DEPARTURES.

November q Omapere, s.s., for Gisborne, Tauranga, and Auckland. 7—Boojum, s.s., for Wairoa, with four passengers.

The Union Steamship Company's s.sOmapere took her departure for Gisborne* Tauranga, and Auckland, at about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and is telegraphed as having arrived at the former place at 5 o'clock this morning. The steamer Sir Donald, Capt. J. Quinlan, returned from Waimarama yesterday afternoon, with a load of wool, which she transhipped to the barque langstone before coming inside. She will leave for Blackhead to-night for another load of wool. The launch Boojum, Capt. Maloncy, steamed for Wairoa at 9.30 a.m. this day, taking four passengers and a small cargo. The steamer Kiwi was unable to get away last night, and is now to leave at about 3.30 p.m. this day. The s.s. Fairy is expected to leave for Pourererc to-night. The p.s. Mannia has not yet left for Wairoa, but will leave at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The s.s. Sir Donald got the first lighter load of the Wave Queen's cargo this morning, consisting principally of cement and hoop iron, which will be discharged this afternoon.

The barques Langstone and Norman McLeod have now on board some 1700 and 1400 bales of wool respectively, and rapidly filling up. A short time ago one of the Bey. E. L. Berthen's experimental collapsible boats was dropped into the sea 400 miles from the Scilly Islands, having six persons on board. She beat about in heavy weather and made the shore in six days. She then left Scilly in the teeth of a gale, going up Channel, and reached the Needles in thirty-five hours, travelling sometimes at 10 knots per hour. The feature of such a craft is that she can carry seventy persons, with stores for a fortnight, and that when she is folded up and stowed awny on the ship's sido she measures but two feet in width by about nine feet in length, and can be made ready for sea in one minute, with all necessary gear and her water beakers filled.
