A certain lady in Lyttleton, who, rtfther more fond of somebody else than of her husband, telegraphed to the same somebody else, who is supposed to be a resident in Wellington, to meet her on the arrival in Wellington recently. Unfortunately the faithless fair one left behind her a letter and protrait, which her lawful love discovered after she had gone, and alive to a sense of his duty, immediately took passage on what he imagined was the succeeding boat to the one in which his spouse had "vamoosed." Getting aboard, and feeling inclined fur a "liquor" after the vessel had got fairly on the way, he came into the saloon for it, and while unfolding the story of woes to a sympathising listener, he turned his head and Baw in the doorway of an opposite cabin the object of his pursuit — his wife. — Tableau.
