" The Loch Awe which arrived on Monday made a very fair passage, her time from pilot to pilot being eighty-eight days. The voyage was an uneventful one, favorable winds being the rule until reaching the meridian of Tasmania or between that and the New Zealand coast, when very bad south-easterly weather was met with. Tho passengers, some thirty-six all told, speak well of the ship, and expressed their appreciation of tho captain and officers in a testimonial presented upon the vessel’s arrival. The vessel is in command of Captain Nicol, seconded by Mr Alexander Boyd as _ chief officer, and Mr McNeil second officer. It is her first visit to Lyttelton, though she is well known in the colonial trade, and was last year at Sydney. She was built in 1869, is owned by Messrs. J. and E. Wilson, Glasgow, and has the appearance of being a powerful ship- _ Arriving hero so late in the season it is uncertain whether she will load at this port or go elsewhere. For passengers she possesses accommodation for a limited number in a well-furnished maple finished The' particulars of her present voyage are— Lett London May 4th, landed pilot next day, and had good winds to taking the trades on May 21st in 25 N. 21 W. Carried them to 6 N., May 29th, and crossed the equator in 28 W. on May 31st, the wind being S.S B. Lost the S.E. trades in 26 S. 32 W. on June 9th, and had moderate weather to the Cape on Jane 22nd, passed in 43 S., being then forty-eight days out. Carried moderate winds, varying from N.W. to S.W. in running down the easting, and sighted Tasmania July 17th, seventy-three days ont. Thence to the Snares, sighted last Sunday ■week, met with very heavy weather from the S.E. and E., and up the Coast baffling winds. The ship has bean reported by her agents, the New Zealand Shipping Company, and will probably be berthed to-day.
