CORINTHIC, FROM LONDON. Shortly before 10 o'clock this morning the R.M.S. Corinthic dropped anchor in the stream. A report of the voyage, furnished by Mr. T L Evans, purser, states that the vessel left Plymouth on the 21st August, and Teneriffe five days later. Moderate to fresh S.E. trades were encountered from the equator to Capetown, which was reached on the 11th September After landing passengers and embarking mails, etc., the Corinthic left again the same day, and immediately ran into some rough weather, but suffered no damage. Nearing Hobart a south-westerly gale, with heavy rain, was experienced, and these conditions prevailed until arrival at the Tasmanian port. The last stage of the voyage was entered on at 5.30 a.m. on Saturday last in fine weather, which lasted until yesterday morning, when a violent thunderstorm with very vivid lightning was encountered. Afterwards flue weather prevailed until arrival. Captain Frank Hart, R.N.R., is in command, and has the following officers associated with him :— Chief, Mr. J. Thompson ; first, Mr. J. H.
