The transport was expected to arrive in harbour early on Sunday morning, but was unable to do so owing to the high sea which she" encountered on Friday morn ing. In fact, the crew declare that it was the fercest gale they had ever encounter -ed. The vessel lett Tillbury just five weeks ago had the voyage was an enjoyable one until after leaving, Singapore, when the heavy gale was struck on Friday morn ing. The Captain and the crew worked like Trojans, but great havoc was caused" on board. Several of the boats were badly damaged, and the deck, was littered with broken gear of all description. One of the midship bouts was lost altogether and the bulwarks,, of the hospital were smashed. On the promenade deck, which bad bies converted into apartment, the waves rise to the level of the tables. Another great difficulty "the ship had to contend with was the breakdown of the
