acknowledgements and Charters.

The Glenorchy, lying at Green-street
Wharf, picked up strange anchor when
the crew hove up her mud-hook in order 10
dock her on Sunday As soon as the stock
showed above water it was seen to be foul,
and nothing more was done until yesterday
morning, when the men went to work to cut
and fish it. Then to their surprise instead
Of one anchor they found they had two on
the end of the chain. The men worked all
day, but up to shutdown had not cleared the
mess, as the chain had a dozen turns and
half bitches around both anchors. There is
some chain attached to the strange mud
hook. but how much is not known yet.
The weather yesterday was hazy, with a
northwest wind blowing forty miles an
hour. The barometer stood 1890.
LOST HER CARGO.
The brig Courtney Ford, which arrived
on Sunday from Tahiti, had rough time at
the islands. She put to sea, bound for San
Francisco, but had hardly cleared the har-
Dor when she was caught in heavy north
east gale, which, as one of tbs crew put it,
"Came near blowing all their teeth down
their throats." The hirg was hove TO. but
the heavy sea made clean sweep over her.
aud several times the crew thought she
would founder. At last, to save the brig
the cargo was jettisOned, and as soon as the
gale subsidized she put back to Tahiti for an
other cargo. The run to this city was made
in cool time, and hue weather was ex-
perienced.
