THE FERRY SEiiVICE. Tile Union Company advise that the overhaul of the Mararoa will probably not bo finished until Friday, September 22.

On completion of her. overhaul the Maori will take the Al.iraroa's place, and the l'ateena will go back on the Weilington-Pietoii-Nclson run. The Takapuna will then be withdrawn, and will probably anchor in the stream again. THE DREDG E lUIONE. The position in regard to the sailing dato of the new dredge Kaiouc, now practically completed at Paisley, Scotland, for the Wanganui Harbour Board, was dlscussod at last Friday night's meeting of the Wanganui Harbour Board. Advice had been received that Mr. C. J. Swann, dredgemastcr,'had arranged with Lloyd's to supervise the Kaioue's trials on the Clyde, and that he expected to bo able to leave soon. Advice was also received from the Admiralty stating that there seemed to bo no reason why the dredge should not proceed, but that they could not guarantee her safety. II was pointed out at tho meeting that' submarining had practically ceased, but for how long no one knew. Tho board could not compel the contractors to send the dredge out, and, if they did, tho contractors would endeavour to put the responsibility on the board. It was decided that the rick could not bo taken yet, as it, would cost the board auothor £10,000 if the dredge -were lost. ■ On November 11, 1913, the Wanganui Harbour Board started negotiations in connection with getting the dredge, which will be tho largest and most up to date in the Dominion, and which will also, it is claimed,, be cheaper in its working than any other dredge at present In commission, even at - Home.

The chieo, which was formerly known as tno German-Australian liner Colmar, left Sydney on June 10, 1914, for Hull, and called at Natal on July 9, and from there allwent well, until she received, a message from another German steamer, advising her that England and Germany were ax war, so she made for, Madeira, aud arrived there on August 5, 1914. The Kini is at present oarbound outside Greymouth, and when she manages to get in is to loa<l for Wellington.
