Miscellaneous Shipping

The NORTH is a very fine ship, extremely well adapted for transport Service, for which she was engaged by the authorities. On September 4 she sailed from London, and was towed to Plymouth, which place was reached on the 7th. There 426 persons embarked, and on the 11th the vessel proceeded on her voyage. At 5 p.m. of that date a departure was taken from the Eddystone, though the wind was very light. No strong breeze set in until September19, __ when a South-Western commenced, and it continued for four day a with extreme violence. In the height of the gale the vessel was hove-to for a considerable time, but on the 24th fine weather followed, and in 30° N. the trades were felt. On September 28 a seaman was in the hold either breaking out stores or issuing water when a tank moved and crushed him to death. From September 29 to October 3 there was a light trade, which failed in 9° 39' N., giving place to variables, calms, and occasional squalls, during which the Line was crossed on October 10 in 23' 50' W. Referring to the report of the ship Glance it will be seen that this was the same date and longitude as hers. On that day the barque Wimmera was in company, bound from London to Melbourne, and so well matched were the craft's sailing qualities that for 20 days they kept close companionship. Sometimes the Wimmera head reached a little, and in a strong breeze the North had the advantage, until 40° 5O' S. 5° 18' E., on October 31, when a heavy gale separated the vessels. On October 11 the Haggerstone was signaled, bound from Liverpool to Callao. As she approached the North observed the signal F.D. flying, which meant ' Want immediate medical assistance. ' A boat was at once lowered, and the immigrant ship's doctor sent on a mission of mercy. Before he reached the vessel it was found, however, that the flags had been transposed, and what was supposed to been urgent demand was intended for 'What ship is that ?' On October 12, in 4°8' S., 26° 4' W., the barque Croydon was spoken, bound from Chili to Swansea. The opportunity was taken to send about 350 letters. On the 17th Trinidad was sighted, and on the 18th the trades were lost On the 20th she spoke the Loch Ranza, supposed to be from Melbourne, bound north; and on the same day a south-west wind set in, which lasted until the 24th, when it fell back to variables, and remained thus two days. On the 26th the vessel had a lively time, for the barometer gave notice of an approaching gale. It first dropped to 29-15, then to 28-70, finally reaching 28-60, so the sails were taken in by degrees and well secured. A sudden shift of wind from north to south-south-west blew a couple of topsails into shreds. At much personal risk some hands cut the sails from the yards, and during the storm the ship scudded under extremely low canvas before a wild and mountainous sea. The low estrange the glass reached was 29-15, but next day the weather moderated and the vessel again lay on her course. On the 28th a strong west wind was attended by sharp hail-squalls, as two days after the ship crossed the prime meridian in 40° 21' S. On November 3 she was off the Cape in 42° 59', and the highest latitude reached was 43° 45. During the passage of the Southern Ocean the barometer remained low. On the 23rd the craft passed Cape Leuwin, and thence had boisterous weather until she sighted Cape Borda on Monday night the vessel reached the roads on Tuesday morning, and will be towed up as soon as possible.
