VOYAGE FROM SUVA.
AN UNEVENTFUL TRIP. CALM SEAS THROUGHOUT. H.M.s. Renown had quite an uneventful trip on the last stage of the journey from Suva to Auckland, calm seas being experienced throughout, although last evening the weather became thick with rain squalls. The Renown left Fiji at 10 o'clock last Saturday morning, and steamed for New Zealand at US knots. Moko Hinau light was sighted by the navigating officers at 1.30 this morning, and the speed was then slowed. At daylight the warship was off the Great Barrier Island, and the speed was regulated so as to arrive on schedule time. Off Tiritiri Island H.M.s. Diomedc was waiting—a grev ship on a grey sea—to escort her big"jrer naval into port. The Renown came into the harbour in charge of her , own navigating officers.
