STORMY TRIP OVER TASMAN.
ULIMAROA 37 HOURS LATE. PASSENGERS IN THEIR BUNKS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. With the yeilow of her funnel trans' formed into a dirty white- by a coating of salt, which bore testimony to the height of the seas she had met, the Huddart-Parker Company's intercolonial steamer Ulimaroa berthed at the Queen's wharf at 2 o'clock this afternoon, 27 hours behind schedule, after one of the stormiest passages across the ■ Tasman in recent years. The Ulimaroa left Sydney at 3.30 p.m. on' Friday, and ran into rough weather as soon as she had cleared the. Sydney Heads. After, their first taste of the storm most of the passengers retired to their bunks and stayed there throughout the voyage. The waves swept deserted decks, and no one on board was injured. The ship came through the storm very well, the damage being confined to the smashing of five or six portholes.
