147. GROUP OP ADMIRAI/rV ISl.ANUS BOWIES. 



Wednesday, Oct. 30. Arrived at Wellington at daylight, 

 but the doctor, as usual, delayed us and it was long after breakfast 

 before we went ashore. Went to the Tourist Bureau and found 

 that Mr. B. Wilson had replaced Mr. Donne who is now in London, 

 He gave us much information and wired to Fairlie to learn the 

 state of the roads to Mt. Cook, for it was very early in the season,
