AORANGI AT AUCKLAND
FAST RUN FROM VANCOUVER (Speci.u to Dailt Times.) AUCKLAND. June 11. The steamer Aorangi was twice delayed before she finally berthed at Auckland this morning. The first delay occurred at Vancouver, where she waited a day for the English mails to come overland, and the second when she encountered a heavy fog on entering the Waitcmata, which made her two hours late on the last radio advice received from her.- The delay at Vancouver was due to the Aquitania, which le f t Southampton on May 12, being held up by a storm over the Atlantic. She arrived a day late at New York, and consequently the English and European mails she brought for New Zealand did not reach Vancouver until Thursday, May 24. The Aorangi’s usual sailing day from Vancouver is Wednesday. The vessel, however, made up much of the lost time on a fast trip over, via Honolulu and Suva.
