THE HURUNUI The New Zealand Shipping Company's ship Hurunui, Captain Haslewood. arrived *hWednesday,afterapa3sagereniarkablefor _he continuous light winds and fine weather experienced throughout its duration. It is stated that the mainroyal was set the whole of the trip, excepting on.oneoccision only, and that was the only time there was anything of a hard breeze felt. The Hurunui entered the port in very good order, and particularly clean externally as well as internally. Her officers, Messrs Moys, Brown, * and Ashford, are entitled to the compliment of having carried out their duties well. The passengers on board all arrived in good health, nor had they during the voyage given the obliging surgeon of the ship, Dr. Bond, very many opportunities of displaying his professional skill. Captain Haslewood was deservedly popular amongst them, as he ever will be. Some bad news to. many in Canterbury was heard on the voyage, namely, the news of the death of Captain Jenkins, of the ship Lady Jocelyn. This was signalled from the Lady Jocelyn in the tropics, both ships being at the time in company. The Lady Jocelyn was bound to Wellington, and has not yet arrived. Captain Jenkins' wife and family are said to have left Home with him, and would, therefore," be present at the death of one of the most amiable and hospitable ship masters between England and her antipodes. Captain Jenkins _ died of apoplexy. Yesterday, on receipt of the news, the shipping in port lowered their flags to half-mast to mark the general regret. Not only here, but at Auckland and in other ports in the colony will the report of his death be heard with the greatest sorrow, because there are few ship masters who have the happy forte of endearing themselves to their passengers in that degree that he possessed. Amongst the cargo of the Hurunui there was a consignment of ferrets, but all but one died on the passage. Captain Haslehurst believes this was owing to their being very young' ferrets, too young t o undergo a journey so great. The details of the passage are as follows :—Left London Sept. 14th; Gravesend next day; passed the Lizard on the 18th ; carried fresh N.E. trades to 11 N., and doldrums from there to the Equator crossed in 23 W. on October 19th, thirtyfour days out from Gravesend. Experienced strong S.E. trade winds to 28 S., and fresh N.E. winds to Tristan d'Acunha, passed on November 4th, fifty days out. Was off the Cape of Good Hope on November 12th, and ran down the easting in 47 S., with moderate northerly and westerly -winds. Passed the Leuwin meridian December 3rd, and passed Tasmania on December Bth, and the Snares on Saturday last. Ships spoken—October 15th, Lady Jocelyn, London to Wellington, in 4 N., 18 W., thirty-three days out; also same ship on October 25th, in 18.48 S. latitude and 29.4 W. longitude, when she reported that Captain Jenkins had died of apoplexy_ on October 7th, the Lady Jocelyn at the time being in latitude 7N. There were a number of other ships spoken bound to other parts of* the world. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Auckland, December 20. Sailed —Oden, for. New York. Columbia, for Napier. Syren, for Kaipara.
