The Tyser liner Star of New Zealand, which is due to load at this port on June 17, had a stormy voyage from Now fork to .Melbourne, ami had the misfortune to run on a hank in Port Phillip, hut got off within a couple of hours. “It was not a storm, hut a hurricane, tint we passed through,” remarked Mr. Tom Bowling, second officer of the steamer, in referring,to an experience which betel that vessel during the trip. “For two hours,” continued the officer, "the hurricanes raged with becoming strength, lashing the sea feather-white and pausing dense 4volumes of spray to dash oyer tho vessel.” A couple of sails which the steamer liad spread on the foremast to help her along were blown away like paper, hilt beyond till is she suffered no ill effects from tho disturbance. Another noticeable feature of the voyage was the total absence of a glimpse of the sun for eleven consecutive days whilst the vessel was crossing the Southern •Ocean. iDuring this period not an observation could he taken, the skybeing continually obscured in a deep gloom. The Star of New Zealand. , which left New York on April 12, made only one stoppage (at St. Vincent) on the way. She accomplished, therefore, an excellent voyage of 46 days from the American port- to Melbourne. •The schooner AVaiapu had rather >a stormy passage on her last trip from Gisborne to Auckland. She Jett her on Tuesday, and experienced l light southerly- winds until passing the East Cape at 10 p.m. on the following day, .when the l wind came in from the north and blew very hard. - On Thursday the wind increased to a gaile, and the vessel had to be ihove,to until Friday. Light Ires'll southerly winds and heavy seas were then encountered, and when the. Waiapu was within 30 cables of Cuvier Island she was compelled to again heave-to for a number of hours. On resuming the vessel met with strong northeasterly winds and thick weather until reaching Kangitoto Channel, where she anchored until yesterday, the harbor being made as above.
