Tho weather was' only fairly crood as far as Las Pnlmas. Thence till Maatsua-ker Light. Tasmania, was Sighted, the weather was fine. Tho passage to Hobart, which occupied 58 days, was extromely Quiet, only one vessel being sighted, and that too far off for recognition. The average speed for tho whole voyage was a lit-tlo over 9 knots. On occasions when the weather was at all rough, the vessel rolled somewhat, but, considering her lisrht. trim, behaved very well. A feature of the steamer is her one complete hold fro*n the collision bu'khend to'the fo'o'slo bulkhead. extending ritht under tho bridge. She is fitted wi'h double friction winches at each hatch, which wnv in cadi (we be worked by one in an.
