The Star 8 July 1886
Port Chalmers, July 4

The Arawa, 5,200 tons, 3500 hp, Captain J. Stuart, from Plymouth, via the Cape and Hobart, arrived off the Otago Heads at 8 p.m. on Saturday, bringing 2000 tons of cargo and 140 passengers for New Zealand ports. Her mails, consisting of 19 bags and 5 packages for ports up to Napier, were brought ashore at Port Chalmers at 11 p.m. yesterday. Two deaths have occurred on the voyage, that of John Hickson, aged 22 years, from consumption, on June 14, and John Ahern, a baby, on the next day, from pneumonia. The Arawa's passage from Plymouth to the Otago Heads has occupied 41 days 15 hours and 28 minutes. She has on this occasion steamed 233 miles more than she did on the last voyage from Capetown to Hobart. The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company have issued orders that their steamers, in future, shall be sailed on the rhomb-line instead of the composite great circle, in order to avoid as far as possible the bad weather experienced far south, and minimise the risk from ice. Her average speed for the voyage is 13.6 knots per hour, or 330 knots per day. The last day's work was 391 miles. Moderate weather was experienced throughout. With the exception of the purser, Mr G. Rowe, the staff of officers are the same as when she was last here. She left the Heads at 10.30 last night for Auckland direct. Passengers: For Lyttelton: Saloon - Mrs Mathews
