THE HUANUI'S TRIf. "One of the wor6t trips on the New Zealand coast," was how Captain C. Anderson described tho .passago ot Ilis schooner Huanni from Auckland to Wellington. Finally clearing the northern port on Octobor 16. a good sail of 52 houre took her to Gieborne, where* a sm.iH cargo was dropped. Soil was set from Uißborno

the same day, and the remainder of the voyago was mode in a succession of boisterous west and south-westerly Rales. The fine qualities of the schooner, however, ctood tho test splendidly, and no damage wub done. Cortine further south, tne pales crew in intensity, ami when in latitude with Capo Palliser the liuanm was 200 miles off shore. That was eight days ago, and gradually she worKed her way into port. The Huanui lias His liower of sails only, her engine being under seal. ieslerdav eho was berthed at- Shelly Bay to unload a carpto of explosives, and when thot is finished she will come round to the wharves to load for Auckland.
