A LONG TOW, The Flora's long tow of 222S miles proved uneventful. Her engineers had effected temporary repairs when the Mapouri-Wa arrived, but in order not to strain the repairs too much it was decided that the Mapourika should tow her, while the Flora used her own steam. The vessels left Papeete on May 13, and four days out encountered a moderate gale and heavy seas. The best day's run was 185 miles. A strong sea was running until wearing the New Zealand coast, but the tow-rope did not part. Strong winds were experienced on Saturday, and the vessels were hove-to under canvas till Monday.

MANUKA'S ROUGH TRIP. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, May 31. At ten o'clock this morning the Manuka completed the longest voyage she has ever made from Sydney. She left there on Thursday afternoon and ran into south-easterly'to easterly gales immediately after leaving. These continued throughout the voyage with very heavy seas. The vessel was awash forward nearly all the time, but came through the buffeting without serious mishap. It was found necessary at times to reduce speed to four knots an hour. ' A portion of the port rail was washed away..

Her departure for Sydney is .postponed until Saturday.
