LABURNUM BUFFETED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day
. The sloop Laburnum returned to Auckland today after her Pacific cruise. She ran into heavy weather last Sunday evening, and tho seas continued rough until tho Ilauraki Gulf was reached. Big seas crashed over the ship, and at one stage last evening the officers found themselves in six inches of water in tho wardroom. Tho storm was at its height at about 1.30 o'clock this morning, and the ship's doctor was thrown out of his bunk when there was a violent lurch of tho ship.
The passenger steamer Marama is now expected to arrive from Sydney on Thursday morning, two daj's behind schedule. Early this morning the steamer, which had been hove-to, reported that tho weather was improving and that she was under way again. At midday she intimated that she expected to arrive at 9 a.m. on Thursday. She has 131 passengers. The Narbada, from Calcutta, also delayed by the storm, expects to arrive on. Friday afternoon.
