THE KLIZA FIRTH. , #r/ Our Whakapirau correspondent writes: gj;; -The brigantine Eliza Firth, Captain Murray, H*. arrived in the river oil the 3rd December, SV: after a prolonged voyage of 19, days from A" Lyttelton. The captain reports .leaving Sfej. Lyttelton on the 14th November with fair ' wind to Cape Campbell. The wind' then •' >t \ then altered to north-west and blew with : almost hurricane violence. Five times the isj-- , vessel passed Stephens Island, but had each |§£ : ; time to put back to Guard's Bay for shelter, Sswf where five other vessels were in the same plight. On ; the evening 'of the 30th, the weather moderated, when five of the vessels jffpgot under way, . The Jsli?a Firth had favouring_ south-west wind to . the Raipara Heads, J which were made on the morning of the 3rd | December, where she obtained the services of - the tug boat Sterling, and waa berthed at the k- ! wharf the same evening. The brigantine, as usual; brings a" consignment of general cargo' gffeWi or. our local merchants, Grave fears were

entertained here for the safety of the favourite trader. Captain Murray believes it was the roughest weather he has experienced on the coast during the last 16 years.
