As all three are unusually smart vessels, and are sailed by masters each of whom has left with a determination to read the news of the other's arrival over his breakfast table in Cork, Falmouth, Queenstown or London in the morning papers, a fine ocean race is intended.

Transcriptions from Otago Witness Saturday March 31st 1883 Page 14
Saturday. Arrival.
The s.s. Waitaki arrived at Port Chalmers at 9.30 a.m. yesterday.
She left Timaru at 4 p.m. on Thursday, and encountered strong S.S.W. winds and a
high sea during the passage. Captain White reports that about 1 p.m. on the 22nd
a strong S.S.W. squall passed over Timaru, and did considerable damage to the
shipping there. The stern mooring of the Waitaki first gave way, and she
swung on to the ship Ugglan's moorings, doing considerable damage to the
Waitaki's rail. Next the barque Rewa broke adrift from her
moorings and fouled the Ugglan, carrying away that vessel's rudder,
spanker-boom, and steering gear, doing at the same time considerable damage to
her own head-gear.
An attempt was made by the steamers Titan and Waitaki to tow the
Ugglan closer in, but owing to the strong gale and heavy sea the
attempt was given up, as the ship was riding steadily; while the Waitaki was
compelled to slip her anchor with 75 fathoms chain, together with her rope
moorings, and stand to sea as above.

The barque Monarch has taken in over 10,000 sacks of grain.
The ship Benan put out the last of her cargo yesterday, Her
destination is at present unfixed.
The barque Mennock is rapidly filling up. She is to sail for
London on Wednesday.
The ship Wellington has discharged about 600 tons of cargo.
The ship Invercargill was towed up from the stream yesterday
afternoon, and berthed at the pier.
The ship Westland was towed to sea yesterday afternoon by the
s.s. Plucky, and sailed for London, taking four passengers and the
following cargo:-
3640 bales wool £72,800 5 bales sheepskins 100 33 bales rabbitskins 759 37 bales leather 740 38 bales basils 380 1 bale 8 casks pelts 85 342 casks tallow 1,710 29_0 sacks wheat 2,910 300 cases meat 600 8 bales glue pieces 24 30 drums glycerine dip 35 Total value £80,143
The Westland left the port in splendid trim, and will no doubt
make a rapid passage Home. We trust Captain Moffatt may have bon voyage.
As some comments have been made as to the length of the British King's
passage out to Wellington, it is only fair to point out that she has come out to
New Zealand in shorter time than any previous steamer. Even the Mongol's
famous passage to Port Chalmers - 49½
Days net steaming time-was nearly two days longer than that of the British
King, which was slightly under 48 days. This is not bad work, especially
considering the adverse weather.-Post.
