PENANG NEARS PORT
LONG VOYAGE UP COAST SIGHTED BY THE KAIKOURA EXPECTED AT WEEK-END On the last stage of a voyage from Nossi Be, an island near Madagascar, the Finnish barque Penang was sighted off Portland Island, to the southward of Mahia Peninsula, Hawke's Bay, on Tuesday evening. The Penang was passed by the M.A.N.Z. Line motorship Kaikoura, which reached Auckland from Lyttelton yesterday morning and advised that the barque was meeting a light wind from the south-east. The Penang, commanded by Captain K. V. Karlsson, reached the south of New Zealand in less than 50 days, arriving in Foveaux Strait on February 1, but she has made a long voyage up the coast. South-easterly weather has been experienced on the coast and it is likely that the Penang will reach Auckland at the week-end. After discharging guano here tho barque will sail for Spencer Gulf, having been chartered for April-May loading of wheat for the United Kingdom.
