NEARLY ATX SEASICK
3y Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, March G
A message from Mr Owen, aboard the City of New York, dated to-day (Thursday), 'says:— Five days of strong, favourable Ivlinds have brought us within live hundred and seventy miles of Dunedin at noon to-day. This is better luck than anybody had a right to expect, but most of us have paid dearly for it. Ninety per cent of us are dreadfully seasick. Men who have never been sick be-fore-T-meri, who' have'' spent , years at sea—have felt the effects ever since we left the' barrier, and we are 'wondering if tile fact cannot be traced to the unusual conditions in which we have lived for more than a. yc<u. Some have advanced the theory that our unusual diet is responsible, and that the absence of automobiles and street cars, has made us more subject to the effects of artificial motion.
