A London correspondent recalls the rescue of the Dutch barque Dordrecht, which' was missing for several weeks off South Africa in 1884. Her position was just as hard to locate as the Waratah’s. ADELAIDE, August 30. The steamer Ayrshire has arrived. A look-out was kept for any signs of the Waratah, but no trace of the missing, steamer was found. PERTH, August 30. An officer of the steamer Madura, from Delagoa Bay, states that the east-north-east current had taken an extraordinary southerly set.
