New Tear's morning, contrary to •expectation; broke fine and calm, with the ' result that by 8 o'clock, the advertised hour ..for : departure, the decks of the splendid steamer Te Anau we're crowded with people bent.on having a taste of the invigorating •briny deep—too invigorating, some thought, who .ruefully watched'their' breakfast disappearing over the side noti long after crossing thoi bar. The sun was bright; the-wca-:ther was warm, with -just breeze enough to temper-the sun's rays and impart that freshness to the air, which makes a sea trip so healthful to those*who can rise above the meanness of mal de mer and laugh at the .throb of the propeller and heave of the sea. There were dose upon 800 excursionists-oh board;" just a comfortable number for the Te < Anau's accommodation,' leaving plenty of room to move about tho decks without Crowding. Promptly at the advertised time tliß mooring lines were flung clear, the propeller, bogam to churn: the water under the Steamer's counter, arid the,Te Anau forged ahead, shaping a course: down channel. 'Every vantage point from fore peak to the hurricane deck abaft the bridge was filled 'With: pleasure-seekers, who wished to obtain a-good view.of the scenery as the steamer .'proceeded on her way. Those less,adveh--0?,8, 8 - ' css confident of their seamanship remained content with seats on' 1 the main deck; under the awning,' and handy to the Bcnppers : should their stomachs play them .false, under the unsettling sureo of the heaving main. Going down the harbour, the trip'was voted the neme of pleasure as the steamer glided along like somo leviathan afloat, with the srreen of the hills oh either hand' and the blue of the sky overhead. ' The Austrian Band, which had berai engaged fori the 'day, with a perseverance that does them credit, kept the coinparty enlivened by the strains of stirring 'music all the way to'Oamaru and back. Just off Port Chnl■mers'the Te Anau passed''the Talune inward .bound, and cheers were exchanged between.the two steamers. r A little lower down a fisherman caused no small hilarity by-first wavinpr his hat to the chcerinir cipjvd (who at that stnee of the trip.seemed ready to cheer anything and everything) and then danced a fandango on the thwart of the boat. The performance concluded by the, sudden'collapse of the fisherman, who madjS a false step and slipped to the bottom, of tlurboat. whereat the ungrateful crowd laughed and cheered. Slipping'past the -Heads shortly before' half-oast' 9, the To Anau'responded to the firsVhenvc of the oceairswell, and to the increased throb'of the p'roneller as full speed was put on. .Then a'hush fell over the vessel, and some who were, conspicuous for their exuberance of sjjirits.but a brief time before .lapsed, ifito "silent contemplation, while others became silently interested in the miimerpus albatrosses that seemed almost tno : law to get out .df'th'e steamer's track.. In natitienl nar.lance,, the sea was calm as a mill pond, and those who experienced the. annoyance and discomfort of sea-sickness would never qualify for service at fen. under nnjs conditions, unless,..indeed,' Britannia should : rule : the waves:'straight. * As there.' is ,only."a.' : per;rentage of mankind immune from,seasicknew when essaving a-first vovage,': the .small number hore de combat on the. Te Anau bnre, testimony to the comparative calm of the sea. All the way up coast a clear view was obtained of the landscape, .and it ,was .easy. to di'cern each . point" and landmark passed, v When abreast of Palmerston a splendid view was obtained of, Pukctapu, with'the M'Kenzie cairn stsnding clear-cut waimt the, sky on the summit, of Puke hiwitalii opposite. The,cairn :i n conspicuous object from the sea, and. visitors to those shore's willi inquire'about the statesman'to. keep green whose memory it has , been erected. • Those who oxnerirnced no in-convenience'-from the motion of the sea 'soon felt no little : Inconvenience from: quite another cause, as the man,ner''in>wliich the tables., spread with abundapce. of palatable and substantial food, wore patronised,' After a run ■of less than four :hours from Otago Heads Cape Wainbrow was ■ rounded, and the ouiet ivaters of the basin between the breakwater'.'and the mole at Oamam entered; With despatch 'the'.simmer was moored alongside the wharf, and all embarked to enjoy a couple ofliours' ramble ashore.' viewinor the beaiities ,ot the .W'ute stone city or visiting the New Year's soorts-in operatim nt the rear of the town. 4.'.1-'°9..° non 'he time expired; as-the: clear "limhine was a rare- treat to many who had had.more than enough experience of weeping skies and bitinir wlnd= of late;' -Shortly Bttor'half-past, 3 the Te'Anon was under waylagatfi. and, with the north-east breeze that;nnd been in our teeth before dead aft now, less '61 the heaving motion was felt ; and time'made on the run. home. In ;this,connection a pleasant little episode .took.place on board. , Ca the way up some jue had suggested to the chief engineer.that therTe Anau, having only come nut'of dock; should make better spend. The engineer: hlnm'srl a dirtv fample'of West Coast •coiilwith which the'bunkers had been filled, While "doing" Oamaru, the same party spied some trucks of clean Westport coal and,, placing a small quantity' in a'paper bair, solemnly made a presentation to the. chief engineer in the presence of the officers and'others, who had bc>n called toijother for .the ..purpose. In making the presentation: .the spokesman nf the .party expressed' t.he hope, now that' thi-'c'nainW..had W.esfp6rt coal on board, he'would be able to make; a better riiii liomei' which,the seqiiol shows:he, did. for the Te Anau.cut but the time in, half an hour less on the homeward mn,:, : At' half-past eieht the To Anau was alongside the cros? wharf, and a Iter, cheers for', tho'Union Company, chwr.j for the <mnd, and W>e sinßihctor " \vM lanßifvne," •tlui crowd disemhark»d and mndo for home, vptmgthe trip an unqualified success, and ;promising to repeat it on a future occasion. ■Thrpnihout the weather wns fine, with the pxceptioii of. a' shower on lh» way hack. which,; however, did not last long, and as thore was ample cover under the awnings, no one got wet. , Conccquentlv spnw>; astonlishment; was' expressed e.t fmdine:.Bnnedin streets lying in pools 'nf water, hearing witnpss'ito.:another wet day. while, the. excursionists to'Oamaru were basking.all day in genial sunshine.
