Holmdale, s.s. Alert, scow. Awanui. schooner. The Huddart-Pairker Co.’s Wimmera arrived from South early on Saturday morning, and sailed later for Auckland and Sydney. . . . The U.S.S. Co.’s Flora arrived from South early on Saturday morning. The original, arrangement was that she should he tendered at 2Tp.m., but it was found that at that time, one hour before low water, the Tuatea was stuck hard and fast in the mud at the wharf, and it was not until 5 p.m. that the tender was able to get out. The Flora was ready to sail at 6 p.m., but on account of the thick north-easterly weather she did not leave the bay until midnight. The prospects of working the coast bays in this weather are considered to he extremely unfavorable, apd the vessel may go on direct to Auckland. Messrs Richardson and Co.’s Weka arrived from Najher on Saturday morning with a general cargo, including 6000 ft timber, 30 strainers, and 550 posts. She returned about noon, tak- > ing some general cargo, which will be delivered at 'Whangawehi on, the way down. The schooner Awanni anived in the bay from Auckland on Saturday afternoon, and was brought 'alongside the wharf at 7 p.m. She left Auckland on the 15th ult., arriving at Mercury Bay the following day. Here she lay idle until the 23rd inst., the only deep water berth being engaged by the ketch Coronation and barquentme PendJe Hill, which were both loading there. The Awanui was loaded on the 25th inst., but did not get away owing to a heavy north-easterly gale. She finally left on August 31st in the early morning but owing to the absence of -wind she’did not get out of the bay until 2 p m She crossed the Bav of Plenty in a heavy northerly gale, changing to the. west, and passed East Cape at 10 a.m. on Wednesday last. Light winds prevailed down the coass until off Fologa, where a southerly sprang up, and, the vessel ran, in and anchored in Tologa Bay on Thursday night.

“ ... . . : /. ; , a . full cargo of coal for the + Sheepfarmers’ Frozen Meat Co., Ltd. Sue left her loading port on Tuesday morning, and experienced the same, heiayy weather as the schooner Awanui, only perhaps in a worse degree, as she was compelled to heave-to on the northern side of the East Cape on Wednesday. She- -rounded the Cape on Wednesday night, but was again forced to heaveto in the heavy southerly which sent the Awanui into Tologa Bay. -She then, drifted back found the Capo, and re-passed it again southward .bound _at 11 a.m. on, Saturday morning, arriving in the bay at 3 a.m. yesterday. The Maoriland S.S. co.’ 6 Holmdale arrived from Greymouth yesterday morning after a rather tempestuous passage. She brought a full cargo of timber for this port, including 10,000 foot for the Poverty Bay Rowing Club s new building. . The U.S.S. Co.’s Monowai returned from Auckland early yesterday _afternoon, and left again for South m the evening. She experienced very thick and heavy weather crossing the Bay of Plenty. \ ' , . The U.S.S. Co.’s Squall is expected to leave Auckland this afternoon for Tologa Bay and Gisborne, with general Ca Alt hough no official announcement has yet been made regarding the ferry service arrangements, it is understood that the Mararoa, which lias been laid up in Wellington for two or three months and which is now being overhauled and painted, will come down to Lyttelton, and after being dry-docked, will relieve the Maori on Saturday, September 25. The turbine steamer Will be withdrawn for a few days to undergo her annual overhaul, and on resuming her regular running, the Mararoa will take the place of the Pateena, which will then go out of the service. The following are probable sailings of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion steamers for the 1910 season :—R.M.S. Corinthic, January 27, due London March 10; Arawa, ebruary 24, due London April 7; Tarimi, March 24, due London, May 6; lonic, April 21, due London June 2; Athenic, May 19, due London June 30; Corinthic, June 16, due London July 28. All the steamers except the Corinthic will call at Rio de Janerio and Monte Video, and the Corinthic will do likewise.’ if sufficient inducement offers. The already famous yacht Carnegie, of which all the world has heard almost as soon as her designs were completed was recently launched by the Tebo Yacht Basin Company, Brooklyn. She was built for the Carnegie Institute for the purpose of making an entire new-magetic survey, and her remarkable feature is that she is almost free from magnetic substances. She is a smart-looking sailer, but is fitted with auxiliary engines, which give her another claim to notice, as the power is supplied by a producer-gas plant, making her one of the pioneers in the use of the new motive power. When she puts out to sea on her maiden voyage the only bit of steel or iron in her will be the steel piston rod of the engine. This is so situated as to have no effect upon her compasses, and in. this way no allowances for compass deviations will be necessary. The gas-producer plant is constructed of copper. It will generate gas for 150 horse-power marine engine, which will give the vessel a speed of six knots. The Carnegie will be rigged as a brigantine, and will have a sail area of 12,900 square feet. She is 155 feet 6 inches over all in length, 128 feet on the load water-line, with a beam of 33 feet, depth of hold 12 feet nine inches, and a mean draft of 12 feet 9 inches. It is expected that over 15 years will he spent before the work for which she is l designed is completed.
