The latter left Lyttelton quarter of an hour before the former, which started at 11.45 on Monday night, and considerable interest was taken on board as to the respective sp cd of the two boats. The weather as far as Kalkoura was fine, with light southerly breeze; from thence a strong south-west gale, with a nasty cross sea in the Strait.

The Tauno had 600 tons of cargo on board, mostly grain. She also labored under the disadvantage of burning Bay of Islands coal, which is stated to make a difference of a knot an hour.
