French Cruiser Arrives in New Zealand
OFFICIAL WELCOMES TO-DAY Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. Wellington was bathed in brilliant sunshine to-day after a dreary Saturday, when the French cruiser Jeanne d’Are steamed into port from Sydney. There was not a ripple on the glassy surface of the wide harbour as, with her company at divisions, her band playing on the upper deck, and her Tricolour ensign at her stern, the cruiser moved slowly to her berth. It being Sunday, the Jeanne d’Arc. arrived in silence, but at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning she will fire the customary salute of 21 guns, which will be replied to by the battery at Point Jermingham. Tho usual official calls will also be made to-morrow, after which Captain Auphan and his senior officers will lay a wreath at the Ceno taph. Later they will be given a State luncheon. The Jeanne d’Arc will remain in Wellington until Friday when she departs for Auckland.
