She sails on Monday lor Nelson and New plymouth. The cargo sleamer ("ty of Agra, which is running under the A. and A. Hag, left New York on September :; for LyUclton and Dunedin, via Panama Canal. She is due at Lyttelton ahonl Hie middle of next monthj. The vess-'l ton, hul alter discharge in Hi, south will go across h> Australia. An exceptionally rough passage "as experienced t>y the Wimiuera. wh'.ch arrived in Wellington early yesterday morning from Melbourne, when- she has been undergoing overhaul for Hie past month (savs the "Post"). from Hie ~ ilsel ol llic voyage very heavy southerly gales were met with, accompanied by high seas, which considerably delayed the vessel's progress. These conditions prevailed until Cape Farewell was sighted, when a strong north east gale was encountered. The Wimmera brought !lfl(l tons of general cargo, including transhipments ex the Arabia, Indianic, Ksscx, Zcalandia. l-oongana, Dimhoola, Walton Hall, Port Lincoln, and Kannala. The appearance of the auxiliary scow Vesper, which was found floating bottom uppcrmosi oil' Whangaparapara, (beat Harrier, on September HI, is suggestive of the experiences of the crew isavs the "Auckland Herald"!. The Vesper is \\ ing on the beach at Drake:, and a median e was engaged yrslerda.\ in overhauling her Iv.u Oi! engines. The hull of the Vesper bears evidences in ha,.ng been severh strained by the buffeting of the seas, and she is leaking in several places.
