Messrs. Reese BroH.- eteiiuicr. Opihi. arrived in-the Btream from . Vaiicouvc'r via Honolulu aud Suva. A"clean bill of health was pro-, seiitcd unci ycßti'fHay'-'nioi'hinit' was. berthed at' Ko. 14: Jrrvoie .Ouay, where sho Vill.diecharce-- a part senoral catgo. of 1600 tons, comprising motor-oars, paper, and -tinned.salmon. : Vha.f remains, is for discharge al Lyttelton, the home port of thoOpihi'. Jlcfsre. St'AHhur, JciTrica and Co., "are the Wellinßton ascnte. • Aβ is well known the Opihi is the Union Company's ex-coal hulk Lilla, which wa3 converted into a Btcnmcr, the engines and boilers used boinjr salved from the o})oi|ri, one of the smartest 'tradcre on the coast until-sho WRS wrecked on. the Grey .bar: about eighteen months ago. "Some doubts were expressed as to the ultimate success of installing the Opoiiri's'machinery, in a, hnll : twice her size, ■ but the -ilrst- round trip of the Opihi has just oudedand p.e.ha? proved licrself--tq-.be a betl.er ship than reasonable, expectations. alloivud. It is ci-actly ten/ months since '.Ike v?esel was last a coillJulllc in ffcllingt-on Harbour.' Seven ■months were taken to- refit her,- and "on September 23, laden with hemp, nelts, and tallow, sho stoamed out of Lyttelton bound- for . Vancouver.. I.lie. trip, via tfono.Jylu, lasted 37 days., her arrival bein»made in the Canadian port on Jfovombe'r 1. .Ycry'baci'wcuther was encountered ou the- outward trip. Captain Campbell, her master, E«ys that she ran as smoothly as.a new ship.. Through both stormy and. fair' weather she made better speed on aimaller fuerconsump--tion than : th« Opouri Tlie coal. talliea totalled threu tone.loss per day,::while.tho speed was slightly .better. ...Nearly wno knots an hour were-made on. a-coneump-tion of eleven tons. That is the ayeraßc. Clearance for her return to- New Zealand was liiado at Vancouver on. November 20, but Dn , 'account , of a southerly gale of cyclonic 'force Honolulu was not reached until December 4 The. sale, which- prevailed.for .a fortm&lU.. affected Honolulu particularly'badly, and : it was estimated that damage '.was done to tho oxtent of about £200,000. As wa3 previously reported .hero Captain J.- Eobinson, 'chief officer of the Opihi, ivlio was. well on in years, /lied from, natural causes when the ship was about a week'.but froin Vancouver. Honolulu was astern on Decomber 5, and until arrival, at, Wellington, fair weather was; general. The, .vessel .callod at. Suva .on- December. 20. for .:buiikera, which, were, taken-in from a hulk; in tlie anchorage owing to the .prevaleiicty there of influenza! and another seven ' days brought her to Wellington. The time,occupied on the second'-part.of the .voyage wars. 35 days—twpda-ys less than the outward trip. ' ".-■■■-. The immediate future career of tho Opihi is, it is "understood, ,, to be in the inter-colonial t'imlier trado, wirlr for which , sho is especially suitable, her machinery being, aft.- ■ .' <
