When the Union Company’s intercolonial steamer Waikouaiti leaves Sydney for New Zealand, she will, in all probability, have o.n board one ot the boilers from H.M.S. Geranium for the Davis Gelatine works, Christchurch. File boiler weighs approximately 47 tons. It is so large that it would be impossible to take it through the Lyttelton tunnel, or even transport it from Timaru to its destination. It is understood that negotiations are in hand to have the boiler transported from Lyttelton to the Heatlicote by the sor>«- Nr;'ha" This will mean that the Ngahau will have to cross the bar and proceed up the Heatlicote River. The last craft of any size to cross the Sumner Bar war- the Annie Hill, which was later used as a Soa- Scout craft.
