This vessel, a stranger to our port, arrived yesterday from Mauritius with some of the new season’s sugars. She has occupied forty-one days on the trip but for the last six has been working up the coast against light northerly weather. Her commander, Captain Bundle, kindly furnished us with the following account of the passage Left Port Louis on August 19th with strong S.E, trades, which held till 28 S. was reached, when they fell away light. When in 35 S. and 61 E. the wind came away from the N.W, and blew very hard, and from that time to making the land a succession of gales from all round the compass was experienced, accompanied with heavy rain and hail squalls. Was abreast of the Solanders at 8 a.m on September 23rd, the wind being S.S.W, Rupert’s Island being passed at 6 p.m same day. Light northerly winds and calms prevailed all along the coast, Banks’ Peninsula being sighted on Thursday morning, andGodley light.at l a.m Friday. About 10a.m a fresh N.E. breeze sprang up, the vessel anchoring Inside the breakwater at 1.30 p.m. The vessel was berthed at No 2 Wharf yesterday afternoon to discharge. One ship was spoken during the passage, viz the Peeress, from London to Japan, sixty-two days out, in lat 37.38 S, and long 69.53 W, on 30th August. No tidings ot the missing barque Medora had reached the Mauritius when the Espiegle left. The brig Penang was on the berth for this port, and expected to sail about August 23rd. The French barque Y’vonne was also loading for Dunedin. The Espiegle comes consigned to Messrs Dalgety, Nichols and Co, and is a handsome vessel of 400 tons, Al class. The builders were Messrs J. Blumer and Son, of Sunderland, who have built a number of the N.Z.S. Go’s ships. She is owned by Henry Ellis, of London, owner of the White Rose, and several other vessels that have visited Lyttelton. During the eight years since she was launched she has been employed in India and China trade, and earned a reputation for being smart and a good sea boat.
