Cabled advice received in -Auckland this morning reports the safe arrival at Callao, Peru, on Monday last of the Auckland owned schooner H. K. Hall after a prolonged voyage of 139 davi from Newcastle, New South Wales. * The news of the schooner's arrival was received by Mr. H. George, solicitor of Auckland, who is a brother of Capl tain G. H. George, owner of the vessel. The report added that Captain S L Hammer, master of the sailer, and all on board were in pood health. A series of calms was responsible for the bad tun a made by the schooner. The H. K. Hall, which is a five-masted vessel, loaded 1200 tons of coal at Newcastle, and took her departure for Peru on March 24. For a long time nothine was heard of the vessel, but no fears were entertained for her safety. Then on Tuesday of last week, she* was re ported off Valparaiso.
