CRAONESS ■IN PORT.

':" Trio Reardon Smith steamer Cragness arrived yesterday afternoon .Texas. and berthed at the King's Wharf. General r cargo was loaded at New York, and case '•-.- oils at Port Arthur, Texas. A departure .'" 'was made from . Port Arthur on June 10 ;-, and the Cragaeao passed through the Pan- '■'- ansa Canal and cleared Balboa on June 17. Fair weather wan experienced until July •• 6, when stormy weather was encountered. * From that data until reaching the Isev J." Zealand coast the Cragness steamed against -.'--!» miccessioii of gales, varying from, south•east to south-west. High head seas burfelted the vessel «all the time, and repeat- ,-- edlv flooded the decks fore, and .aft. The -' wind blew in violent squalls with heavy ':. raid ihowers. Fortunately, -no damage was ■:■- done. About 35,000 case of oils and 125 tons of general cargo will be discharged ::... at Auckland. The remainder of. the vessel s :•:•;■ cargo will bo discharged at Brisbane. Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. General .-. cargo will be loaded at Auckland for the four Australian ports; , , , :. Captain J. Sneller is in command of the -.: Cragness. and has with him the following '■■: officers:— Mr. G. Laird :. second. Mr. -■• W. Salmon; third, Mr. E. Price, chief .engineer, Mr. J. Frnser; second, Mr, J._L.im- •■ man; third Mr. J. Edgar;, fourth, Mr. ,B. : Butler; fifth, Mr. W. J. Simpson. '•' • The Cragness is an ex-Gennan steamer. ... Bho was named the Schwabcn. and was --■ owned by tlio North German Lloyd Company. It is nearly nine months wrice the Cragneas left England. . She sailed from Middlesbrough in November last with a . cargo of pig iron and genera! cargo tor ■ New York. In the Atlantic the vessel encountered a hurricane, and for some days was in danger of foundering. Seas swept her fore and aft. with the result that the . boats were washed away, the bulwarks - ' flattened in, and the peering gear smashed. All efforts to repair the latter damage were ' ---' without success, which left the vessel uncontrolled and at the mercy of the ele- '■■■■ ments. By a remarkable coincidence she steadied herself hend to the sea. and remained in that position with the engine working. In this manner the C/ugness was worked in the direction of St. John. .., •where the steamer's wireless distress veig- • •nals were picked up. Tugs were des- ,-, patched to the vessel's assistance a"d Inter • she was towed into that port, badly bat- ... terad. It iva* an experience not likely to " be forgotten by tho steamer's crew, es- ;.. pecially the second officer, who has his lei? badly wrenched. After icpairs were — effected at St, John, the Crnrrness resumed , her voyage to New York. On completion '-- of discharge at the latter port, the Crn;--ness made two voyages from Norfolk. Virginia, to Spain.;• carrying each voyage over . MO horses and mules and about 4000 tons of wheat. On the completion of the two ; charters, she went to New York to take ■ ti ! ftp her present run.

The Nobel Explosive Company auxiliary schooner Huia, which arrived from Melbourne, via Greymouth, Westport, and-New Plymouth, on Tuesday night, and anchored at the explosivo anchorage, csmio to Auckland T yesterday evening, and berthed at the King's Wharf, to discharge her general cargo. The Huia had a very stormy experience more or less all the way from Melbourne to Auckland. Boisterous weather was experienced in the Taaman Sea. and necessitated the vessel being hove-to for some time. Heavy seas ,on the New ' Zealand coast prevented the schooner crossing the Greymouth bar for two days, and prolonged the trip from Melbourne to 13 days. Between Westport and New Plymouth stormy weather was again experienced. Off Fan.•.vol! Spit a hard easterly gale was encountered, and the Huia drifted g across Cook Strait hove-to. In the vicinity of Cape Egmont the gale moderated. After discharging a part cargo at New Plymouth the Huia experienced fine weather until she reached the North Cape. There a violent storm blew from the south-east, accompanied by very high seas. It was the worst storm of the voyage, and the Huia lay hove-to under a reefed foresail and staysail from. Saturday momincr until Monday. The schooner was considerably buffetted by the gale, and one particularly heavy sea struck the bowsprit and carried away the bobstnys,*as well as smashing the forward bulwarks and the forecastle head. On Monday night the storm moderated, and the weather remained fine until the "Huia reached port After discharging her cargo the vessel will go to Whangarei about Saturday, to load a cargo of timber for Melbourne.
