The _Pareora_ was broken up in 1889. The _Waitara_ came to her end by colliding with the _Hurunui_ in the English Channel on 22nd June, 1883. The _Rangitiki_ was sold to the Norwegians and renamed _Dalston_. She was resold in 1909 for £1500 and went to New Caledonia as a hulk. The _Waimea_ was sold to the Norwegians and wrecked on the South African Coast in 1902. The _Mataura_ brought the first cargo of frozen meat from New Zealand, arriving on 26th September, 1882, being fitted with Haslam’s patent dry air refrigerator. She was then rigged as a barque. She was eventually sold to the Norwegians and renamed _Alida_. On 24th August, 1900, she was dismasted in the Pacific and abandoned. The _Raikaia_ also went to the Norwegians and was renamed _Marie_. She was again sold, to Boston shipowners, for 4850 dollars, and is once more sailing the seas under her old name. The _Waikato_ was sold to the Germans and her name changed to _J. C. Pfluger_. They sold her in 1900 to Californian owners, who sailed her out of Frisco rigged as a barquentine. She is now a hulk disguised under the name of _Coronado_. The _Waimate_, from noon on 26th November to noon 27th November, in 1881, covered 354 miles in the 23½-hour day running the easting down in lat. 47° S. In the p.m. the sea was smooth and the wind gradually freshening, Captain Mosey who was making his first voyage in the ship, hung on to his main royal until the first watch, the wind being on the port quarter. By daybreak the wind was dead aft with bright sunshine and a clear sky, but with a very big sea running. Her best week’s run was from the 27th November to 3rd December, being 1807 miles. _Waimate_ was a skysail yarder, and with the wind abaft the beam could be made to travel, but she was nothing extraordinary with the yards on the backstays. She was once in company with Shaw, Savill’s _Marlborough_ off the Snares. With the wind free she had the best of it, but as soon as they hauled up to stand along the New Zealand Coast the _Marlborough_ passed her without any trouble. Two years later _Waimate_, with Captain Mosey still in command, ran from Lyttelton to the Scillies in 71 days. She was sold by the N.Z.S. Co. to the Russians and renamed _Valkyrian_. She went missing in 1899. _Waitangi_ is still afloat flying Norwegian colours under the name of _Agda_. _Hurunui_ is also, I believe, still afloat under the Russian flag, her name being _Hermes_. _Orari_ was sold to the Italians in 1906 and converted into a hulk in 1909. “Otaki’s” Record Passage Home.
