BARQUE’S LONG VOYAGE.
NO SIGN OF WARATAH
[Pan Press Association.! WELLINGTON, Jan. 29. A long and monotonous voyage of 133 days from Liverpool to Wellington was completed yesterday by the barque John Lockett. Scon after passing the Cape •however, the vessel encountered a terrific W.S.W. hurricane, and the decks were swept by mountainous seas. “At times the rails were completely under water,” remarked Captain Wylde; “the cabin door was stove in, and two binnacles were shattered.” For a couple of days the decks wore constantly flooded while the barque rolled and plunged heavily. A sharp watch was kept for any traces of the missing Waratah, but nothing suggestive of that vessel or her fate was seen.
