Of the troops 93 8 are for Canterbury, 27 for Nelson and Picton, 40 for West Coast, and 436 for Otago. The Corinthic, which is a clean ship, will be berthed at 6 a.m. to-morrow. A special train leaves for Invercargill at 8 a.m. with the southern, men.
CHRISTCHURCH, April 22. The Corinthic had an uneventful trip, and there was very little sickness aboard. The passage was smooth until a week ago, when fairly heavy weather was encountered. Many of the men showed keen interest in the educational classes, particularly shorthand. The men speak most enthusiastically of the warm heartedness of the residents of Colon. A small paper, the "Corinthic Hail," was published five times during the voyage.
