The lnigaiitine Linda Weber and the schooner Waiwera were in Rarotonga on June loth when the Richmond left there. Both intended leaving for Auckland in a tew days.

'The Richmond met the Auckland schooner Torea cruising in the Cook's Group when passing through there on June 14. Amoust tlie arrivals at Newcastle recently was the ship Helensburgh, a vessel of 1099 tons, which has come all the way from Leitli, in Scotland, in ballast trim, to load coal for San Francisco. The captain states that the vessel was compelled to take the voyage to Newcastle in light trim owing to the want of profitable employment at home. This is another instance of the wretched state of the home freight market. Captain G. P. Wood has arrived in Sydney after taking to Newcastle -on - Tyne the Sydney ship Riversdale. During the voyage the Riversdale was struck by a squall that nearly capsized her. Had she not been a vessel of exceptional strength, and all her upper works in grand order, it is probable that she would have foundered. She lay on her beam-ends, lee rail buried in the sea for 84 hours, the cargo of shale having shifted. Captain Wood gives a vivid account of his experience, as well as that of the loyal crew, who worked day and night below under extraordinary difficulties and at the risk of their lives to trim the vessel. Eventually the ship was navigated in safety to her destination. THE RICHMOND. Early this morning the Island steamer Richmond, Captain R. G. Hutton, arrived from Tahiti and Rarotonga with a cargo of fruit, copra, etc. The steamer left Auckland for Rarotonga and Tahiti at 10.130 p.m. 011 Monday, May 28, with strong S. W. winds, which gradually hauled to the eastward with fine weather.

Having discharged cariro and loaded a part cargo of oranges, she left again for Rarotonga at 2.30 p.m. on Monday, the lltli, arriving at Rarotonga at 11 a.m. on the 14th, where she completed her loading, and left on her return trip to Auckland at 1.30 pm. on Friday, the 15th. Light variable winds and fine weather prevailed until Tuesday last, when in about latitude 2(5"30 S. she encountered a strong westerly gale, with high sea, which lasted until Saturday the 23rd, about latitude 35 degrees S. : thence until her arrival at the Barrier at 7 p.m. on Sunday heavy S. W. to S. winds, and head sea. 'The Richmond will commence discharging this morning at the Railway Wharf.

LAUNCH AT ARATAPU. There was <juite a number of people aliont Aiatupu on Wednesday, audit was evident that something out of the ordinary was 011 the tapis. The centre of attraction was Mr. James Barbour's shipbuilding yard, which for some months back has employed from ten to twenty men, and it was to see the launch of the new schooner built for Messrs. K. Mitchelson and .Brothers that the people were making for. The steamer brought several persona down from Dargaville, bur. they were too late to see the vessel slide into the water, which she did very successfully. Miss Clara Mitchelson, of Dargaville, christened the vessel, and in doing so said : "I now christen this ship, already launched, The Huia. The name is that of an extinct bird, and as now given to a new vessel it connects the distant past with the present. .So we hope this ship fti her trips over the sea will bring together distant friends. The Huia." At the last words she broke a bottle of champagne on the starboard bow in orthodox fashion. Mr. Barbour is well known as the builder of such fine crafts as the Torea, Aratapu, Sybil, Annie Wilson, and others, and in the Huia he lias turned out a craft which will do him honour wherever she goes. She is the largest and most handsome vessel ever built by him, and though being built of immense strengh, she has been constructed from a very pretty model, and is a beautiful, smart-looking craft as she sits in the water. Her dimensions are :—Length of keel, 107 feet; beam, '25 feet '2 inches ; depth of hold, 11 feet - inches; registered measurement, 20.") tons ; timber carrying capacity about 200,000 feet super. Her frame, including stem, stern post, rudder stock, knees, bits, catheads, rails, windlass, and tunnels consist entirely of puriri of the very best quality, and althogetlier the frame is equal, if not superior, to any vet put into a vessel. Her planking is all heart of kauri, and the whole of the timber used, including spars, was cut in the bush by Mr. Barbour himself at the very best season. The keel, 107 feet, is all in one piece; also the keelson, 102 feet. The to]) planks are 76 feet in length, 19 by 4i; and the bilge pieces, 74 feet by 10 by .'{J. The covering boards on each side are iii one piece. The vessel is to be rigged as a topsail schooner, and will probably lie engaged in running between Kaipara and the South.—!
