SHIP NEWS

 

   

 

On Tuesday returned His Majesty's armed tender Lady Nelson, to refit, her main mast being found so rotten that it was necessary to   replace it with a new one. In one day she   was ready for sea.

On Friday arrived the Surprise, Morrell, from Bass's Strait with 2100 skins and 700   Gallons of oil. She left King's Island on   the 12th instant, and fell in with the Good In- tent of Sydney in Two fold bay.

The Surprise sprung her bowsprit and lost

an anchor at King's island, having parted     her cable in the gale in which the schooner     Governor King ( belonging to the same Own-    

er) carried away her rudder-head, which is           now repaired, and that vessel expected to sail

again for the Straits in the course of the  

Week.    

During the continuance of the gale the Surprise was driven upwards of 140 miles in    

14 hours.  

The Endeavour, also belonging to Messrs. Kable and Underwood, out five months, ar-     rived at the Sisters in only six days from Port  

Jackson, and after landing her people weighed    

for Dusky Bay.
