Mr. O' Donoghue spent a good night la:; right and to-day was a good tic.-.l easier. The American four-masted barluentinc Makaweli, a vessel of a type not often :'■•■: in New Zealand .caters, arrived at Lyttelton on Frifay nigl.t. al’tt r a long passage of st) dais from Puget. Sound. The Makaweli lias Brought a cargo of EWMI.OOO feet of Oregon pine, and a very large portion of the timber is stmketl on deck to a height of 12 or 13 feet. This huge deck load, which gives the vessel an extraordinary nppetirance. represents nearly half of tlie total cargo, and has a ■.lead weigh* of about -100 tons. Some the baulks of timber are 60 or 7‘> feet in length, and measure 24 inches square. Tlie deck load is secured by stout chain lashings held together by heavy screws. Like most American vessels, the Makaweli is scrupulously clean, ami she came into I ;.;;, hoi. .after a long ami stormy pi*-ag". in perfect order.
