MARIPOSA'S TRIP

(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") AUCKLAND, May 9. Tossed in heavy seas, whipped by a strong galo from the south-south-west, the Mariposa, with 261 passengers on board, experienced the worst trip on her trans-Tasman career on her voyage from Sydney. She arrived this morning. Passengers and crew had an uncomfortable time, and furnishings of the vessel moved about to such an extent that it was necessary finally to lash them, in place. A few chairs were damaged and some crockery and glassware smashed. Several passengers received bruises and scratches, and a member of the purser's staff received a cut over an eye which necessitated attention by the doctor. Captain Meyer admitted that it was the worst sea ho had experienced in the Tasman during his command of the Mariposa.
