CAP PILAR’S VOYAGE By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, November 23. The first information to reach New Zealand of the movements of the English barquentlne Cap Pilar, which left Auckland on September 17 to continue her cruise around the world, has been received by the parents of Mr B. Sutherland a lawyer, who came from Paeroa to join the ship. His letter was posted from Mangareva, which the sailing-ship reached in the second week of October. When .lie Cap Pilar left Auckland it was thought that Captain Seligman, master and owner, intended to go by easy stages to San Francisco, and until the vessel reached Mangareva the crew shared this opinion. Now, howevc". Mr Sutherlanc. says the Cap Pilar is going by way of the Marquesas, and possibly cf Tahiti, to South America. Here he thinks they will ca” at Valparaiso, Lima, ano Panama.

Although the work on board was hard for some days before the New Zealanders became accustomed to it, Mr Sutherland says the voyage up to Mangareva was very interesting, and he enjoyed his visit to the South Seas island thoroughly.
