The work of fitting the steamer up is progressing favourably, a large gang of joiners being engaged in the job. The masts have been stepped, and have given her quite a yachtlike appearance. They are pole masts, and have a tremendous rake, fometbing similar to those of the Arawata and Ringarooma. The Wakatu will be ready for sea next month.
