Captain us sq I very^bad

cross sea running; It then veered round to N.W. and back to W. on the 18th. Cape Farewell light was sighted on the night of Sunday, 18th, but the following day was a perfect calm. On the 19th a N.W. breeze sprang up, carrying the vessel through the Straits, and Cape Campbell was made at midnight. Godley light was sighted on Friday ni«-ht about fifteen miles off, but on Saturday there was a southerly gale which blew the ship away from Lyttelton. On the gales subsiding that night a succession of calms and light westerly winds came on, the vessel lying within sight of this port for four days. In spite of the bad weather experienced throughout the run the vessel has sustained no injury. She will be berthed at No 2 wharf to discharge. Messrs McMeekan, Blackwood, and Co’s splendid s.B. Arawata left Melbourne at 2 p.m. on the 19th, aud passed Swan Island at 10.45 a.m. next day ; carried a north-west wind until 3 a.m. on the 21st, when it shifted to the southward, with squalls and rain, and increased in strength until the morning of the 22ud, when it blew a very heavy gale, with a dangerous breaking sea. Having stock on board and open hatches, the ship could not continue on her course with safety, so she was hove-to under close reefed mainsail from 7 a.m. on the 22nd until 7.30 a.m. on the 23rd, during which time the gale continued with great strength, and the squalls were terrific ; the steamer, however, behaved admirably throughout. The wind having slightly moderated, the steamer was kept on her course, and experienced very heavy seas until passing tire West Cape at 3 p.m. ou the 21th. The Solandcrs were passed at 6 p.m, and she steamed slowly through the Straits so as to enter the Bluff next morning at daylight. Left at 4 p.m. on the 26th, arrived at Port Chalmers at 7 a.m. on the 27th, aud left at 4 p.m. same day, arriving at Lyttelton at 7.40 a.m. on the 28th. We have to "thank Mr Miller, the purser, lor report and files. The Arawata discharged 80 tons of cargo at the Gladstone pier, took on board 100 tons, and sailed for Wellington at 5.30 p.m. She returns to take out the Suez mail on Saturday next. ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP WAIROA. This splendid ship of the New Zealand Shipping Company was signaled on Tuesday afternoon. There was some uncertainty as to whether it was the Wairoa or City of Dunedin, but all doubts were solved when yesterday afternoon the N.Z.S. Co’s flag was hoisted on the signal staff. The harbor authorities and health officer proceeded to the ship in the Customs’ steam launch, and those interested in the company—viz, Messrs Coster, Revans, and Gould, went offinthes.sAkaroa. It was 3.15 p.m when the N.S.S Co’s ilag was hoisted, and shortly after four she was boarded and declared free by the health officer, no unnecessary delay being made. A hearty welcome from Captain Joss greeted those who went on board, and all were glad to learn that the Wairoa had brought her numerous passengers here safely, without any illness of a serious nature occurring. Her rather long run, 100 days from the Start, was caused it appears by the vessel’s having to put into the Cape, through being short of water, the condenser having broken down. Built in February last by the Messrs Palmer, who also constructed the Waipa, Orari, Otaki, and Hurunui, the Wairoa is a really fine modelled ship, and appears to us to be better finished than any of her sisters. That she is fast has been proved by her sailing 315 miles in twenty-tour hours during the run, aud that she is a good sea boat, is vouched by all on board, and they had plenty of opportunities of judging, as the passage was by no means a iine weather one. The accommodation for second and third-class passengers was good, being situated under the main hatch in the ’tween decks, and was well ventilated; the companion leading to it being very good. The passengers spoke of the abundance of the provisions supplied to them, together with their quality, and the kind treatment they bad received from the officers. This vessel appears to be more lightly sparred than the other four ships of the company, which adds much to her appearance. The passage has been a pleasant one taken all through, several concerts, &c, having been given, which were much appreciated. Her doctor, Mr Lawton, has not, fortunately, been much called on, but is spoken of in very High terms. Among her imports is a fine shorthorned two-year-old bull, consigned to Messrs Dalgety, Nichols, and Co. 11c has arrived in tine condition, which speaks well lor the person wiio has had charge of him. The Wairoa brings about forty passengers altogether, and a large cargo, about one half of which is for the Bluff The following report of the voyage is kindly furnished by Captain Joss N.Z.S. Co’snew iron ship Wairoa left London 10th March, and remained at Gravesend embarking passengers, &c, and waiting for settled weather until 13th; proceeded to the Downs aud anchored until 17th, blowing heavy westerly gales ; left the Downs on the 17th, and discharged pilot off Start Point on the Iflth ; thence to Madeira, which was passed on the 26th, had moderate variable winds and fine weather. After passing Madeira had very light and baffling winds till 33deg N. Ou Ist April the N.E trade was found; the winds very light indeed, and were lost in 4deg A’ on Bth April. The doldrums were then encountered, and remained till the isth, Cdcg S ; the equator being crossed on the 12th in 26degWlong. From 6dcg S on the 18th to 20th April, ou which day the island of Trinidad was passed, experienced very light and unsteady winds, principally from N.W; little or none from S.E. After passing Trinidad, a continuation of light and baffling winds were experienced up to 3rd May in lat 29 S, long 31 W, and thence to Cape of Good Hope, which was reached on the 17th May, had moderate and fresh westerly and N.W winds and fine weather. Left Cape Town ou the 19th, and after passing the Crozets and Kerguelen Island, the easterly was run down with 51st parallel, during which the vessel passed through a vein of very light, uus'eady, and ;i>aflling winds and squally weather, with an exceedingly low barometer, as low as 27.88 on two occasions, and extending from 50deg E to 105 deg E, the weather being unusually cold. On June 10th, in lat SldegS, and long 97deg E, passed an immense iceberg, from 800 ft to 1000 ft high, and on the 12th, in 51deg S and 10/dog E, passed’three smaller ones; thence to 49deg S and 163 deg E had strong westerly gales and heavy sea; experienced a strong E.S.E gale west of Stewart’s Island ou the 22nd and 23rd inst, and passed through the Strait on the 24th, and oil the E point of Bank’s Peninsula on 26th at 7 am; thence to 3 p.m of 28th, when pilot boarded, had calms and light baffling airs to anchorage. The vessels spoken on the voyage were:—March 26th, lat 34 N, long 17 W, Edith Lome, Dundee to Valparaiso, ten days out; April 18th, lat 6 S, long 27 W, City of Hankow, Hull to Calcutta, thirty days out; April 21st, lat 10 S, long 28 W, French gunboat Diamant, bound north. The following testimonial was presented to Captain Joss by the passengers upon arriving in harbor:— “ To Captain Joss—We, the undersigned saloon passengers of the ship Wairoa from London to Canterbury, New Zealand, desire—now that the first voyage of the same vessel is approaching its termination—to offer our most sincere and grateful thanks for the constant care and exceptional attention shown by you, day and night, both in the safe accomplishment of the voyage, and in your kind and earnest endeavour to promote the happiness and comfort of the passengers on all occasions. In offering this small testimonial, we can only hope that the same success and prosperity will ever attend your future voyages; and you may always rest assured that in every tiling you undertake you have the sincere and heartfelt wishes of [Here follow the signatures.]
