SOHOOSfER INDUSTRY, The following account of the trip of th.o Industiy has been kindly supplied to us 1-= '•The schooner Industry arrived in tho Manukau from Raglan yesterday afternoon, having left Raglan at 8 a. in.,on Saturday last. The iirsfc part of the voyage we were favoured with a fair wind, but on reaching Port Waikato the wind suddenly shifted, the lain descended in torrents, and most tern pestuous weather set in, bo that all hopes of reaching Onehunga that day had to be given up, and the schooner had to bear away to sea, and did not leach the Manukau Heads until Sunday evening, when all were expecting soon to reach our destination; but in this again we weie djbappointed, as the signal from the Pilot Station was. to stand oft to sea again j sp af tpr another night at sea we again reached the Heads, and sue. cecded in passing the Bar at 11 a.m., and reached Onehunga at 2.30. The thanks of all the passengers are due to Captain Gundry for tin careful and skilful way in which lio managed and I am gure }io \vi\\ long be gratefully remo}abpred fp,r his'kind; ness and unceasing endeavours to make all his pa.3sengeis as comfortable as he coukt under the trying eh cumstances, inoro especially the ladies and children, as opp an.fl all -werp pprople^ely invalided n§arly {hj whole of the p4s.sage.f * Passengers : Mr. G.
