THE CAP PILAR
-Press Association.)
Likely to Visit South America
(By Telesrraph-
AUCKLAND, Last Night. The flrst information to reach New Zealand of the movements of the English harquentine Cap Pilar, which left Auckland on September 17 to continue her cruise around the world, has heen received by the parents of Mr Sutherland, a lawyer, who came from Paeroa to join the ship. His letter was posted from Mangareva, which the sailing ship reached in tbe second week of October. When ihe Cap Pilar left Auckland it was thought that Captain Seligman, the master and oWner, intended to go by easy stages to San Francisco, and until the vessel reached Mangareva the crew shaTed this opinion. Now, however, Mr Sutherland says the Cap Pilar is going by way of the Marquesas and possibly Tahiti to South America. Here he tln'nks they will call at Yalparaiso, Lima.and Panama. Although work on board was hard for some days before the New Zealanders became accustomed to it, Mr Sutherland says the voyage up to Mangareva was very interesting and he enjoyed his first South Seas island thoroughly. 8
