STORM AND CALM.
SAILING SHIP'S VOYAGE. LONDON, June 3. The dreaded Cape Horn showed its worst face to the Finnish barque Herzogin Cecilie on the voyage home from Australia. When rounding the Horn the barque ran into a terrific gale, and, although she made 15 knots and heavy seas swept the decks, no damage was done beyond a few sails being blown to pieces.
Headwinds encountered earlier had delayed the passage to 35 daye from Point Augusta, where the barque took on a cargo of wheat. For five days the vessel was becalmed in the English Channel. The passage occupied 106 days, compared to 92 days last year.
