N. q. was communicated to him. In view of the storm which the fleet encountered on It's way from Honolulu 1t was scarcely expected that It would arrive at Auckland before midnight of the sth Washington time). which would bring the news of the arrival to the United states in the ordinary course. some time Sunday afternoon.
 The fleet following its Itinerary which was due to reach Auckland on the afternoon of the sth Instant (Wash- ington tfme) and this achievement 1t has accomplished, although 1t was nec- essary by reason of the violent storm for Rear Admiral Sperry in command to increase the speed of the ships from ten to twelve knots an nshour. The effi- ciency of the fleet has been proved and the manner in which 1t weathered the storm through which 1t just has pass ed, the most severe It has encountered since 1t left Hampton Roads. has cre- ated the greatest eradication among officers of the Navy Department"
