WEATHER A FACTOR.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
When the Tahiti left Sydney she had on board a quantity of mail from Australia for America and Britain, but how much is not known locally. At Wellington the vessel took 699 bags of mail and 111 parcel receptacles from New Zealand. Whether it will be possible to tranship r \h or any of the mails to the ships in attendance is not known. The work which would have to be done by the boats would present many difficulties, and much would depend on the condition of the Tahiti and on the state of the weather. LETTERS FROM AUCKLAND.
