STRANGER IN PORT. • Late on Thursday night a strange steamer was observed off Wellington Heads signalling for a pilot. Pilot Davics went out and brought her in during the early hours of tho morning, and she turned out to bo the South Pacific,. 3661 tons, of Cardiff. The vessel needed bunker coal. Captain J. H. Meerix told a DOMINION reporter that the South Pacifio had left New York on May 8 for Melbourne and Sydney, via Panama Oanal, and during the first portion of the journey fair weather, was experionocd. After passing Pitcairm Island however, conditions changed, and they' became exceptionally bad as the South Pacific approached tho. New. Zealand coast. Heavy seas swept tho decks continually, making matters most unpleasant for those on board. The westerly gales were so severe that tho steamer could only log about 120 miles a day. The South Pacific is practically a new steamer, having been built at Sunderland in September, 1913. She Tvas originally owned by the Pacific Shipping, Ltd.. but purchased by Williams and Maude, of rardiff, quite recently. She will continue her journey on to Melbourne and Sydney this morning.
