She\ is duo back on Tuesday, and will leavo tho sa.mo day for southern ports. Two Canterbury Company's bonis aro due to-day from Lyttclton. Tho Calm loads to-day, and leaves for Wanganui and Greymouth, and tho Breezo loads for southern ports. After making another trip to liyttclton tho Ilimitangi, which is due to-day. from that port, will load at Wellington, probably on Monday, for tho Chatham -Islands. Yesterday tho Kaituna was to have come out of dock at Lyttelton, -where she has been having two new propeller blades fitted. Theso were lost at Napier during her recent visit, when the weather was so bad that tho vessel had to leavo tho breakwater and put to sea. The Kaitnna proceeds to Westport from Lyttclton to load coal' for Port Chalmers. Tho Opawa, which has been undergoing overhaul and engine-froom repairs at Blenheim, is duo to-day from Blenheim to go on tho Patent Slip. After finishing 'overhaul she will iccommenco running in her old time-table. Captain Geo. Lambert has come a-shoro from the Komata, and Captain Jas. MXean has taken command of the vessel. Mr. D. .11.

The Komata,will load at Woslport for Wellington, the Kahika for Napier and Gisborno, and tho Kini for Bluff.
