By making the run in a • shade” over 32 days, the Mataroa has cut fullv 21 hours off the previous recox d . which she established at the beginning i of this year. On that occasion th. , Mataroa made the passage in « day- o. , o minutes her actual steaming time being 31 days It* hours 40 minutes. Tho record for the outward passage from Southampton is at present held bj j her sister ship, the Tamaroa .which. leaving Southampton on March tS. arrived ~t Auckland on April the e.apsedt.me for the passage being ..1 days lb hou.s 52 minutes, and the actual steaming time 30 days S hours 38 minutes. The Mataroa's new recoin for tho i Homeward passage is a remarkable one, especiallv in view of the fact of her having to deviate to Curacao, which adds to the steaming distance and involves a detention in port while taking in oil. Her j actual steaming time must be very close to the Tamaroa's outward record, and her average speed would be well over I■> The Mataroa carried 235 bags of mails from Wellington, and this has been delivered in London only- four day's behind the Vancouver mail which left Auckland | a day before the Mataroa sailed from j Wellington.
