A quantity of wool is also at hand ready to be shipped.

The ship _ made :the passage in- 90 days and an incident of. it was truly startling. To" . quote the - Dunedin Herald—-" . Crossed the • "•■' meridiah'of Greenwich on December sth, lat. 44.51 S. Wheninlong. 2^28 E. at midnight next day she passed a iarge.iceberg. The'weather.at the time -was thick ahdyclbudy, but occasionaUy': brightened up. At 4 a.m. on the 6th, nine huge V bergs were passed, along witha quantity of floe ice. - The, ship^ during tms % time was going under easy sail,' the proximity to ice being indicated by the fall of the thermometer. " The vessel was running between icebergs until 8 '■•a.m. on the^ Bth, when the last one" was gladly'jleft be- : hihdy Several of those seen were two or [three .. miles long and 150 ft. high and upwards. ' The. sight at night when the haze Uftedj as it did > '-.'••' occasionally, was y described as vbemg, : truly ' ; ' gT,and.> ' When one -huge berg wbuld ! crash . against another the force Of the contact emitted a sound like thunder. .. Having got rid of such uhw : elcome visitors, westerly .winds carried her down to'the Cape of Good Hope, which was rounded on^December 10th, in lat. 43.20 S." The remainder of the' passage was marked by a good . ..deal bf theavy weather r but otherwise was un:eventful. V : -•■"'-. V •- ' - V (by ELEOraIO 'TELEGBAra.^ -I ' V "'.v ix'ff'. '-' --'A ':.
