The 12,0C0-ton liner Armagh (sailed from Wellington during the recent storm for Lyttelton, but returned to the stream "shortly afterwards. From information gathered, states the Dominion, it appears that she had a precarious few miniates when endeavoring to beat out of the entrance to Cook Strait. An eyewitness reported that she was badly tossed by big seas. In a howling gale, in drenching rain, with seas breaking over her bow, the ferry steamer Wahine bravely battled her way from Wellington in/the teeth of a southerly "buster" last night (states the. Christchruch Sun of Tuesday). She did not reach Lyttelton until 11.45 this morning, but the "greyhound" of the ferry service came out of the ordeal with flying colors, after experiencing one of the worst passages during the whole of the vessel's commission in the ferry service. When she berthed at the Lyttelton wharf this morning, the Wahine was almost live hours behind her schedule time. With passengers totalling 404. including Australian, New Zealand, and Canterbury Rugby footballers, and 60 immigrants from tho liner Corinthic. the Wahine left Wellington last evening at 7.50 a'clock, in the teeth of tho southerly, though fhe full force of the gale was not felt until she. got out into the strait. The crossing of Cook Strait took about four hours. Capo Campbell was reached at midnight, and from there on conditions gradually became -worse, with mountainous head seas and alternate squalls of rain and bail. Quite tho worst part of the voyage was the passage from Kaikoura to Lyttelton, the vessel making little way against the fierce and biting wind. TELEGRAPHIC SHIPPING.
