THE ZEALANDIA'S CARGO.
To the Editor.
Sir, —While perusing your issue of last night, I was not a little surprised at seeing a letter signed “ Observer,” referring to the Zealandia’s cargo. His remark as to the principal part of the goods being put into lighters, in my opinion, was very weak ; and I have no hesitation in saying that it was only intended to mislead the minds of consignees. As to the time he states to Jiave been occupied in the delivery of goods by the railway, it is open to doubt. lam sorry that “Observer” did not inform you of the real —in fact the only—cause of detention to the Zealaudia. nz., the coming to the wharf. On the 17th inst. the ship was brought alongside the Railway Pier'and made fast, but, to the astonishment of many, the ship’s discharging was stopped all the fo'lowing day (Saturday) because, as I was informed, she was not in her proper berth. Why was her proper berth not given to her on the day she came to the pier, and who was to blame for the detention ?—lam, &c.,
' Onlooker. Port Chalmers, 24th Jan., 1873.
