SHIP NEWS.      

 

On Wednesday night put back the new Schooner, Governor King, built by Messrs. Kable and Underwood, having been out four days. Off Jarvoise's Bay a leak was disco- vered, which gained so fast as to require     everv exertion of the crew. Upon being     hove down, several apertures appeared on each side, but close to the keel on the lar-   board side a trunnel was found open, which    

principally occasioned the leak; this, when   the vessel was launched, had admitted a quan- tity of mud which hardened and remained   undisturbed until washed out by the way of  

the vessel. A number of c u kers have been  

kept constantly at work upon her, and she   will be ready again to sail for the Southward   on Monday or Tuesday.
