The Totara shipped general cargo for Wellington and New Plymouth at Timaru yesterday and sailed for Lyttelton. The Breeze, on the Wellington, Picton and Wanganui run, is scheduled to arrive to-day from the south. Hauraki from Pacific Coast. The Union Company’s motor ship Hauraki left Los Angeles on November 5 for Papeete, Tonga, Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Australia. She is due at Auckland on December 1. Mamari to Leave London The Shaw, Savill and Albion steamer Mamari is to leave London on November 14 for Suva, Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, Bluff, and Napier. She is due at Lyttelton about December 25. Tasman Record Holder. Another speedy trip from Auckland to Sydney ended when the liner Mariposa, holder of the trans-Tasman speed record for ships, arrived two days sixteen hours after leaving Auckland on Friday. Her record, made in March this year, is two days eleven hours forty minutes, with an average speed of 21.41 knots. With a large list of passengers from America and Island ports and a further 160 from Auckland, the Mariposa sailed from Prince’s wharf at 5.30 on Friday afternoon, arriving in Sydney at 7.30 a.m. on Monday, Australian time, or 9.30 a.m. New Zealand time. The trip was therefore made at an average speed of nearly twenty-one knots between pilot and pilot. This vessel and her sister ship Monterey usually spend about three days on the journey between Auckland and Sydney. The Mariposa’s record was made when she left Auckland at 5 p.c. on Friday, March 23, and arrived in Sydney at 4 a.m. the following Monday. Even this performance was not made at full speed, as the two white liners are designed for a speed of approximately 25 knots. Ruahine Due Next Week. The New Zealand Shipping Co. has received a radio message that the Ruahine, which sailed from London on October 4, is expected to arrive at Wellington at 7 a.m. on November 14, where passengers will disembark. The Ruahine will proceed thence to Lyttelton, being due there on November 15. NEW ZEALAND PORTS By re!et?raDft—Press Association AUCKLAND, November 9.
