Had there been a light the vessel could have entered the harbor safely. As Motueka. is a fplaco which is sought for shelter by masters of coasting vessels, it is hoped the proper authorities will see, to this-grievance, and have It remedied .as early as possible.. ■ - ■

The schooner Kelson appears to have had (according to an exchange) a trying time of It lately. The owner at Kelson received a telegram stating that she arrived at Napier on the 19th Instant.- having expert-r enced a fearfnl gale the previous,Wednesday, with a tremendously heavy soa, which threw tho vessel on her boom ends. Captain Robinson had to cut away mainmast in order to save the vessel and crow.- The reported to'have Behaved admirably during.,, the gaift - 4 . ' ; . - faring the late gala‘at Lyttelton the Enterprise,.a brigantine hailing from this port (Wellington) had been'lmulcd out from the breastwork, and was anchored well off the wharf, head to sea. A t the time mentioned, viz/, about 5.10 a.m. the brcast’lnes which kept the W. O. Wentworth in her place parted, and . her bow swung towards* the breastwork, carrying the * Omaha with her; The latter vessel's anchor fouled • the'Enterprise, and her moorings carrying away the three vessels were jammed in on to the breastwork. The Enterprise, being Inside the Omaha, suffered the most damage, her stern was partly crushed, and three of her starboard planks sprung. She swung broftdslde on to the wharf, where her bulwarks were very considerably damaged. Captain Mundlo estimates the damage done to his vessel at £2OO. i

THE S.S...GRAFTON. Since Captain Williams* steamer Grafton has been laid up, tenders have been .issued for supplying her with new compound engines and boilers, and Messrs. Robertson and Co., of the Phcenix Foundry, have been the successful tenderers. The steamer is to retain her twin screws, which are to be driven by two compound engines of 104 h.p. nominal combined, the high pressure cylinders being ISin., and the low pressure ones 34in. in diameter, with a 20in. stroke. The boilers are to be composed of the best iron, and are to measure 10ft, in diameter and Oft. in length. As soon as the alterations to the Grafton are carried out she will be one of the most serviceable steamers on our coast, and should prove highly remunerative to her spirited owner. The contract date for the completion of the work is stated to be six months hence.
