that sometliing was seriously wrong. The Kopirtai steamed rapidly from Port Chalmers, and went out to sea, and assisted in towing the vessel, which had water in her hold, and was drawing 23ft. It was ascertained that the vessel had fallen in with a violent westerly gale when off the Snares on Monday night. Her bulwarks, stanchions and deck structures were smashed and washed overboard by the force of the gale, and the cabin fittings were cketroyed. The heavy seas which swept over "the distressed vessel got down the hold through the cabin and water speedily accumulated, damaging the cargo and stores. During the height of the gale, the mate was washed overboard and drowned, and the ship's sails werv torn to ribbons. The mates name was Jones, but his Christian name was not ascertainable. He shipped on the vessel at Adelaide. When the gale abated Captain Scott set all hands' to the pumps, and when the Glenlui reached the Head;; tha water in the Jiold, by hard and continuous pumping." had been reduced from three feet to 15 inch-is. The captain and crew lost, nearly alt their clothes-, and all the boats except one. which is much damaged, were washed away. The v?s?el left Adelaide on May 12th with a cargo of wheat, and it isr probable that as much of this has been damaged by water, she will have to discharge at- Port Chalmers, and will possiblv go into dock for repairs.
