As announced by cable a week or two ago, the tramp Bannockburn had a most tempestuous voyage across the Southern Ocean, and at one stage the vessel is said to have been almost on her beam ends. She arrived at Auckland from New York, via Capetown, Albany, and Newcastle, on Friday, anr repoited having experienced rough weather all through the \oyage. The vessel left New York on the 21st June, and almost immediately after encountered a strong gale with high seas, which washed a quantity of bunker coal overboard. The pale lasted until the Ist ,Tuly, and thence to the 2lst fresh trades and heavy squalls were experienced. The weather moderated, and the vessel made Capetown on the 22nd July. After taking in bunker coal, she left on the following day, and arrived at Durban on the 27th. The Bannockburn took her departure from the latter port a day later, and encountered the hurricane in which the Waratah is supposed to have met w*ch disaster. The vessel shipped tremendous seaß, and rolled to an alarming extent, which necessitated her being hove-to for several hours. The coal in the port bunkers was tossed to the starboard side, while huge seas found their way below, flooding both the engincroom and stokehole. A considerable quantity of coal was also washed off the deck, and some of it had to be jettisoned to enable the crew to get the bunker hatches on again. The weather moderated on the 29th July, but strong to moderate gales continued for some time, and necessitated replenishing her bunker coal supply at Albany and Newcastle. She is to leave Auckland for Wellington to-morrow. 1 INDRALEMA, FROM LONDON. According to information given by Captain Trotter to the Melbourne Argus, the Tyser liner Indralenia had an extraordinary experience of conflicting swells in the Southern Ocean. The steamer passed the Cape on the sth ult., and strong gales and high following seas accompanied the vessel till the 20th. For the next two days a remarkably heavy northeasterly and 'south-easterly swell v;as encountered with a south-westerly under swell, causing such a prodigious jumble that in the absence of any breeze Captain Trotter came to the conclusion that the disturbance was due to a submarine disruption. While this lasted the speed of the vessel had to be greatly reduced. She pitched and rolled alarmingly, whiUt excessive "racing" of her engines increased the discomfort of life on board. "It was a mobt extraordinary experience altogether," said Captain Trotter, "hardly a breath of wind blowing during the 24 hours that the ocean was in such a state of tumult." The Indraleir.a travelled along the 47th parallel of south latitude-^-the new track for the Tyser line steamers bound from the Cape lo Australasian ports.> She is at present at Sydney, and may be advised at any time as having left for Auckland and Wellington. MANAPOURI, FOR FIJI. At the present time the holds of the Union Company's Island steamer Manapouri, now lying at the Queen's Wharf, are being insulated, and refrigerating machinery installed. She is to leave for Suva on Monday next to inaugurate the new fruit convoying service between Fiji and Melbourne. Captain F. P. Evans has been appointed master of the '• r"isel, relieving Captain Dauson, who "has lieen granted customary holiday leave. The oflicois will be:— Chief, Mr. H. W. V. bold, second, Mr. W. H. Lonfimore.; tnifd. Mr. S. A. Hill. Captain Mcßride has gone to liuc edin to join the Hauroto in the WellingtonTahiti service. TJMTA, FOR NEWCASTLE. The British-India Steam Navigation Company's Umta, due here on Friday from Calcutta, via Singapore, Samarang, and Auckland, will, after discharge, leave on the 14th or 15th inst. for Newcastle. The Aparima continues with cargo to Lyttelton and Dunedin. LOGS ADRIFT. A telegram received by the Marine Department advises that the Kauri Timber Company's booms at Tairua (south of Mercury Bay) have burst, and 000 logs, which were lablicci together, have become at large. The wind at the time was easterly, and it was hoped that the logs would be washed ashore. If not, they threaten to become a menace to navigation, and masters of all vessels bound for Auckland from the south are being warned of the danger. To-day the wind was north■westerly, and this would tend to take the logs out to sea. Two email Steamers have been despatched by the Kauri Company to attempt to bring as many of the logs as posbible to land. MORE INNOCENTS ABROAD. It would be- well worth while for the Commonwealth (states the Melbourne Age) to induce the party of American representative business men who are about to make a torn 1 of the world to include Australia in their trip. To tbe number of 750. which means a large command of ability and capital, the syndicate has chartered the Hamburg-America liner Cleveland, 18,000 tons, for the world tour. The Cleveland will leave New York on the 16th October, and will "do" Egypt, India, Siam, Java, Borneo, Manila, and Hongkong, ai riving at Nagasaki on the 29th December. ATter this they will proceed to Honolulu. There is also another excursion, starting from New York about the same time in one of the new White Star large medium speed ships, but this party will consist of only some 250 millionaires and semi-millionaires. Pleasure rather than business is the object, whle the Cleveland excurson will be business combined with pleuGiuc. By the Union Company's intercolonial liner Manuka, due here to-morrow morning from Sydney, 127 passengers are travelling to New Zealand — 81 saloon and 46 steerage. The Otago Daily Ximca understands that negotiations aie now proceeding between the ownerb of the well-known coastal steamer Rakiura and a syndicate for the sale of the steamer, which it is proposed to use in trawling operations. Eight stowaways were discovered on the Tyser steamer Indralema as she was getting away from the English coast, en route to Melbourne. The ship being fully manned, Captain -Trotter headed buck to the coaat to drop the unbidden guests, when a fishing vessel hove in sight. After a parley and the payment of a cash consideration, the master of tbe fishing craft agreed to relieve the Indralema of the stowaways and land them in due course. Captain William Ilice, retired master mariner, who died at Sylvania, near Sydney, on the 24th August, was well known and highly respected. He was a man of sterling worth and kindly and reserved disposition. In the shipping circles of his time he was esteemed as an upright man and a brave and skilful sailor. Captain Rice spent 50 years at sea, but retired ten years ago. He arrived in Sydney in the fifties, and vas a shipowner and master mariner for mans years. He was shipping partner of the late Wm. Hezlett, M.P., and spent the last years of lu'a seafaring life in charge of the steamers of Mr. Wn\. T. Yeager. 'He had charge of the ships Terara, Amphritnte, and Neptune, Platypus, Wyoming, and Oakland, and buperintended the building of tiie last named in England. Captain Rice was born at Newark, England, in 1824. He was the son of Thomas Rice, master mariner and shipowner of that port. His widow, t*o daughters, and seven grandchildren survive him.
