1, A PROTRACTED .VOYAGE. The'. Norwegian barque Ester,' bound from Macassar (East, Indies); to Onohunga, put into Hobart on February 2' for- provisions. She is commanded by' Captain J. K.' lloughland, and about six months ago'she was'figuring on the bverdue list. . She .left Amsterdam on ficccmbcr 6, 1907, for Macassar, and was spoken ou Decernbet 29 17 miles S.S. W. of ,■ Eddystone lighthouse. At the beginning of' July, as no further tidings of tho vesser were received, the insurance premium rose, and by the end of July it was about 8 or 10 guineas per cent., subsequently reaching 75 to 80 guineas per cent: By the middle of August it had reached 90 guineas—a clear indication of the pessimistic view taken of the ship's chances." Then,, to the wonder of everyone, the ship arrived , with ; apparently nothiug more serious the matter than slight damage to her cargo.From start'to finish the Ester'took just 252 days to reach Banda, Thus was concluded one of tho longest'sailing-ship passages of recent tiines-a. passage, which, although it did not establish > record for a vessel between two ports, was sufficiently protracted to excite the romark of all interested in shipping matters. It is ' expected , that the Union : Company's steamers Maitai and Manapouri will proceed from Lyttelton' to Westport. Captain Itobertson is now in command of the Monowai, Captain Rolls having left the vessel at Lyttelton in order to return to Dunedin for orders. _It is expected that the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Whakatanc will leave Wellington for London to-morrow. : Tho Union Company's steamer Whangape left Wellington on: Saturday for Oisborne, whero she will load Bhcep for Timaru. A shipment of sheep from Richmond Bay, Peloru3 Sound, to Potonc, was landed at tho Petone wharf yesterday morning by the Anchor steamer Alexander. Tho ICahii, which left for East Coast at 9.20 on Saturday morning, had to return to port at 2.50 in the afternoon, on account of the heavy sea running. She will leave again when tho weather moderates. Advice has been received in Wellington that the 6teamer Walkure is at present loading caso oil at New York for Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin. It is expected that the vessel will sail in about four weeks from now. On Saturday the Government steamer Ilineraoa was expected to lcavo Cape Maria (whero ail incandescent burner has been fitted) for Kaipara. .. .Tho. .yogscl. .will be engaged .for at least ten days at Kaipara', overhauling buoys, eto,
