On the last day of the year 1880, the ship ‘Berwickshire’ left Greenock for Wellington, but after being a month at sea had to return to port owing to the damage caused to ship and cargo by the shifting of the large pipes for the Wainui-o-mata water supply. Among the cargo were several packages containing Scotch Winceys shipped to the order of James Smith, Te Aro House, and as a considerable portion of these were damaged, it is intended to offer them on Saturday at such prices as will render an early visit that day to Te Aro House exceedingly advantageous to all purchasers.
