SYDNEY BOAT. | Much, earlier than was expected the I Manuka,' this -week's Sydney boat, arrived, in port' at 9.15 a.m. yesterday, and berthed at No. 6 Qnoen's Wharf. Tie vessel left .Sydney at 12.55 p.m. on Thursday, and experienced strong south-easterly -winds and rough seas, the first three days being worse than the la-st, when the vessel got near the Now Zealand coast, Stephen Island was passed at 4.59 a.m. yesterday. The following are principal lines included in the Manuka's cargo :-2MO cases sugar, 257 bags salt, 48 barrels lubricating oil, 592 bags borax, 1557 cases fruit, and also a. largo amount of silk goods and Eastern merchandise.

The Manuka is, according to present arrangements, to leave lor Lyttelton at 6 o'clock to-night. TEE FERRY SERYIOE. From Dunedin direct, niter nearly three weeks in dock, tho Maori is duo from Dunedin direct to-morrow morning, and \tho Mararoa is duo from Lyttelton. Tho Maori will sail for Lyttelton at the >nsual time, resuming hcr< running in tho ferry scrvico to-morrow, and tho Mararoa w\ll wait until Thursday night, when sho will go to Lyttelton in place of the Patcona.

Tho Union Company's collier Kitlawft arrived in Wellington yesterdy morning for repairs. Tho vessel left Grcymouth for Lyttelton. shortly after 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, and after leaving tho river met with -very hcary seas and strong winds, and at that timo the steering gear was roported in good working order. Later, however, some trouble was experienced, .and between JaxiUson's Head and The Brothers lighthouse- the steam steering gear was carried away. In about a quarter of an hour the hand gear was Also carried away by the jars nf the heavy seas, and steering was then carried out by means of connecting tho gear with winches. Tho vessel anchored in Queen Charlotte Sound, while the steering pear was properly fixed up to go out to sea. Sho then left the Hound in continuation of her trip, and yesterday the damaged gear was disconnected and taken away for mending. It is hoped to cet her away for Lyttelton to-night.

NAP.AVHAL FROM SAN FRANCISCO. According to latest American mail adTiccs, a barque named the Narwhal, a vessel ,of 389 tons, has been chartered to load general cargo at San Francisco for New Zealand ports. A HUGE WHEAT SHIP. An interesting problem in arithmetic is suggested by the departure from Port Arthur, Ontario, of the freight carrier, W. Grant Morden, for Port li/Nicoll, Ontario, -with the largest wheat cargo the world has seen. The ship carried 495,720 bushels, of wheat, a quantity which, if ground into flour, would produce 109,050 barrels ; of 32,060,700 loaves. The quantity of brea'd would suffice to feed the entire population of Canada for four and a half days. The arrival in a British port of ono such ship would exercise a marked effect on tho British wheat markets, and it is a- simple problom in arithmetic to estimate the number of su«n units necessary in a.fleet of,wheat ships carrying flour sufficient to maintain the populaco of these islands or the armies in Europe for a stipulated period. . Mr. Gilbert and Mr.- W. Jones, second mates of the - Kittawa and Kamo ; respectively, have exchanged positions. Mr. J. Alatthowsou, lato traffic manager for the Union Steam Ship Company at Sydney, arrived in Wellington by the Manuka from Sydney yesterday, and is going on to Dunedin for orders. To fill the vacancy at Sydney Mr. R. 0. Stewart, late'.-accountant of the Lannceston office, has' been promoted to the position of traffic manager. * The Alexander will now sail for Nelson rind West Coast at 5 p.m; to-day. ■ It was previously arranged that the vessfcl would not call at Nelson, but would go direct to the West' Coast.
