THE HAUPIPJ. The old steamer Richmond, later the Haupiri, once a smart packet in the Auckland-Soutli Sea Island trade and later coast-hauling for the Union Company, went a long way on her last voyage, states the Bulletin. She was bought foieign last year and vanished from Maoriland waters. Now a sailor just back from London tells a story which goes half round the world. The Admiralty bought the 'Haupiri, and she trudged the Indian Ocean by way of Mauritius, thence to the Cape, where she loaded wheat for Marseilles. By great good luck she got in and out of the Mediterranean unexploded by Hun torpedo, and waddled serenely into the Thames. Then the Lords of the Admiralty packed her oil' somewhere across the Channel, filled her with cement, and sank her to block a tra [lie-way used by the enemy; and the Lords sent the old cievv back to Maoriland in style, passages paid, and nothing to do but eat their heads off.
