Built by Sir Ray Dixon and Co., Ltd., at 'Middlosborough, the Leitrim is of the following dimensions:— Length 491 ft., breadth 60ft„ and depth 39ft. 4iu. . It is expected that the. Leitrim will leave Australia on August 15 for NewZealand. Her first port of call here is not yet decided on, but it is certain that a call will be made at Wellington. Captain G. Bush is in command of the ship. After 'an uneventful and for the , most part calm voyage, the K'aiapoi arrived in port from Newcastle yesterday. morning with a .full load of coal for the railways. Tlie' vessel is discharging at the Railway Wharf. . Her' future movements are not yet decided upon.
