Under the heading “A Beautiful Marine Monster’ the Wellington correspondent of the Dunedin Evening News” telegraphs as followsA curiosity In the way of naval architecture, and a commentary upon economic management is now in harbour. It is the steam hopper Sumner, one of the three vessels to be employed to dredge Lyttelton harbour. The grass on her bottom looks as if she had come overland. She left Glasgow on the 7th of August last, and in the course of her travels called at the following places:—Gibraltar, Malta, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Point de Galle, Singapore, Somerset (Torres Straits). Cooktown, and Brisbane. It appears that the cost of bringing out this steam hopper will be considerably more than she is worth. The wages alone are said to be about £2OOO, and various other expenses for coal and other things will tot up a pretty figure. She got "within a hundred miles of Lyttelton, but a heavy gale coming up made her cut back and put into Wellington, where a burster is now threatening, the glass falling rapidly. All her crew, it is reported, will have to have their passages paid hack home. The use of the boat is to take the dredgings from the other boats and convey it to sea, she having an opening bottom upon hinges.
