' The vessel has not yet been reported, but as stormy weather, was experienced round the New Zealand coast shortly after the vessel left'here, she was probably blown some distance out of her course. ...
The Valkyrie is owned and commanded by Captain E. Gilling who, before leaving Auckland, equipped the . vessel with a radio set, capable of sending 100 miles. She also has an auxiliary engine capable of driving her at 5 knots in • calm- weather. Sails, hollever, were relied, upon, and the vessel may therefore likely to be delayed for weeks by contrary weather. '-'•' ■■ ■■■ i
