NAVY STORES LANDED.
BLUEJACKETS CARRY OUT WORK. Stores for H.M.S. Pyramus_ were on board the Ulimaroa were discharged by bluejackets from H.M.S. Psyche yesterday morning. A cutter, manned by a dozen bluejackets, put off from the Psyche, and pulled acrosß to tho steamer. They climbed on board tho Ulimaroa, Temoved tho hatches, and commenced working cargo. As usual tho strike pickets were busy. Somo half-dozen of them went on to the Ulimaroa, but, after a conversation with tho officer in charge of the sailors, they judged it wise to retire. The Navy stores were then secured, and stowed in the cutter and tho police patrol ship Janie Seddon. They were then taken across and landed on tho Psyche. "Way They Have In the Navy." During operations a signal was hoisted on the man-o'-war. Immediately the officer in chnrce gave an order, and tho sailors tumbled up out of the hold and formed up on deck. Tho order was given to march, and down the gangway came the bluejackets. When they reached the wharf the command rang out, "Double," and off the squad went. It was a pretty sight to seo the men keeping splendid formation, and moving quickly in the of tho Psyche.
