ARRIVAL OF THE SHIPZEALANDIAFROM
LONDON |
At about twenty minutes
past nine last night the lights of a steamer were
seen to come rapidly round the North Head and
a few minutes afterwards the sound of a horn could
be heard, which at once announced the fact that
the R.M.S.S.Zealandiawas the steamship
coming in. At a quarter to ten she was off the
Railway Wharf and the firing of her gun at that
time had the effect of bringing together on the
wharf all the officials who are usually in attendance
upon the mail steamers. Under the charge of Pilot
SAINTY the vessel was soon moored alongside the
Queen-street Wharf and the work of discharging
theZealandiawas at once commenced. The
steamer is upon the present trip fairly patronised
by passengers, whilst her freight list is a little
above the average. We notice amongst the items
one of 2561 sacks barley.
TheZealandiacomes into port in splended
order, a fact that reflects very highly upon
Captain WEBBER and his officers and her present
trip of 20 days 3 hrs may be placed to her credit
as one of the fastest trips made, putting the
vessel as it does into this harbour fully three
days in advance of timetable date.
