A ROUGH VOYAGE. Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday morning the" Tyscr Company s fine "steamer Hawke's Bay, Captain J. C. Felgate, arrived in harbour from London, Melbourne, and Sydney with about 1000 tons of general merchandise for this port and consignments for the South. As will be seen by the following report, the steamer has experienced a continuance of rough weather botii between London and Melbourne and .Sydney and this port, notwithstanding which the steamer comes into port in excellent order. The steamer left London on June 23, and anchored below Gravesend, j where a quantity of explosives were shipped, j and the voyape resumed the same day, Dover being sighted at 10.30 p.m. Strong head winds and rain were experienced down the English Channel. The N.E. trades were taken in 29 N., and continued to the fourth parallel. TtmcrifFe was signalled on the 30th June. Six days later the equator was crossed. Thence to the parallel of 29" S., strong S.E. trades were met with. The Cape of Good Hope was rounded in 40" S., and the easting run down between the parallels of 43" and 44' S. Subsequently a succession of heavy W. and S.W. gales with high running seas were encountered until reaching the meridian 101" E. Thence to the Australian coast, the passage was characterised by light to moderate N.W. and S.W. winds. A small iceberg was sighted, about a mile distant, on the 25th July, in lat. 43125 S., and long. 48 - 30 E. She left Melbourne on August 17. and arrived at Sydney on the 20th. After landing consignments at that port, the voyage was resumed on the 24th, at 3.23 p.m., the Heads being cleared an hour later. For the first three days fair weather pre- ; vailed, but as the New Zealand coast was approached the wind increased in force, until it was blowing a strong gale _ with mountainous seas. On Sunday morning a fresh head wind with rain and * S.W. swell prevailed, and towards evening; this freshened into a heavy gale with high seas, in which the steamer pitched and strained to an unpleasant degree. On Monday this weather continued, only blowing with greater force if anything, and so powerful were the elements that the steamer, driven at ordinary speed, could only make a little over twe knots an hour. The Three Kings were sighted at 4.35 a.m. on Tuesday, ami were passed a few hours later, the gale still continuing with the s.wie force. After rounding the North Cape heavier seas were encountered, the steamer plunging and labouring heavily. Down the coast finer weather prevailed, though there was a heavy swell. The steamer rounded the North Head at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, and berthed at the Queen-street wharf as above. Shortly after berthing the work of discharging cargo was proceeded with, and continued throughout the day. It is expected that the steamer will leave tor Wellington on Saturday next, and on discharge of cargo for that port proceeds to Napier, where some 50,000 carcases of frozen mutton will be taken on hoard from Messrs, Nelson Bros.' Works, afterwards proceeding to Lyttelton to complete her loading for London. The following is a list of the officers of the steamer :— Chief, Mr. J.Tulon : second, Mr. A. J.Emslie; third, Mr. F. C.
