The ilariaroa. iviTsTraTlt of New Zealand timbers by MivW, K. Brown, of. Auckland, 21 years oeo. -Her : career haa been a oheciuerod one, tho vessel havine had 1 moro than her sharo of misfortune. She becamo familiar to Welliiicton while trudiue across th Strait fSr years, under tho iiKeuey of Messrs. Johnston and Co., but lor a considerable time .Dast. «hc has befln laid up. in tho stream.

Mr. Robert Milicr arrived in Wclliiiffton from Dunedin yesterday to seal ncßotiaMons for the purchase of tho Mniuiroft, and to complete urranKcments lor the tow of the linn's recent-ncciuired coal-hulk Ocrtio to Lyttelton, to be roflttcd as a. twin-screw steamer. The Gertio is now be-

"S mado ready for tic tow, which will be undertaken by the* steamer Hiiia- in ten

One set of her 'enjincs was that salved from the small.ship llanijajjana, which was lost on the Koramoa. bar some years aß<>. Hw" I urn of speed will probably be about 91 knots. In connection with the Wntkare, Mr. Miller informed, a DojiiniOn rcuortrr that to raise the vcseel as she now lies on her side would be a very difficult task, and

that it is not their object at first to attempt to do tliie. Divers some months ago examined her hull, and they arc of tho "pinion that the chances are lavourablo for securing a quantity of fittings. Koar. •'id perhaps some of the nwebmcry. ma tlio chances of rolloatimr thp vessel are Ices hopeful. At present it is the mention to start the work in December, wlicn everything is in readiness and Me Aether moro favourable. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. _ , Mr. 0.

Stcvcii3 has succeeded Oaptain D. Hauning, of the Huia. Mr. W. Wood is now engineer in place of -Mr. U. I'inlayson. ~ ~ Owing to ill-health, Mr. P. Mouat, second engineer on the Wanaka, ha-s been relieved by Mr.'(3. M. Bennie. • Mr. E. J. Looney has joined the Kmi as- chiof engineer. Tho Mocraki will leave King's Wharf nt 11 o'clock to-night for the stream, sailing at daylight for Sydney and Hobart. Tho Wootton is advertised to sail to-, uijht for Lyttclton^ The Wo-ipori will arrive to-morrow morning from Lyttelton, sailing in the evening for New Plymouth. Local cargo will be taken; Tho Monowaii is now to leave Auckland at noon to-day direct for Wellington, bne is to sail from Wellington at 2 p.m. on Monday- for Lyttelton end Dunedin. Tho schoonor M'Lauriu is to sail to-day for Ban Francisco. Messrs. Wright, Stolihenson and to. are the outward agents. Early laat night tho auxiliary scho gicr: Huanui dropped anchor in Shelly Hay alter a rough trip of 18 days from Auckland, tiho-has a load of explosives and timber to discharge before returning to Auckland. The American mail-boat Paloona arrived at' Wellington atl. p.m , . yesterday from San Francisco, via ports, a day earlier than was anticipated. About 3 p.m. she berthed at No. 4 Queen's Wharf to start discharging' her 1930 tone : of cargo. Bhobrought no passengers. The passage dewn was* made in 25 days in moderate weather. A sharn , outbreak of influenza affecting 25 of the officers and crew occurred', between the Pacific Coast and Tahiti, the attack lasting about a week. Tho Paloona is to return to America; about Thursday next. Just before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Ngahcre arrived from Whangaroi, via Napier, bringing a part cargo of cement. New Plymouth will be called at to-morrow and' then' Qrcymouth. ! The' Marine- Department; yielding to the pressure of tho Justice DeSartment, has decided, to dispatch the itinemoa from Lyttelton on Wednesday for Waitangi, Chatham Islands, as the passcupcr accommodation, on the Ohathaiu Islands Fiehlng, Company's chartered steamer Runv is not sufficient-to. carry the Maori prisoners and witnesses concerned in -aBcrlous charge, which the Justice Department is anxious to have tried. The quantity of cargo that the Hinemoa will lift at Lyttelton has been waiting shipment for some time. On the vessel's return to tho mainland she will .start on her round trip of tho South Island lighthouses. ; Tlio port of New Plymouth is making good progress, war-effects considered. During the period March, 1517, to January, 1918, the "Taranaki. Herald" states that six steamers, averaging, about 7000 tons each, visited the port and loaded - over 80,000 freight carcasses' of frozen meat, 29,000 boxcß of butter, and a Quantity of wool/ tallow, hides, and cased meats. But for the shortage of: shipping, the tally would have been much larger, for a great quantity of produce was, and is still, awaiting: shipment. No trouble was experienced in tho ease of those six steamers either in berthing: them' or while they, were lying'at the wharf, although on one or two occasions- the weather conditions wore sucli as to test the capabilities of the port.
