MAOEI DELAYED ON HE$ SOUTHERN TRIP. By To'legraph.—t'resti Association. Christchurch, May 13. The steamer Maori, which usually readies liyttoltou at 6.30 a.m., did not arrivo until 10.15 this morning. Tlio local manager of the company stated that tlio delay was duo to trouble in the stokehold. The vessel was half an hour late in leaving Wellington last night. The full complement of fireman was obtained, but several of the men were so incapacitated through drink that they were unable to attend to their work. Two of ihe ship's boilers could not be used, mid the vessel consequently came down under greatly reduced speed. The other firemen did their best to relieve the situation, but it was found impossible'to use all tlio hollers. The coal was entirely satisfactory.

Further particulars have been received of the wreck of the schooner Awanui at Niue Island by Mr. W. P. Xfitiiiß. owner of the vessel. Tho Awanui left Auckland on December 18, carrying about 40 tons of cargo for Niuo Island. The wreck occurred on Saturday, January ,11, last. All handa were saved otter a ngrrow escape from drowning. * The vessel was at Aloft <m January 7, and was discharging until tlio 10th, moderate east from south-east, winds, prevailing at tho timr. Next morning alio was expected to depftrt for. Abatele and complet-o loading for Auckland. During the night a strong wind from the west commenced to blow, which by the morning had increased to a hurricane. Heavy seas, were breaking over the reef, and Hie vessel's position wae precarious. About 7.30 a.m. tbo last cable parted, aud tlio crew abandoned the vessel. Soon after a huge wavo lifted her bodily over tho reef. Finally the Awanui wan waehed up against' the cliff, and rapidly b?gan to break up. fortunately some of the merchandise for the island hnd been landed, and only a portion of the shipment of copra hail Ijeeu loaded. The cargo for Tuapa bad previously been landed at A,tofi owing to the unfavourable weather odnditionß. but the Abatele consignment was lost. The chief portion of the copra was to have been lifted at Abatele, while a small amount loaded at Aloft was salvaged. Tho crevf are at present at Apia, and will not arrive In Auckland until tho return of tho Talune, which leaves on her regular island run on Friday. THE LAUREL 'WHALEJf. The flve-inasted Canadian twiu-Ecrow motor sch'joner.Lauiel Whalcn, which put into Auckland ou January 3 owing to her crank shafts breaking while en route from Sydney to Vancouver, is still in port,,and it is expected that it will be another month before Bho is able to resume her voyage. It is thirteen months since blio left Vancouver, and of that time four months have boon spent in Auckland Harbour. She left Vancouver in April, 1915, with 1,153,000 ft. of timber for Adelaide. Owing to engine troubles she put into Sydney on July 10 for repairs. From Adelaide eiio returned to Sydney to load wheat, tallow, etc., for Vancouver. She left Sydney on November 2, and readied the latituclc v Cf Suva, when both her crank shafts save way. It was then decided to maico for Auckland for repairs. Some time wae lost after she reached Auckland, waiting for orders from her owners and in calling for tenders for repairs. Tho first Instalment of tho repaired machinery arrived from Port Chalmers by the Monowai, and tho balance isvto follow shortly.Owin? : to lier long nbf-etico from Vancouvor, her articles have expired, and it is a debatable point whether she will have to fihip another rrew. On the other hand it ■is contended 'that as she put into port in distress the articles are automatically extended. . HEAVY VANCOUVER BOOKINGS. Not only have there been heavy passeiv. per bookings by direct Homo vessele, but the Tush of those who desire to visit' America or proceed to the United Kingdom via Vancouver and San Francisco has resulted of late in> berths being qt a premium. For tho Jtakura., which sailed last night for America, all berths available were takim. and if more accommodation were available there would bo plenty of passengers to fill it. Some of tho wartime x ratcs and restrictions on , the American trans-continental railways havo now been removed, bo that, although Btoamer fares havii not. beeir reduced since the armistice, the gross cost of a Home nassago by the American route has been cheapened.
