MARIPOSA IN GALE.
Furnishings Lashed Down on Passage. (Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND. May 9. Tossed in heavy seas, which were whipped by a strong gale from the south-south-west, the Oceanic liner Mariposa, with 261 passengers on board, experienced the worst trip of her transTasman career on the voyage from Sydney, which she completed this morning. The passengers and crew had an uncomfortable time and the furnishings of the vessel moved about to such an extent that it was necessary finally to lash them in place. A few chairs were damaged and some crockery and glassware was smashed, but none of the vessel’s permanent fittings was damaged. In the difficulty of attempting to keep their feet, several passengers received bruises and scratches and a member of the purser’s staff received a cut over the eye which necessitated attention by a doctor.
