Per Kate Conley, for Guam : 105 tons coal, Glenn Bros.
There was too much sea running on the bar to allow of the vessels in port to leave on Saturday. Yesterday early on the tide the p.s. Dispatch ran out and found that there was a good channel and plenty of water. The Waipara then left for Hokitika, and later the s.s. Kennedy for Westport and Nelson. The p. 8. Dispatch will tow out the barque Kate Conley, coal laden, the first opportunity. She entered out for Guam, but it is understood she will call first at Lyttelton. The p.s. Charles Edward is expected here to-day, and is announced to leave to-morrow afternoon for Westport and Nelson. The lifeboat belonging to Fort Niagara (Canada) got adrift during May 4 A boat manned by six sailors and Lieutenants L. Gt. Ashbury and J. C, Morris* went in nursoit, but thai? boat capsized, and all were drowned. We learn from the Superintendent's speech on opening the Provincial Council, that the Picton wharf is in a very dangerous state, the largest piles having been completely eaten through, many of them hanging by the capiles. It has been suggested that instead of repairing the wharf, it would be better to substitute ftr it the hulk of the Hera, now lying in Port Understood.
