While coins down tho harbour the vessel was drawing about 17ft. forward and 27ft. 6iri. aft., or 6in. more than tho Hawke's Bay recently drew when loaving with the troops. This draught, therefore, constitutes a record for the Otago Harbour, and jrill be gratifying intelligence for shipowners mid the members at the board alike. We understand that the vessel also.had plenty of water Under b»r keel while lying at the wharf, and no portion was resting on the mud.. This pleasing result is directly due to the fact that tho Harbour Board dredge has been working in the lower channel, and also close in to tho wharveS, for 6ome time, and the board can therefore congratulate Itself on tho excellent results achieved. Included in tile Pakeha's cargo was a large consignment of goods from tho Patriotic Association, consisting of articles for the poor ol Great Britain and Belgium.— "Otago ■ Daily Times." .
