Soiuo years ago she wan lying at Adelaide, and was chartered to load in New Zealand for a Home port. The vessel sailed I and made a (rood run to the north of New Zealand. When she arrived off the New Zealard coast, the mn°ter found he could not make headway, so he squared off, and eventually brought up at Talcabnano, in ! South America. Tho owners. of the ship I waited to carrel the charter, but the charterers wero quito content to wait for the I ship to rot'irn t.) Now Zealand, which she I eventually did and loaded her cargo.
