Tho ferry steamer Jlararoa, winch was to have gone into dock at Lytteltou on Monday for painting, will not be docked until October 1. The Grcyniouth Evening Star says that the directors; of the company -which owned, the Jane met on September 1 and resolved to invite tenders for a suitable vessel to take up the running. The vessel had a run of only about four years, during which time she was always well managed. . , „ In o. letter received from New lork, a ■well-known firm reports that n. limited amount of chartering is being done in tho steamer market, The rates paid are about equivalent to the basis recently prevailing. The increasing development of South American trade is calling for moro tonnage, and, similarly, there was a steady demand for trans-Atlantio carriers. Bates remain firm in most trades, and the supply of boats available for early delivery is decidedly light. In sailing Testis there is a steady demand for both offshore and coastwiso carriers. There is a. limited amount of sailing tonnago available, and rates remain the same. Tho Hokitika correspondent of the Greymonth "Evening Star" states that the sea has made further inroads into the bank along Eevcll Street north, Hokitika,. There was a big sea running all last week, being spring tides, tho waves coming over tho street at times. . . ... , .

lativcß and friends began to feel anxious. Their fears were relieved, however, by the arrival of two nomine pigeons carrying messages to tho effect that tho boat was safe. Another slip contained a list of provisions required. The skipper of tho ketch (Oaptain Banning) reported that all was well. • The Oonah, which recently started runnine from Melbourne to Burnie, Tasmania, had a crew of captains. Every ono of the nine men who wore acting as seamen had at one timo or another done duty as captain in charge of vessels, while there were fhrec other captains aboard.
