WEST COAST SOUNDS.

Notes of the Tarawera's Trip,

[Ry a Passenger.]

•' ARK you a good sailor, Mr ■! Yes, ve ry, never ill; cano from tbo Old Country -rough passage, but rather enjoyed it; been about tUe coast in the small steamers ; aH tight! " But I had never been on one of the larger boat?, like Una To Aiiau, in which I was bouucl for Port Chalmers to join the "Sounds Excursion," It was delightful for the fus,t day and night-large comp»ny on board, everybody in good onirita eldcilV gcntloinen deeply versed in J&.K k-owfedge instruct^ wmsm mmm amuses us. But there came a change ; It ?s not " ways May," "either w the sea iiwws like a looking-glass, There came that Ion", low swell, which quietly lifted you up to the zenith almost, whence you as Suiotly desoe.nl, fceiiug very light in the fiend. Wm it possible that £ ? No! It neither might, could, wonld, nor shoii d he. The next meal came, and in vastly diminished numbors we appeared at table, Bitting moro solemnly, and with a certain determination in the face. Tinkle, tinuio, and oft "0 the covers, instantly revealing a variety of greasy di*c."; that was plenty for some of us. nil we went too a? quickly as the cover*. It w a long nud tedious journey down the const. 'Hie only interesting part of it is that bit south of Kast Cape.when thaigrand mountain, Hiknrangi, comes into view, rearing his noble head above the veil of clouds which covored his breast. Arriving at Port Chalmers wo find the Tarawera waiting for our con tinoent to the Souuds trip. It had been in creasing at every port at which we called, and there began to be uneasy feelings amount us as to where and how so many people could be stowed with any approach to comfort. However being immediately transhipped we soon found what admirable arranaoments had boon made for the really largo number of 175 passengers, all being one class and taken at one price. All the first class berths wore given up to ladies, and married couples, the second class berths being occupied by gentlemon only, aud then the hold of the ship had been neatly fitted up with temporary bcrthe, bath rooms &c, &c, for tho largo balance of gentlemen which still remained to bs accomodatod. Each of us was presented with a pamphlet containing a printed list of tho passengers information about our future proceedings and also a map of the Sounds on a good large scalo Our meals were taken in two divisions the starboard side having tint turn one day and the port side tho next. An excellent table was kept. The largo stock of provisions which had been laid in, included numbers of shotp and cattle and GOO head of poultry. There was a small army of stewards, butchers, bakers, cooks and others en gaged in addition to the ordinary staff ot the ship. Our passeguer list included almost every variety of culling aud social position there was a Lord aud a Baronet or two, for those who are fond of snch things, D.D.'a—M.D.'s and Professors by the dozen's; three photographers, and about half-a-dozen artists. And then the ladies; how shall I classify them ? well having no letters to their names in the list one was compelled to judge simply by externals and so one might say there were old and young, (they will never hear us), those with twenty rings on others with none. Had I been a young man the division would havo been into plain and pretty, and that lattei class would certainly h&vo contained some msni bers well worthy of It; at least so I gathered from the young men on board. Good humour and a disposition to make the best ofthingsprovailodandtbcrewereno grumblers except those who wished to im press upon you what very much grander things they were accustomed to at home— they had their reward. And now having steamed past the Blaff the coast begins to alter its appearance, hills and mountains streaked with snow show themselves in the distance, and romind us that the famous Sounds are not very far away. And then we reach the entrance to Preservation Inlet where our wonder-land begin. The fore castle and every point of vantage the ship affords is crowded with eager lookers our, every one being anxious to got an idea of what is in store for him, aud to ?ee for him seli what the scenery is like. The young fellows even stop their deck quoits for a few minutes, and passing into perfectly smooth water the most delicate of tho ladies cau leave her cabin, and look about her. " Well, and what are Sonnds like?" say you I answer gut the shilling guidp, look, aud you can read for yourself a better description than I enn write, these are only a few notes on this particular trip, and in any deacriptive re marks 1 shall just speak of the " Sjiuhls" altogether, with the exception of Alilford Sound, which stands entirely by itself, the others being all more or less alike in. their general features, the southerly ones being the quietest, while the scenery increases in grandeur as you go northwards, havinc a sudden and startling development iv Mil ford. The first thing that strikes you in a Sound is its exircme narrowness, this im pression being heightened by Ihe boldness of the hills and cliffs on either side. And then the depth of thorn. You are aston ished toseeyour greatshipof 2000 tons steam ing along sometimc3 through pissages hardly wider, if so wide.as her own length, And so great is the depth that there is no anchorage till you get to the very end of tho sound, and then the anchor Is dropped in 45 fathoms, so noar tho shore that it, at any rate, loots as if you might throw a biscuit there. The cliffs and bluffs on each hand of you are backed up by high hills and mountains getting higher and higher as you advance inland, the view being closed in by somo lofty *peak streaked with perpetual snow. The hills are almost all covered with wood, evan where their Bideß form nearly perpendicular cliffs. It is simply wonderful to see the trees clinging to what would otherwise be naked walls of rock. The buah is strik ingly different from what we are accus tomed to in the North. The timber is much smaller, having generally a. dwarfed appearanoe. There is an absence of those uniform-lewd and flag-like plants which are so conspicuous in our forests. Tree ferns, too, are almost absent: what few there are seem very small. < tner ferns are abnndant enough—and moss ! Where did anyone over see such moss—knee-deep on the ground, and clothing ev.ry hole and branch, of the ancient-looking trees, often making them seem quite misshapen with massive excrescences. Unfortunately for us, our trip is made rather- too late in the season. At tho proper timcyibout Christmas, the now somawhat sombre woods are splen didly variegated"by the crimson rata, and by trees coverad with yellow and orange flowera. We saw some remains of thejn, enough to give vi an idea what the best time would be like.

In the more, northerly "sounds, especially in Hall's Arm and Wet Jacket Arm, the rocks bscorue so precipitous that many of them cannot possibly euppott vegetation, and theD, the scenery is diversified by frowning masses of russet, gray and purple gray, 1 shall nevsr forget that Fall's Arm, We steamed slowly between lofty precipices of this sort, so close together, one felt every moment "the ship can't go any further," yet another narrow strait kept opening up before, and closing behind, so that we seemed to be always in a small, very small lake, and one might be excused for wonder ing how we ever got there, while a little a-head the dark mountains rose into the sky. miat and cloud lloatiog about their feet. And the still water, perfectly calm, reflect ing every rook, tree and cloud in an un brokon mirror. Cascades are numerous through all the sounds, and add much to the interest of the scenery, They fall from enormous heights, and as the waters come plungiDg down into empty space they put on an appearance which no one can imagine who has not seen them, or describe who ns some one said the fall of the water re minded him of tha flight of rockets only coming down instead of going up; and the comparison was not a bad one. During the eaflier part of the day, we steamed through the Sounds or from one to the next, the passengers getting their fill of beauty; the artist 3 goiDg distracted be cause they could not seize all the glory they were passing through, poor fellows they make desperate efforts. One grand scene looms up, und out come the pencils and books, but by the time it i j roughly out lined, it is passing away and something grander still is taking its place. Had they possessed the power of stopping the steamer where they liked we should have been in the Tarawera yet. On one occasion just in one

of the grandest spot", in spite of all our captain's euro, our good ship just touched a concealed rock, wo did not like it rnnrh, but one of thoso rascally artists said "he did hope we were going to stop a hit then. It will be as well to soy here that tho ship was dry docked at Port Chalmers when it was found that all the harm that had been was just one rivet loosened. la the afternoon we used to anchor, but as thcro was no choice of anchorage it generally happened to be where there was the least to be Keen. Then out with the boats List of names were made up lor tho dillVvent' boats as far as pos'iblc of ueople who were similarly minded, No .1 - ookthe artists and photographers.say ;- No " -thorn who wore for fishing. Anothci number was marked down (surreptitiously) for llirtins, but that was scarcely necessary, is it did not seem incompatible with other nursuitJ. And we land on the rocks stained L lichen, nlgfu and weather with every colour a painter could wish tor. Aud over the rocks amongst tho iiiobs aud fern where the fern gathers, o£ whom there were many, had a grand harvest. Then what is this—a minute prick or a little bito-Ob, a sand lly ; yes, and another —and ten nioro—fifty wore; and soon we are driven almost mad with swarms of these pests. Those who liko myself have a cons eicntious objection to the use of piofauc luugiuigo wore placed at n groat disadvnn tnga for ouco. I have sodom felt the foßblouess of ordinal y interjections so much, These ilien wi re a *• rious drawback to Ihe pleasure of tho tiip— ninny mflercil from their bitus most seven ly, some had not got over ill ir effoo'S fivu or six duys after leav ing the Sounds, Had one only known about tho Hie* beforehand it would hive been quite easy to have p'oteclud oneself by long gloves going well up the wrist, aud a gauzo veil to go over tho (ape and tound the head. Xbo great speculation amongst us was what these things live upon in a general way, .seeing man only appears in this part of the country, at least most of it, but once a year. Thu boats return to the ship with great quantities of tish, and eray-flsh. The sports mcu have shot numbers of birds. The piiotographeis have got 'views,' and the artists have dove somethiug in spito of tho | ilius.

The excursion was to wind up with Mil ford Sound, ana that being by far the grand est we were to have spent about a couple of days there, but alas for our schemes 1 we had been a good deal troubled by rainy weather during tho earlier part of our trip, but at this latter and moro important part camo a steady down-pour. Wo were in Goorge Sound and could not get out, at least, we could not get from ther« to Mil foid, tho gloomy weather rendering it dan gorous to attempt steering amongst the black jagged and precipitous rocks that guard its entrance There we had to lie then, two long daya. 'lho lirst day was well enough, many of us made an excur sion by land to a lovely littlo lako reposing in a hollow amongst the mountains, sur rouuded by tho ancient moss covored forest, and pouring its waters into the Sound by a roariug cataract-, a striking contrast to its own placid surface. But tho socond day 1 A regatta was got up, and served to nmusc some, but the rest wanted to be iv Milford too much, to bo amused by anything.

There was oven somo fear that unless the weather cleared we might not bo nblo to get there at all. But next morning tho weather hud cleared to aomo extent, and so wo were just to stemi into Milford, up the Sound and dowh again. It was a grand dsy for seeing it, gloomy and tolemu ami gray, according well with the gloom and grandeur of the rocky precipices between which wo were slowly moving. At times tho form of the giant mountains would lo all hidden iv cloud, and then the cloud would be slowly withdrawn revealing or half-rovealing their marvellous forms. Then n peaked summit would be seen calmly rearing itself pbnve the gloom of this lower region, its snows brightened by n glare of sunshine, cascade* come tumbling on every baud, shootiog their watery rockots out of the clouds, we slowly turu round the mighty shoulder of a mountain, aud for the iirt-t timo in our lives many ot us behold a glacier. Now seen, now hidden by cloud, but at last rosolving to let us have a good view of its beauty. Iho water of the sound is a deep dark olive green, boking almost black iv some parts, Passing the Sterling Falls wo come to the Bowon lfaUfl 510 feet high. This full is divided into two purt*, the top half falls into a sort of basin, a somewhat narrow one for the voluina of water which pours into it; so the water bounds up wards into tho air again 30 or -10 feet falling over in nn arch and thundering down ou to the wild rocks nt the bottom, The ship did uot anchor, but lay to, while boats went up to l'resh Wntor Baniu convoy iaj; thosu who wi-hed to po Onshore the scene seemed moro impressive than ever on board. Turn which way you would you were surrounded by lofty mountain masses -i-their Mighty forms looming amongst the clouda. If one could havo been alone there —or with only a companion or so. But there were rather too many of iv, and, the young fellows felt the solemnity of the scene so much that thoy were obliged to sticK up beer bottles on ends and pelt them with stonos until they wero broken ; aud do other skylarking.

And so after a stay of about three hours we reluctantly left the glories of Milford Sound behind us; to be however a lite long memory ; one would have liked to re main there week-! instead of hours. How do thoso peaks look by moonlight I wondrr we were unfortunato in not having a moon duriDg our excursion—when auchored for the night it was strango to see the mountains gather round us—and through some optical illusions the summits would seem to be nearer than their bases, po that they would a[?ooar to overhang, as though thoy might fall and crush our (comparatively) little ship. Our evenings on bonrd wcro enlivened by concerts got up by the passengers, assisted by one or two of tha crew. And the-n, on ono evcniDg the sailors invited us to nn entoitainmcnt of their own; and as they aro all Scotchmen you may gess how tho praise of Bon-nee-cc-ee Scotland icsonnded through the Tarawera in thuir songs. Another evening was dovotod to a lecture on the sounds by Dr. Hector, who was on board. A« it was ho who made the Govern niont survey of them of course he i 3 well qualified to talk about tho subject. Amongst other interesting things he told us that when exploring Dusky Sound he found traces of its occupation by Captain Cook, who spent some time there, I forget how many jears ago. Our proceedings ware wound up by tho presentation of an address to the captain. It was presented in a speech by a distinguished D.D. from which we were all pleased to learn that be perso nally had enjoyed the scenery of the sounds beyond all d«scrjption. This was somewhat remarkable as in going through tho host parts ho would generally bo standing where he eould'nt sco anything discussing the affairs ot tho Presbytery with another individual equally interested. And so to Port Chalmers, and then the long dreary sail baak to Auckland,

Carlyle on Vegetarianism.

In Mr. Moncuro D. Couway's capital book on Carlylc thero is agood anecdote about a vegetarian who came with an introduction from Emerson. The American and Carlyle vtont for a walk. " Unfortunately," says Mr Conway, " his companion expatiated too much upon his then favourite topic, upon which Carlyle brol« out with, 'There's Piccadilly; there it has been for a hundred years, and there it will be when you and your damned potato gospel are dead and forgotten. I 'i'uis wab, of course, unani werable. It would be curious to know what report the visitor would make of this out break of petulance to Emerson, whose life long friend, A, Bronson Alcott, was a notable disciple of Pythagoras, and broufiht up his family, including that charming novelist the authoress of "Little Mon" and and "Work," in strict conformity with his vegetarian principles. A distinguished Continental authoress, whoso pleas for the gospel of vegetaiiauism have had a largo circulation in various languages, asked Carlyle to speak in favour of vegetarianism or against the slaughtering of animab, Ho replied, "An ox which is killed by one blow upon his haad is a thousand timos happier than millions of men who die after years of paiu and misery." Tbis reply was not improbably a reflex of bis dyspeptic sufferings, for there is ample testimony given by Mr Conway, that he was keenly sympathetic to animal life. " Never," said Carlyle, " can I forget the horror with which I once saw a living mouse put into (lie cage of a rattlesnake at the Zoological Gardens, to bo a luncheon for that reptile. The serpent fixed upon it his hard glittering eyes, and the poor little creature etood paralysed, trembling with terror It seemed to me a cruelty utterly un j ustiiiable, and one to be unceasingly protested against." Carlyle had always a severe anathema for vivisection and cruelty to animals,

TTITCHENS'S BLOOD RESTORER** FOX CLEANSING, PURIFYING, AND INVIGORATING THE BLuOD. Seven Years' Test in Auckland, nnHIS Medicine differs from ordinary pro. JL prietary preparations, inasmuch as it ' ■■■ was the product of years of study and investigation by an eminent pliysiciau of " § the Army Medical Staff, with whom Mr Hltchens served during the New Zealand War, as Assistant Dispenser to the lm perinl Tiroes. < n it- nitioductlon to the public as a speciiic for the cure of Rheumatism, rheumatic uout, Scrofula, Skin Diseases, Blood Impurities, and General Debility, ii quickly attained great celebrity, and Boon j wa? sought after from every part of New ! Zealand. ' • Its cuwtive and depuralive properties have been fully testified by the numerous '■.'■' testimonials received by the proprietor from patients who had long suflered from the above distressing maladies, who had an. ""' plied in vain to physicians for relief, and in ■» ? whose cases, Turkish Baths, Hot Springs,l I'.isV .V and other popular remedies had been re. . ; ,j sorted to without effect. This celebrated medicine is compounded ' from products of the vegetable kingdom, is'""' '! :'•'" palatable and easily taken, mild, but effec. , j1 M : tual, in its action upon the animal econ- '■'!■ omy. It is, in sooth, a veritable Blood ' KESTOEEE, cleansing it, and thereby rcstor. ing diminished vitality. It presents, ua- '!'': questionably, a purer, safer, better, and ;: m»re reliable alterative medicine than aoy , that has hitheito been available to the ' people. - p ']'■■■).■ MORE TESTIMONY! surprising cure • i To those who know what H itchens'Slood Restorer :' ,\: HAS DONF. , 1; |,;,, In the Auckland EVENING STAR of the '■:'. 27th April last, appeared the following ■ ' local, which explains itself :— •The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne In .j it > ballast, bound for Kaipara, put into har- i boar yesterday morning to obtain medical j aid for Captain Owens, master of the vese), who has been very unwell du>ing the latter -,'.{ part of the ynyage. Captain Owens, who has followed the seafaring profession for many year?, and had never until leaving Melbourne on Apiil 10th last, suffered bom . - illness of any severe nature, was suddenly ; ■ seized on that date with violent i ;«i pains io the back. Since then he / ; baa been swung up in a hammock ' • , in the cabin quite helpless. The vessel -. wa* off Kaipara at noon on Thursday last, tv» ''-' but the weath'-r bciig thick and foggy, it <■.. j . was deemed advisable to come on to Auck- o 1 41 land for medical assistance. The barque . H - arrived oarly yesterday morning, and Dr- -i ii ; ftfrore having been sent for, visited Capi i <l _~ Ownib, and gave instructions to the mate , < of tho vessel regarding treatment. The '•>'". invalid is *uffering from a species of .■,>:■■<: rheumatism of a severe nature, and the \,t doctor considers it advisable to effect a-' - ■•■ partial reen%'ery before atlempiing the r«. ■ i ■; moval of his patient to more suitable-U: quarters on shore. Capt. O*vtns is well known in Auckland, and many residents will be sorry to learn of his affliction." Rtftrring to above, Captain Owen has :' »:; this d»y (Ist December), stated: "After ■ I being treated for about five weeks by two «J*!;!"!'! I medical men successively, with very little < alteration in my condition, except that the ■ pain in my hands and back was made t somewhat easier through the effect of the '4 galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested , :,;[ I that I should, try what Kitchen's Blood Restorer would do, as it was being so <,! « ' talked about far and wide. "Without much... ~ -tfi '<$■> faith in it, I consented to try it, uuidid , i!3 t Fj not co^ice any good effect until I had taken ■ . 11 ■ about the third or fourth bottle, when my appetite docidedly quickened, and I felt ; I i that my strength was coming back t-J mo. ~ i ■ I then ceaapct to t:»ke the medicine, and .!• i allowed nature to■ lake i's cuirse, but v, U]M finding my apputite going, I stimulated it ...iOi-i by unall doses of the Keftnrtr, using no.. ,■ A/, other medicine, but applying the ointment . ; >* freely. By degrees my whole system i< nutjj ■ seemed to be invigorated; and now, after a ; ,A treatment of six months,l am able toie-n. \rm .;. sumo charge of my vessel, and am^icnly MM *j waiting her ai rival in port to do ro. I can . .?! easily walk four miles a day without .the J; !■■'■. slightest inconvenience. I consider my..: ,* ' friend's suggestion saved my life, and that < rtr», |( ' it ia a duty that I should publicly testify to '.-""> the extraordinary power of Hitchens's Blood* • Restoter over the severest cases of rheumat- 'f' r| . ism." : '••.
