WORLD VOYAGE

BARWIENTINE CAP PILAR [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, June 29. On a further stage of her adventurous world voyage the 300-ton barquentine Cap Pilar, manned by an amateur crew, loft Sydney on Monday for Auckland. Built at St. Malo, France, in 1911, the Cap Pilar will be a most interesting arrival at Auckland, which she should reach, given average weather, in a little more than a fortnight.- Tho ship is owned and commanded by Captain 'Adrien Seligman, and the captain and the mate are the only ones on board with previous sea experience. The amateur crew includes a clerk, a student, a solicitor, and others new to tho sea.

The Cap Pilar left London in September, and calls were made at Madeira, Teneriffe, Rio de Janeiro, the island of Tristan da Cunha, and Cape Town. After a journey of 46 days from Cape Town the barquentine reached Sydney on Juno 15, where she remained for docking. Mrs Seligman, wife of the commander of tho Cap Pilar, arrived at Auckland by the Monterey on Monday. She will join her husband’s ship here to continue the journey across hte Pacific, probably through the Panama Canal to New York, and then on to England.
