THE FLORA'S LONG TOW
AN UNEVENTFUL VOYAGE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, May 29. The Flora's long tow of 2228 miles proved uneventful. Her engineers had effected temporary repairs when the Mapourika arrived, but in order not to strain the repairs too much it was cle* oided that the •Mapourika should tow her, while tho Flora used her own steam. The vessels left Papeete on May 13, and four days ou.t encountered a moderate galo and heavy seas. Tho best day's run was 185 miles. A strong sea was running until nearing the New Zealand coast, but the tow-rope did not part. Strong winds were experienced on Saturday, and tho vessels were hovc-to under canvas till yesterday. /
