Tho Gisborno Harbour Board have notified the Marine Department that- on or about February 8 the red dashing light buoy marking Tc Moana Rock, in the Gisborne roadstead, will be removed for repairs, and will be replaced by a black ifiliightea buoy. Tho black can buoy marking flikutu Rock, Tokomaru Bay, which lately broke adrift, ha 6 now been replaced black cone buoy. KARU WITH TIMBER. Messrs. Reese Bros.' Karu left Greymouth yesterday inorniug for Wellington, where she is dno to-morrow morniug. The vessel has a full load of timber, of which I 5!),O0Oft. is for Hiraniar, and the balance ! for Wellington. On Saturday night she j vill .mil for Nydia Bay to load timber for i Lyttelton, and at that port will load pro. | duce for Wellington. 'LILLA TO REPLACE OPOURI; ' The Union Company's iron huik Lilla, willed has been used at Wellington for some time v-ist an a coal hulk, will be . t&vced to Lyttelton in the course of a fort- I night. Tho alterations to the vessel will i take about another ten days. Tho Lilla | has been bought by Messrs. Reuse Bros>, i of Ohristchurch, who intend to fit h.;r with I the engine, boilers, winches, and a,U the I other iron gear salvaged from the wreck- I ed steamer Opouri. The Lilla is a much larger vessel than the Opouri, there being a difference of about SOii. in length and Bft. in beam. .The engines'will be placed aft, giving a clear hold forward, with a capacity of 400,000 ft. of timber. It is csti- ! mated: that the vessel's daught, when completed, will be 17ft. fore and aft. Her complement will probably comp-isu a master, two officers, three engineers, and nine scamcn.-Christchurch "Press." MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Captain M'Douald, marine superintendent for tho Union Steam Ship Company at Dunodin, has arrived at Wellington. He is expected to return about the end of tho week. Mr, A.' Pyper, late chief officer of tho Arahura, has come ashore at Auckland on holiday leave. Mr. G. M. Smart, late of the Te Anau, has joined the Arahura as chief officer. Captain B. B. Irwin, of the Pateena, has conio ashore at Wellington to receive medical attention, having sustained an injury to one of his feet. Captain J.' G. Watßon, of the Kamo, has taken temporary command of tho Pateena, and Captain W. J. S. Eyre has taken command of the Kamo. Sir. John Lenard has joined the Kamo as chief officer in place of Mr. Earle. who goes on holiday leave. Captain Plowman has joined the Ko- I whal-as extra officer for the trip to Grey. t mouth. Captain flender. of the Union Company's service, who has been on holiday leave, has arrived at Wellington from the south to await orders. , Mr. G. P. Findlayson, second engineer on tho Pntlki, has come ashore, and Mr, ' J. Southward has signed on in a similar ! capacity. <

The Regulus is due here on Saturday from New r'lymouth, aud will sail in the utternoou tor jNelßon and West Coast ports. As about forty pupils of the girls' school at Ricnuiond will no travelling by the Nikau to-night no other passengers will uc booked. Tho Koinata is to leave Westport this afturnoou witu coal for Wellington. The iron hulk Darttord, which is being converted iuto a sailiug trader again, was docked on Monday morning at Port Chalmers. A good deal of alteration is already apparent on deck, chielly at the forecastle head aud at the poop. The "tops" have been refuted to the fore and the main mast, and white in dock the electrio crane will probably be utilised to send some of her spars alolt. Tho Anchor Company's Wainica is undergoing inspection at Nelson and will go on the Wellington slip on Friday week for overhaul. The Wootton is due at Wellington on Sunday afternoon from Lyttelton, and on Monday will sail taking cargo for Tarakolie, where she will load sheep for Lyttelton. Thero seems to be an increasing difficulty in scouring seamen for sailing craft, says the Ohristchurch "Press." The schooner Lily, having discharged a cargo of timber, which she curried to Lyttelton three weeks ago last Saturday from Kaiparn, has been laid up indefinitely, being short of throe seamen and a cook, ft is understood that seamen demand a much higher rate of pay to engage in sailers than in coastal steamers. The Marine Department has received Word that the Hinemoa expects to arrive at Hokianga to-morrow. The vessel worked Cape Maria lighthouse yesterday. The Kahu will probably go on the slip on Monday for cleaning and painting.
