GREY ROCK SULPHUR
SHIPMENT FROM ITALY STEAMER'S LONELY VOYAGE The first bulk cargo of grey rock sulphur to be shipped to New Zealand arrived by the British steamer Fiscus yesterday afternoon from the Italian port of Ancona, on the Adriatic Sea. The vessel is the first to reach Auckland from an Italian port for a considerable time. Her crew are mostly English, but a number of the firemen are Arabs. In the course of her long voyage of 14,070 miles from Ancona, via Cape of Good Hope, the vessel called only at Gibraltar. Varying weather was experienced in the course of the trip, which lasted just nine weeks, but it was generally uneventful and after passing Capetown not even the sight of another vessel broke the monotony until she was approaching Auckland yesterday. The Fiscus visited Auckland in December last with a cargo of sugar.
