NEWS OF CAP PILLAR

ROUND-THE-WORLD CRUISE NEW ZEALANDER ABOARD [ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND, Nov. 22. The first information to reach New Zealand of the movements of the English barquentine Cap Pilar, whicn left Auckland on September 17 to continue her cruise around the world, has been received by the parents of 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 the Cap Pilar left Auckland it was thought that Captain Seligman, master and owner, intended to go by easy stages to San Francisco, ana until the vessel reached Mangareva the crew shared this opinion. Now, however, Sutherland says the Cap Pilar is going by way of the Marquesas and, possibly, of Tahiti to South America. Here he thinks they will call at Valparaiso, Lima and Panama. Although the work on board was hard for some days before the New Zealanders became accustomed to it, Sutherland says the voyage up to Mangareva was very interesting and he enjoyed his first South Seas Island thoroughly.-
