In view of tho great improvement in tho depth of water on the iiokitika bar, It is oxpeoted that arrangements will be made for the Kalraki to load a full cargo of timber on tho occasion of her coxt trip (says "West Coast Times"). Sho carries nearly a quarter of a million super, feet. Tho Hoimdalo somo time ago loaded 142,000 feet which is tho present record for tho port. Mr. E. L. Barl has joined tho Arahum as second officer.

Details have been received of a repair job by the naval authorities at Gibraltar, whereby a now propeller blado was fitted to the steamer Indraghiri. Tho vessel was on. a passage from New York to tho Far East, and . when about 630 miles from Gibraltar it was discovered that a blade of the propeller had dropped off. On the steamer's arrival at Gibraltar it was decided that sho should duck to havo another bl.ido fitted to tho propeller. Tho cargo was of about BCOO tone dead weight, and this, together with tho stores, coal, etc., and tho weight of tho Bhip, aggrogated about 14,000 tons, and it will readily bo ecen tluit tho dry docking of such a vessel was an operation of considerable difficulty. Tho Gibraltar dry docks belong to tho British. Admiralty, and tho Indraghiri was dry docked and tho water pumped out until the boss of tho propeller was showing. Threo ticra of shores wero used, and tho work of docking and undocking this huge weight was executed with such rilieiency and dispatch that the ship wan cot affected ill the slightest. Tho new blade was fitted to the propeller, after ivhieli the vessel was unaoeked, and resumed her voyage to Shanghai. l'lia Neiv Zealand Shipping Company has leeu advised that the Paparoa left Lonlon on September 17 with immigrants for Juoenslaud ports.
