Co’s was signalled yesterday morning. When the red flag was first run up to the yardarm at the signal staff, it was thought probable it was the Langstone, that ship having been seen oil Timaru, and as time went on and toe big flag of the N.Z.B Co was not hoisted, as is usual when one of their ships nears the Heads many came to the conclusion it must be that vessel. However, all doubts were dispelled by the Walmate’s number being hoisted, and about 2 p m the grand vessel entered, the Heads in tow of the p.s Titan, and dropped her anctior at 3 p.m oil Rhodes’ Bay. She was rapidly cleared by the Health Officer, and the agents, reporters, &o. proceeded to the vessel in Messrs Agar and Robert’® 8.8 Lyttelton. We have seldom seen u ship enter port in such splendid trim, every rope was taught, and instead of the usual dingy appearance, a seattUW application of paint to her bulwarks and

figure head made her look more as if she was just starting a long voyage than completing one. Proceeding aboard, we were welcomed by Captain Peek, and heard on all sides that the voyage had been indeed a pleasant one-fine moderate weather having prevailed nearly all the way. The passengers, of which there were no less than slxty-one, thirty-six of whom were in the saloon, spoke in the highest terms ot the captain and officers, and praised the lood provided and the general arrangements and accommodation. The second-class, intermediate, and steerage passengers were lodged down the main natch, and the quarters were quite up to the average. Only one event occurred during the passage to tend in any way to depress those aboard, and that was on September 31st, when a passenger named Frank Tapliu died. He was about sixteen years of age, and B"bject to fits. We noticed some nice gratings placed over the waterways aft, which are a great improvement. The Waimate left Gravesend on July 29th, and arrived in harbor yesterday, thus making tiie passage In ninety-tour days. But as she took her departure from the Lizard on August 3rd, and sighted Stewart’s Island on October 26th, ihe run irom laud to laud has been only eightyfour days’ duration—a very smart run indeed considering the very moderate weather that prevailed throughout. The best day’s run was 325 knots, Every Thursday concerts or dramatic lepresenfations were given, and there was plenty of goodlun. The “Waimate Gazette” was published every Saturday, and was quite a high-class newspaper. Divine service was performed every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday by Captain Peek. On the arrival of the vessel on tne coast the following address was presented to Captain Peek and signed by all the passengers“ Dear Captain Peek,—Our voyage is nearly at an end, and before leaving the ship we wish to express to you our sense of the kindness and consideration which you have uniformly shown towards us as passengers with you on this long voyage. We consider ourselves most fortunate in having sailed under the guidance of so experienced a captain, to whose skill and judgment this quick passage bears witness, and we teel that our comfort has been materially increased by jour unvarying geniality. We heartily wish you continued success in your profession, and many years of health and happiness.” A gold watch chain was presented to the captain by the adult passengers, and a gold pencil case by the children, as mementos of the voyage. The following is the captain’s report : —Left the S.W India Docks on July 2Sih, and proceeded to Gravesend, which she left the following day with a westerly wind, and towed to Beechy Head. Experienced strong westerly gale, wilh much sea in the channel, and on August 3rd took departure from .-'cilly Isles, and proceeded southward, experiencing strong westerly gales till the sth. after which had a continuance of fair weather, with variable winds and calms, till the 14th, when the Island of Madeira was sighted; thence had fine weather for three days, when the N.E. trades were fallen In with on the nth, In lat 31 N, long 18 W. These trades were very light, and were lost again on the 25th in lat 12 N. long 29 W. Light variable wind' prevailed till the 3oth, when the African S.W. monsoon was felt which carried the ship to lat 6 N, long 20 W, when she was tacked, and on September Ist at once caught the first of the S. trades ; these trades were very fresh, and continued till the 14th ot September, when in lat 26 S, long 33 W, they were 10-L Fresh to moderate winds were experienced from the N.W. and S.W. till September 21st, when Tristan D’vcunhawas sighted; theuce to October 16th. when the meridian of Cape Leewin was reached, strong squally weather prevailed and high sea. The meridian of Greenwich was crossed on September 23rd, in lat 39 S, and that of the Cape ol Good Hope on the 27th, In lat 42 S. The lasting was run down on the 48th parallel From the Leewin to New Zealand the wind continued all northerly, wilh variable weather, but generally wet and squally. Stewart’s Island was made at 8 a.ra. October 25th. and with light N.E. winds the vessel arrived off Dunedin at noon on the 28th : since then had light and baffling winds and calms, with fiequent togs coming up the coast. Sighted the Peninsula on Monday, and arrived off the Heads yesterday morning, when the Titan tug took her in tow, and brought her to an anchorage off Rhodes’ Bay at 3 p.m.
