After an eventful passage of three days 16 hours from Westport to Wellington, the cell'or Rakanoa arrived here ou Saturday evening from the West Coast port with about 2300. tons of coal. She left Westport at half-past eleven on Tuesday night, and experienced a sood passage until Cape Farewell was reached. From Capo Farewell to Stephen Island a steadily-increas-ing breeze was encountered, though it was not until Stephen Island was reached that the full force oF'tho sea and galo raging in the Strait had to bo contended with. She battled along until Long Island was reached, where it was decided to seek shelter. The voyage was resumed on Friday morning, and after another struggle, with the elements Cloudy Bay was made. It was then decided to head for Capo Campbell, so aa to avoid a beam sea on the run to Wellington. She arrived hero shortly after four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Whilst she was sheltering at Long Island tho Petone, from Newcastle, also put in until tho weather abated. . .WAITEMATA IN PORT.
