Saturday for Westport. was held up through shortage of complcmeri, oho is expected to sail this morning. The Kowhai left Greymouth yesterday morning for Wellington. The Kaino left Greymouth on Saturday for Napier, Lyttelton, and Wellington, ■ Tho Poherua is to sail to-morrow for Lyttelton, taking cargo. From Lyttelton she will go to Auckland.

The coal hull; Sclwyn Craig, which sank off Chelsea wharf (Auckland) on October 5 in nine and a half fathoms of water, has not yet been removed. Referring to the matter in a- report to the Auckland Harbour Board on Tuesday, the harbourmaster stated that the, masts and derricks had been taken out oE tho hulk, and a- green buoy had been moored over the vessel, but no further attempt had been made to raise he)'. The hulk was not a danser to navigation, as there was 42 feet of water over the hull at lowwater sprinc tides, but the harbourmaster considered an attempt should be made to remove the vessel. It was decided to renuest the Union Steam Ship Company to take slops to have the hulk lifted. The Kit-mo, bound from Greymouth to Napier, passed the Heads at 8.25 o'clock last night. A Press Association message from Ohristchurch states that the Maori's passage on Saturday occupied 181 hours. Most of the time was lost in crossing Cook Strait, where heavy southerly weather was encountered. Inferior coal also had a good deal to do with the protracted trip. I
