Carter, commander of the Strathaird, made his second visit to New Zealand last week. It was as third officer on a sleaniEr bringing tea from India that Captain Carter spent sis hours in- Auckland in 1910. . Thus he did not have much time to see New Zealand, and, without examining his papers/ he is not able to recall the name of the vessel on which he. came. The. present voyage is Captain Carter's first in command of the' Strathaird. Tall and alert, he looks surprisingly young to have command of such a large vessel. LESS SWEDISH TONNAGE IDLE.
