The figure head, stern-post, paddlee, and baler of the canoe which conveyed the chiefs to the vessel in which Captain dock vieiied Poverty Bay over a hundred years ago, are oq view in a Tauranga curiosity shop. Recent cable messages from Home announced the arrival at London of the clipper ship Waitangi, dipt. Leeman, from Gisborne December 22cd, and subsequent mesesgea notified that she was now loading for Auckland. Private letters just received give some interesting particulars of the Home trip. dapt. Leeman was so ill on voyage that he had to be left at Pernambqcc (Brazil) From that port the ship was in command of Mr Reston, brother of Mr Reston, gaoler at Auckland, and Mr Wilkin, son of Mr J. C. Wilkin, of Lvttelton, acted as first officer. Notwithstanding the delay caused by the captain being put on shore at Pernambuco, the good ship accomplished her voyage Home in 102 days, a fact highly creditable to the young officers in charge.
