On her way back from Greymouth and Westport the Mapourika was to have left Nelson at 2 o’clock this morning for Wellington, where she should arrive about midday to-day. The Komata got away from Westport at 8 o’clock yesterday morning with a full load of coal for ’Wellington, where she is duo this morning. The vessel is expected to sail on- the return trip on Tuesday. . The dredging operations m New Plymouth harbour have made navigation therein an easy matter compared to what it used to be- said Mr H. R. Mackenzie to an Auckland 'Star" reporter. The depth at low water is now 25ft. which permits steamers of big tonnage to enter right into the PoriThe Union Company s tug Natone was placed on the patent slip yesterday momine behind the hulk William Maneon.

On Tuesday night the steel twin-screw steamer lona arrived at Port Charmers from, Lyttelton via Timaru and OamaruTho Tona (says the Dunedin 'Star ) is a small vessel of the Tarewai type, and Captain McGilvray, her owner, intends to run her as a ferry steamer between Port Chalmers and Dunedin, also going to the heads if circumstances warrant that extension of her running. The lona, which was formerly namdl the Canterbury, was built in London to the order of Messrs Agar and Roberts, ,of Lyttelton, for the pmtposo of towing schooners in and out of Lyttelton harbour. and also to run cargo and passengers to Banka Peninsula ports. She was brought out in parts and put together in Lyttelton. Proving too small for her intended trade, she was super--*.lcd by a larger boat .and in recent rears has 0.-irried passengers across Lyttelton harbour. THU CORUNNA.

Tho Sydney Chamber of Commence has forwarded to the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce a copy of a letter received from Messrs Harrison and Crosfield, fietting out tho conditions on which the owners of the Orsova aro prepared to deliver tho balance of the vessel’s cargo. The Orsova belongs to the HungariauLevant Line, and has taken refuge In Pad any. Messrs Harrison , and Crosfield write: —"Tho following is an extract from a letter dated August Sth, received from Mcr Schiild, agent of the HungnrianLervant Line in Padang. Tfbe Orsova beinc eager to get rid of her cargo .it has now been decided that, in order to* push the delivery of .goods, this steamer \yill grant the Game landing facilities a-s the Kieist and Rhineland used to do in delivering alongside tho steamer. . . Tho conditions on which tho Orsova Will deliver cargo alongside are as .follow: — (1) Sheltering charges. 17 per cent, c.i.e. value for delivery during this month. For every following month 4 per cent, additional. (2) Full sets of bills of lading or bank guarantee by a Dutch East India bank for missing copies.

Ef several parties receive cargo simultaneously, such harbour dues to be divided pro raea botween therm. If a big quantity, say about 3DO tons, is received at the same time, the steamer is ready to pay these harbour dues on her own account.” OASUAIT WmAEF~IABOUR. Commenting upon “The Watersider’s” suggestion of co-operative control, as a means to tho mitigation of the casual labour evil on the wharf, the Hon. J. T. Paul writes in the “Otago Daily Times":—"At various times proposals for altering the conditions of waterside work have received attention. But nothing definite has as yet been attempted. Probably it must wait until the position becomes very serious. Then, of course, some action will be taken. That time may easily come as a result of the war. If the present system of employment is retained, facilities are required for employing the spare hours of the watorsi tier. Ho ought not to be expected to hang around the wharves locking or waiting for a job which does not come. His time is money to himself and the community. But as things , are his off time is waste. With means of communication ho need not go near the wharves until the work was there, and in the meantime he could profitably employ his time in some homecraft."
