Of Gales.

The overdue Canadian Australian lin
er Miowera arrived In port yesterday
afternoon after "A tempestuous voyage
from Vancouver and Victoria having
encountered bad storms and heavy seas
during almost the entire voyage. Sew
eral times the steamer was obliged to
slow dowh and enormous quantities OF
water swept over her decks. Although
many of the vessels large number OF
passengers were very seasick they say
that every one aboard the ship treated
them well and that taken as a whole
the voyage was n pleasant one. The
Miowera encountered one very bad
storm ON leaving Victoria and got into
another when approaching the islands.

hours at Victoria on her passage out

the evening of the same day. The ves-
sci had no sooner cleared the cape than
she ran mo " DIE SlOrHl. i mere were
fierce squalls ana heavy rain. During
the early evening the boat got ter
rifle shaking and spray was dashing
over all her decks. \ heavy gale set
in from the southwest. accompanied by
heavy rain squalls and into this splinter
of the elements the vessel bucked her
way. ON Sunday the weather continued
wild. The seas were in eruption, but
the staunch steamer continued to poke
her nose into the gale. At two o'clock
in the afternoon the gale had about
reached its height but the seas were
getting worse. The steamer went In at
the base of a wave and coming out at

Hooded with water and her fore part
pretty well stove up AS the wave had
been of such force as to smash the
steamers steel breakwater.
on Monday the wind hauled to the
westward and produced a gale from the
China coast, following this up on Tues

northwest. Passengers now considered
