ARRIVAL OP BUYO MARU. An arrival at Port Chalmers on Friday morning was the Japanese-owned steamer Buyo Mtini, from Makatea Island, via Bluff.. This vessel was built at Sunderland. in 1889, and is ol 2858 tons gross register. She is not of a, very now type, and to judge from her appearance -has recently lain idle for some time. She sailed formerly, under the German flag, being then known as the Hochheimer; and on the outbreak of war she took refuge in ICnlo-ciiau harbour, where she fell into Japanese hands. Her present owners are the Yamashita, Shipping Company, of Kobe, -and she is commanded by Captain I. fiagura, and manned by a Japanese crew. So far as can bo ascertained, she lias not previously visited these waters. After the discharge of some 25C0 tons of phosphates at Port Chalmers she will probably proceed to Sydney.

BERTHA DOLBEEE AT NAPIEIt. The Amorican schooner Bertha Dolbeer, 56 days out from. San Francisco, arrived, at Napier on Friday afternoon., She had a load of petrol and. Oregon timber on hoard. Conflicting, reports were circulat- ; ed from time to time with regard to tho ' destination of this vessel. She sailed from San Francisco on August 10 for New. Zealand. The vessel was originally list<;<i for Wellington, but it 'was later ascertained that she was bound for Napier with 101,000 'feet of redwood, the remainder of her cargo being case oil. The whole of the cargo will bo put out at that port-. It is rumoured that the vessel will later visit Wellington. ■ PROSPECTIVE TRADER. ' The' Oamaru* dredge -Progress arrived at .Port Chalmers,early.on .Friday .morning, and was taken over by her new, owners,' Messrs. Miller Brothers. f She will be converted into a cargo steamer—a task of some magnitude, l but one that in view of the present demand for freight tonnage should bring its own recompense. Her future career lias, so far. not been I definitely decided upon, but she will probably enter, the New Zealand coastal trade, , . 1 The Karu, with a load of timber, is duo from Greymouth to-day. ■ Messrs. Johnston and Co. advise that the Putilii, which sailed for Wanganui on Saturday, will go to the West Coast after leaving Wamganui. and will not be bank in Wellington for some time. Mr. F. L. Paterson, second engineer on the Ngakuta, signed off on Saturday, and his place has been taken by' Mr. J. A. M'Pherson. ■ . Dr. C. H. Grimm, surgeon of the E.M.S. Moana, left that vessel at Son Francisco -.last trip, and his place was taken by Dr.' ■Macauley, la to of the American mail steamer Sonomn. The Vermont, which has been expccUd at Auckland for some time now, from New York, via Panama, arrived at that port on Saturday morning. According to present arrangements, the i Vermont, after putting out her Auckland shipment; will come on to Wellington, where she is due' in about a week's time, and will then go on to.. Dunedin before proceeding to Australia.
