EIGHTY-FOUR DAYS OUT FROM WASHINGTON. An unexpected arrival at Wellington on Monday morning was tho fonr-masted American schooner Robert R. Hind, 84 days out from Bellingham Bay, Washington, U.S.A., which put into that port shortly before noon. There had been no advice of the vessel’s movements, and her sudden appearance on Monday morning caused much speculation on the waterfront. The Robert R. Hind is manned by practically an Australian crew, while her captain is also an Australian. She left Bellingham Bay on October 18. and the first land sighted was when the vessel made Wellington. She experienced heavy weather before making port, and has been practically three months on the water. She is heavily laden with timber for Adelaide, and is to pnt out dynamite at Wellington, when she will resume her voyage to Australia. It is perhaps tho first occasion that an American vessel has put into Wellington manned by an Australian crew. GERMAN SAILER AT' MELBOURNE. A new departure in shipping is tho arrival at Melbourne of the German fivemasted auxiliary schooner Carl Vinnen, which is the first German vessel to enter the Australian port since the war. As she was towed up the river, old sailors working on the wharves paused in their duties and argued as to her rig. In their long experience they had never seen a vessel ot such short length equipped with so many masts and so strangely arranged. She is square-rigged on the fore and mizzen, and schooner-rigged on her remaining three sticks, and was designed by her owners to get the greatest capacity of soil surface combined with auxiliary engine-power, in order to make fast passages. The Oarl Vinnen, with all her extra sail area and a Diesel engine capable of propelling her seven knots an hour in a calm, took 122 days to accomplish tho journey from tho Baltic. She was built last year at Krupp's yard in Kiel, and can carry 3209 tons, and is excellently fitted throughout. The vessel is commanded by Captain Oothus, and carries a crew of 25 all told, including two engineers and two assistant engineers. The master, mate, and many members of the crew spent the whole war period in Chile, in interned German sailing vessels. One of the original vessels of the fleet, the Carl Rudgert Vinnen, was captured in Australia at the outbreak of the war, and sailed later under the Red Ensign. She was lost off the coast of South America a few years ago. NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY. The New Zealand Shipping Company has received advice of the following movements: The Kent, from Opua, is due at Auckland on Monday, and will sail two days later for London, via Montevideo and Las Palmas. The Carpentaria is expected to leave Lyttelton to-morrow for London, via Montevideo and Las Palma®. The Peshawur, which left Liverpool on January 8 for Auckland, should reach her destination about February 21, and will load under Federal agency at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Bluff. The Remuora, which left Southampton on December 18, arrived at Colon on January 4. and sailed two days later for Auckland, where she is due about February 5. Thence Lyttelton and Wellington, and is set down to sail for Southampton, via Panama, on Febuuny 17.
