Tho To Anau, which left Auckland on Saturday, July 27, lit 7 a.m., with tho hulk County of Ant'lceeu iii tow for l'ort Chalmers, arrived at her destination ut '; 1..111. on August 4, after ft very mixioue and trying tr>;j through huge sous and aijaiimt fierce southerly gales. Captain Dooriy, who was in command, atates thai the vi'Bael made good progress till she passed Portland Islaud, wlien ehc ran into a fierce southerly gale, with dirty weather nnd very high seas. The steamer was pvi-vtic-ally hove to, being unable to make imch way with the weight of her oharso dragging oil the tow-line. On Monday uftcruoon oho waß under Capo Kidiiaii.urs, whore ehe had to slioHer after Untiling her (yay acrosß llawkc's Bay. At this time it took the vessel 28* hours lo cuvor 42 miles. There was atill a heavy swell when tho voyage was resumed, but progress was stopped again off Castlopoinl. Very- had weather continued till Cape Pallisor was reached, ami tho mountainous sen.s oaused 11 great deal of anxiety. Tho Btout towing hawßor and tho two anchor cables held, however. A hard breeze from tho N.W. wae experienced in the Strait, but the southerly swell was mnL 11 gain near Bank's Poninsula, and a tempestuous sea wits running to 11 dangerous height. Past Akaroa the weather was clear and Jinn, but when midway behveen Timaru and Oainaru on Saturday afternoon, the To Anau rnn into a short but severe hurricane from the south, which laetcd for
about an hour. After thie, by keeping iu towards the coaßt, ohe made good proproee. It waa an uncomfortable and trying tow for all hands, and a particularly anxious ono for Oaptain Boorly, who was on tlio bridge at all hour 3, and had to snatch ft few hours' rest whon there were lulls in the storm. Tho vessel averagedjust over flve knots ■ for the whole voyage.—"Otago Daily Timca."

The vessel arrived in the stream at 2.40 a.m., and anohored there until daybreak, when the anchors were hoisted and an attempt was made to pass through tbo moles. About three-quarters of an hour elapsed, however, befo.'e the Maori had cßected an entrance to the inner harbour, where she arrived at 7.10 a.m., and nearly another two hours wore occupied in bringing the steamer alongside her berth. The tug Lyttelton came to her assistance and tho Maori was eventually inado fast at 9 o'clock. Captain Manning stated tint the galo wns ub sovoro as any he had over experienced whilst berthine a vessel at Lyttelton. Owing to a holiday in Nelson the Nikau did not sail on Monday. ,Sho left there at 9 o'clock last night for Wellington, and is due here this morning. The vessel will sail for Nelaon at noon to-day. In tho course of a statement at Newcastle la6t.wcek the Acting Minister for the Australiau Navy said 'shipbuilding contracts amounting to £6,000,000, and consisting of 26 steel ships, averaging 5500 tonii; 24 wooden ships, averaging 2400 tons, had been let by tho Government. It wae his Intention of recommending the Government to place a contract at Walsh Island for three additional vobsols of a different type to tho leherwood style of construction. These would be constructed of half-inoh-.steel-.plates. In connection with the oonstruotiou of wooden ships, the Minister said the cost of building these vessels in Australia was much cheaper 'than iu Amencb, where tho price ranged from £38 to £40, as against the local cost of £26 a ton. The American coat, however, varied a little according to the State aud thouecossity for transportation. The Kahu,,which is Uue on I'riday from , Napior, .will load for that port. AyTasuiauiau flrm.hAs , purchased the hulk James Craig, at one .time a sailor of some repute, wiiioh for some yeare past has been utilised, as a storo ship at l'ort Moresby.
