    3. HBH 1892 Oct 3 2 Shipping Notes The s.s. Te Anau, Captain TODD, arrived from SYDNEY and the North at daylight yesterday. She reports fresh westerly and variable winds, with fine weather down the coast. She was tendered by the s.s. Ahuriri for passengers and cargo, and steamed for WELLINGTON at 1.30 pm. There were no outward passengers. The s.s. Industry which arrived at MELBOURNE from NEWCASTLE on the 18th ult, reports that when crossing TWO-FOLD BAY on the 16th ult, she passed through a large school of sperm whales, accompanied by an immense number of sea birds. The stem of the steamer struck one of the whales, and the creature rolled along the starboard side, causing a great quantity of water to come on board. The Three-masted schooner Frank Guy, which went ashore some time back at Woolgoolga, NEW SOUTH WALES, has been got off, and sailed for AUCKLAND on the 20th of last month.
