The American ship Joseph s. Spinney re-
ports having had a rough time Of it on her
outward passage. Five days after leaving
New York she was Caught in terrific yale,
which lasted two days. A heavy sea was
running at the time and swept the
decks fore and aft. On the second day
terrible sea struck the vessel, tearing away
fifty feet of the starboaTd rail and smashing
in the doors of the forward house. The
crew was forced to take refuge on the poop,
as the water dashed across the decks with
such violence that man caught in it would
have been dashed TO death against the bull
warks. Over dozen large vessels were
caught IN the same gale and all except the
Spinney ran for shelter. either to Hampton
Roads or the Delaware Breakwater. The
vessel locked yesterday at UniOn-street
Wharf and gang of carpenters was at once
set to work making the needed repairs.
CAUGHT IN A PAMPERO.
The fine new British ship Port Stanley,
which arrived day or two ago from Swan
sea, was caught in a pampero when off the
River Plate and lost her foretopgallant-
mast. Size was fairly borne down into
the water by the force of the wind. and for
over one hour her decks were full of water.
1t was almost impossible for the crew to
move about on deck, and it was only after
great deal of labor that the ports were
knocked out and the decks cleared OF the
vast amount of water. The wreck was
cleared away and new spar was made by
the ships carpenter. but was not sent aloft
until the vessel was well around Cape
Horn.
