BACK FROM THE MACQUARIES
After an absence of about seventeen days, the Government steamer Tutanckai arrived in port from the'Macquarie Islands, via the Auckland Islands and Bluff, yesterday. Captain Bollons reports that very bad weather was experienced from the Macquaries to the Auckland Islands, the prevailing wind being a strong south-easterly. At the Auckland Islands a thorough examination was made of all boatsheds and depots, and everything was found to be intact, there being no castaways. Captain Bollons states that the cattle, the first of which were placed on Enderby and Ross Islands (Auckland Group) some twenty years ago, are doing very well, and have multiplied to such an extent that they have almost outeaten themselves. The trip from the Auckland Islands to Bluff was rather stormy, and from the latter port to Wellington a south-easterly gale prevailed. ( The Tutanekai, which has not been slipped since February last, will go on the cradle almost immediately for overhaul.
