A barque was signalled at dusk yesterday, making towards the port from the southward. The Union Steamship Company's s.s. Penguin arrived on Saturday morning from Northern porta, and left* as usual, after the arrival of the express train at night for Wellington. „ _ ... Tho barque A. C. De Freitas, one of the New Zealand Shipping Company's specially chartered vessels to load with grain this season, arrived on Saturday afternoon from Auckland. As the Palala has finished, the Do Frietas will bo taken in hand at once, loaded and sent away within a few days. , .... The handsome new ship Wigtonahire is daily ezpooted to arrive from Wellington, to load for Messrs P. Cunningham and _ Co. and Messrs Royso, Stead and Co. Captain H. L. Mowatt, wbo was here a year ago chief officer of the Edwin Fox, is in command of the Wigtonshire. The vessel is to be despatched fer London direct, and is advertised to take a few first and seconddoss passengers, for whose comfort and pleasnro every provision has been made by her owners. The Syren and the Glamis left Newcastle for thin port on February 22nd, and the Island City February 21st. The Freetrader hence arrived there February 2-at. Tho Min-y-don, with 1390 tons of coal, consigned to Mr O. W. Turner, left Newcastle last Friday for here. The Glamis is to load hero for the United Kingdon, on behalf of the New Zealand Shipping Company, and the Min-y-don will load for Messrs Royao, Stead and Co. and P, Cunningham and Co. The Palala was berthed at the Gladstone Pier last Monday, to discharge her ballast and load with grain. Of the former she had 400 tops, and her loading is represented by something over 1500 tons dead weight. The following shows that the work was aooomplished_ by the stevedores in the brief space of thirty-five working hours. That is, that from the commencement to the completion, over 51 tons of ballast per hour was discharged from her into lighters, or a quantity of grain equal to that named was put into her and stowed. The work was done in the ordinary hours of labor, and the ship was thus put to no overtime oxpences. The time book of her working shows her to have started last Tuesday with five hours’ work, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday eight hours each day, and last Saturday six hours’ work, put her down to her marks. When tho handling which a cargo of wheat in five bushel sacks undergoes in taking it from tho railway trucks to the ship’s hold and in the process of stowing is considered, the expedition implied by the above figures seems to warrant the statement which has occasionally been made hj visitors to Lyttelton, in its literal sense, that its shipping facilities are eqnol to those of any port in the world.
