The vcs'-njl reported by Captain Christian as being at anchor this side of Taourakira rlow on Tuesday afternoon inis proved to bo the kowch I/,//in, for she sailed into port with the southerly b, ee/e yesterday, and at 2 p.m. dropped anchor between the two wharves. Tin.* Lizzie H a neat vervieeaide looking little craft, owned by Captain A. Kenny twho has command of her) ana Mr Badeiilfo, of Westjjort. Her nxwt dimensions are not yet obtainable, but she will be surveyed and n-"i:stored in Wellington. Sim is over 50 feet in length, is at present drawing (Jft of water, and was cleared at Westoort as being of 19 tons. The L.zzie wa s considerably knocked about some time ago in a gale on the West Coast and was picked up near Cane Eonlwind ami taken to Westport, where she bis remained ever since. The principal damage sustained by the vessel was the loss of her bulwarks and other deck littings. but the h-i‘l wasnot injured in the heut. A few months ago Messrs Kenny and Kadelinv purchased the craft—which was then /.,if(<>r-rm" ■ I -and completely refitted her, intend* o “ to e.nploy her in lh/ Blenheim - Wellington trade. The* vessel’s draught, however, would be Loo heavy for that service, no »t Ims riot yet been definitely decided where she will run. It was found impossible to complete the r«Jituii}' of the ketch at Westport, for after three separate coats of p*mt had been put on the vessel ouch one in turn was spoiled by the rain. Then it was arranged to finish tiie necessaryvork at Bicton, and accordingly lu. Lizzie loft Westport on November 21th. Captain Kenny reports making the run down to Picton in three days, and throughout the last two days the little vessel averaged a speed of eight knots an hour. At Picton the finishing touches were put on the ketch and, a cargo of about 210 sacks of cbail having been obtained, she set sail for Wellington on Monday morning. The s tr o n^ r^;> V T win A2a7ir ril Jo prevented the vessel making Wellington Heads, so Captain Kenny-v/bo has been In several coasting sailers, but is a stranger to Wellington waters—dropped anchor early on Monday afternoon some miles on the I'encarrow side of Taourakira Head. There the vessel remained till yesterday morning, when she soiled into port as above. We wish the owners of the Lizzie—which is now berthed alongside tiie breastwork near the Wool Wharf—every success with their vessel.
