RETURNING TROOPS.
ARRIVAL OF THE CORDOBA. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Yesterday. The Cordoba arrived at 0 o'clock this morning and anchored at Kaiwarra Bight. A strong gale was blowing, and she immediately started to drag her anchors, and, as the strength of the wind increased, soon commenced to make rapid progress towards Evans Bay. The authorities became alarmed, and at once berthed her at Queen's Wharf, where the; medical inspection was carried out. She was passed a clean ship, and the men have landed.
The Cordoba has been ten weeks on the voyage out, via Capetown. On September 27 Private J. S. Williamson, Otago, was lost at sea. Eight men also failed to join the vessel at various ports of call.
