VESSELS IN PORT. Nerehana, s.s., in the bay. The Maoriland S.S. Co.’s Holmdale completed the discharge of her. cargo yesterday, and sailed in the evening for Pictcn and Grey mouth. The lluddart-Parker Co.’s Wimmera arrives from, south tins morning; and sails later for Auckland and Sydney. The Tunica leaves the wharf at 6 a.m. and with outward passengers at 10 a.m. The following have booked passages: Mr. and Airs. A. F. Kennedy, .Mr. and Mrs. fippit, Misses Barker and Campbell. Mc.Msrmes C. Hyde and two children, Kissing and child,*Messrs Gouldsmith, YV. Avia r, Boucher, Cooper. and Jamieson. / The 17.8,5. 'Ch.’s- Monowai returns from Auckland io-morrow afternoon, and coutiit.ties i;oi 1 vovage‘ to southern ports in the evening. Outward passengers will leave the wharf at 7 p.m., instead of 5 p.m., as usual. The Tyser liner Nerehana will probably complete- her loading to-day. Messrs Richardson and Co.’s Rurji is clue to-morrow' from Napier with a general cargo-. The U.S.S. Co.'s Flora will not k-ave Napier until Monday, instead, of today. as was expected. She is now tuned to leave this port on Tuesday, for Coast bavs and Auckland. The if.S.S.. Co.> Squall is expected to arrive irom Auckland, via Tologa Bay, with a general cargo. . She returns to Auckland probably to-night. An examination of, the Kotare, which came into collision with the Pukaki recent!v in \ ictoria Channel, Otago harbor,'shows that the steamer has not sustained serious damage. The rigging and belting (says the ’‘Daily Times") suffered injury, and tue planking of the hull was fractured, but a gang of workmen was engaged on Friday effecting repairs, with the result that the boat was to he able, to leave Dunedin for W aika-wa as originally intended. No explanation of how the collision occurred is forthcoming, beyond the statement that the navigators on neither vessel were aware of the other’s wroxunit-y. Over 22,000 sacks of grain, in addition to frozen 'rabbits, mutton and general cargo, wore loaded at- Port Chalmers by the Shaw, Savill and Albion Co.’s Atheuic. This is said to- be the largest •shipment of grain ever made from Port Chalmers in one bottom. - Within a few days the Wellington Harbor Board will take their rocket life-saving apparatus out to Lyell Ray beach to carry out their periodical practice. The apparatus is accommodated in a four-wheeled vehicle, like a light fire reel, which is stored'near the Glasgow wharf ready for use in case of emergency. The full rocket brigade comprises fifteen men, which includes the pilot staff’s boat crow. The apparatus will he taken out by road, and the shots will be fired along the beach to a hillock upon which men will ho located as though thev were on a shin wrecked off the shore: The rocket, stand is about 9ft in length, and of the thickness of an extra large telescope. The light line attached to the rocket is an Italian hemp rope one inch in circumference. The rocket, can take this lino a di-tcnoe of from 500 yards to nearly half-a-mile, according to the wind and other <•"rcumstanees. \\ lien the rocket falls across the mark aimed at on the beach the usual course required in case of shipwreck is adopted. A 2Ain Manila rope is attached to the. light rocket line and is luiuk-d along: Lv tlio men on the imaginary wreck. Then they haul out the 3-Jin' Manila which has to bear the weight of the breeches buoy, in which the people are drawn ashore from a wreck. The whole operation is an interesting one, and owing to the Harbor Board men's' periodical practice the equipment would be exceedingly valuable in ease of a wreck in the vicinity of the port.
