| ARRIVAL OF THE 'IDA ZIEGLER.' | ||||||||
| The favourite clipper ship 'Ida Ziegler' Captain A. Reynolds, fetched her anchorage in the harbour at noon yesterday, after | ||||||||
| one of her usually rapid passages from England. She was signalled at 4.30 p.m. on Thursday, arrived at 6.30; and Captain | ||||||||
| Burgess boarded her off Tiri at eleven p.m., working her up all night with light winds. Brought up at seven a.m. yesterday, off | ||||||||
| the Rough buoy, on account of ebb tide and calm, and got underweigh again at eleven, running up with a fresh sea breeze. | ||||||||
| The 'Ida Ziegler' left the docks on the 17th August, and Plymouth on the 24th, experiencing light winds and fine weather down | ||||||||
| the channel. Kept to the westward of Madeira and Cape de Verds, without sighting them. Experienced favourable N E trades, | ||||||||
| which were caught in 31° north, carrying on the ship to 9° 40' N. Caught the S. E. trades in 4° north Crossed the Equator on | ||||||||
| the 18th September, in 27° west. Met with a detention in the south east trades by experiencing a severe south-west gale in | ||||||||
| 20° 20' south and 28° west. The gale lasted two days. The weather cleared up on the 29th September. On the 28th | ||||||||
| September, sighted the island of Trinidad. After this gale had a succession of fine weather to the meridian of the Cape, which | ||||||||
| was passed in 40° south on the 13th October. The weather was unsettled from thence to the Tasmanian coast. Encountered | ||||||||
| a teriffic gale on the 30th October, in 44° south and 44° south and 94° east, shipping heavy seas, staving all the skylights in, | ||||||||
| and washing away the quarter boat. This gale lasted thirty-six hours. The easting was run down between the parallels of 44° | ||||||||
| and 45°. Sighted the south-east cape of Tasmania on Tuesday, 11th November, at one pm, distant about thirty miles. From | ||||||||
| thence to near the New Zealand coast experienced fine weather, with northerly winds. The wind chopped round to the south- | ||||||||
| west within a day's sail of the Three Kings. Sighted the Three Kings at 10 a.m on the 18th. Passed the North Cape a few | ||||||||
| hours afterwards, and run up the coast with light and variable winds, making the passage from port to port in eighty-eight | ||||||||
| days. Curious enough the mail steamer, containing English papers announcing the departure of the 'Ida Ziegler' from Plymouth, | ||||||||
| steamed past that ship when running up the harbour. The ship is in clean and creditable condition, and is sufficient evidence of | ||||||||
| the attention of her commander and officers. The general health of the passengers was good. There were two births on board | ||||||||
| the passengers speak highly of Captain Reynold's conduct on the voyage. The following testimonial was presented to him | ||||||||
| before entering the harbour — | ||||||||
| To CAPTAIN A. Reynolds Sir— We the undersigned passengers of the 'Ida Ziegler' now on the eve of completing her voyage | ||||||||
| to New Zealand, feel that we cannot separate from you without an acknowledgment of our obligation to you. Your untiring | ||||||||
| attention to the duties of your command, and your uniform kindness to us as passengers, and concern for our comfort, render | ||||||||
| such an expression no less your due, than it is a pleasure to us to convey it. Our best wishes will ever attend you. May you be | ||||||||
| favoured with many and prosperous years as a commander in the British merchant service. | ||||||||
