The Chilian barque Ivanhoe has been chartered to load a cargo of lumber at Puget Sound for Sydney. The Ivanhoe has a touch of romance about her which many, especially Lyttelton people, will remember (says the Sun). She arrived at Lyttelton on April 17, 180(1, from Melbourne, and, after loading, left again on May 8 for London. On April 2(1 two apprentices and one of the sailors strolled up tho hill near the time ball, and whilst ascending rolled stones down tho hillside, with the result that one, somewhat larger than the others, which had been set in motion from the hilltop, took charge and gathered way as it rolled down the hill, and, after striking :i house, it struck the footpath and bounced through the gasometer. The port had 'to go without gas for three days. The three lads were arrested, and acquitted at the trial. In company with the Ivanhoe were the splendid sailing ships Salamanca. Blenheim, Harold, Greta, Sierra Blanca, Loch Carron, Stirlingshire. Cape of Good Hope, Lady Joeelyn, Bells, Talavcrn, Timaur, Colae, Gazelle, Citv of Madras. Mersey and Mataura. This was the time when windjammers were in their prime, and Lyttelton was usually packed with ships. lii front of the Supremo Court at Christchurch will be seen a large stone, and few people are aware that this stone is the identical one which was rolled donw the hill when the Ivanhoe wa« in port.
