A STORMY VOYAGE.
MAUNGANUI MEETS GALE.
Exceptionally heavy weather prevailed throughout the whole of the voyage of the Union Company's steamer Maunganul, which arrived at Wellington on Monday from Sydney. The vessel ran into a heavy beam sea soon after leaving the Australian port on the Thursday, and rolled considerably. One lady passenger, Mrs. D. Forbes, sustained rattier severe bruises aa a result of a fall during the heavy rolling and had to seek medical attention. On Sunday evening, shortly after dinner, a distinct tremor was experienced, and the vessel gave a lurch and then a dip, as if she had struck something. A number of*the passengers attributed this to the earthquake experienced in Wellington on Sunday evening.
