Tho collier Canopus, which Is held up at Lyttelton, was still short of firemen on Friday. If is uudei-stod (says tho "Sun") that the men aro not satisfied with tho oxisting method of bunkering tho vessel. Their contention is that the bunkers Bhould be replenished if necessary at each port, instead of making tho supply taken in at Westport suffice for a round trip, say, to Lyttelton, Tnuaru, and back to. the West Coast. They mam-, tain that when the supply begins to dwindlo a lot of extra labour is involved in gettinp the coal from tho farther end of the bunkers forward to tin- (nt-s. Tho argument pf the owners, it is stated, is thai the method now employed has been 1 in operation for nuito a number of years without any objection hitherto having, been raised. Moreover, thoy assert that 1 the firemen's request, if carried into affect,

would often entail a needless oarrying of coal, as the bunkers would never bo empty. . THE WILTSHIRE. ,At 9.5 a.m. on Saturday the F. and S. transport Wiltshire berthed p,t the King's Wharf. The Wiltshire, which left Suez on December 2/, and called at Colombo and Melbourne, had a'good trip, with lino weather. Her movouienta from Wellington have not been decided, but the vessel will, in any case, remain in port for a day or two. ■-■> •' , • With ample deck apace, the Wiltshire has the appearance of being a most suitable ship for trooping, which she has bran doing .continuously -since the outbreak of war. The;work has kept her running between Australia, England, Gallipoli. and Egypt. In Suvla Bay, at tho timo of the memorable landing; she was under fire from the Turkish land bah teries, and has scars to show for that. On a very lively day she was hiflbree times. One shell went into the- dining saloon, and tho two others struck' the higher decks. There were in all casos no- casualties. Beyond this, the Wiltr shins did not come in for any ectoitine experiences, and had no encounters with ; submarines or mineß.' i TAHITI.
