lONIC ARRIVES AT AUCKLAND.
ROUGH WEATHER. IN PACIFIC. Auckland, April 11. With 200 passengers on board, the Shaw, Savill and Albion Co.’s Royal Mail steamer, lonic, arrived at Auckland from Southampton last night. The voyage was a singularly happy one, not a single case of sickness occurring. Up till five days ago the ship sailed on placid seas, but when two-thirds of the passage from Pitcairn Island had been com- I pleted a severe storm was eneount-fl ered, and it lasted for about hours. “In all my thirty years’ experience, I have never encountered such a big sea in approaching New Zealand, although it was nothing compared with what one meets on other *• oceans,” said Commander A. E. Jackson this morning. The decks were swept fore and aft, and it was unsafe for the passengers to promenade. A good proportion of the immigrants are of Scottish descent, a number being of the domestic class. The majority, if not all, have been nominated by relatives or friends.
