A Rough Voyage
ULIMAROA FROM SYDNEY VESSEL RECEIVES BUFFETTING (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night. The 370 passengers carried by the Ulimaroa when she arrived at Welling-
ton from Sydney was a record number for the vessel. Both of the ship's
classes wore well tilled, the first class passengers including members of a theatrical company. During the past few weeks there has been a decided improvement in the number of passengers travelling to New Zealand from Australia. ,
It is unfortunate for those included in the Ulimaroa’s record list, that the trip was a particularly unpleasant one. The ship left Sydney at noon on Friday and immediately ran into southerly and south-westerly weather. The conditions were cold and w-ct. and strong winds drove before them high seas, the ship being continually swept with spray. Conditions wore at their worst on Sunday. There was no improvement until this morning. The Ulimaroa came through the. bad weather well and it left no visible traces upon her.
