The Northern Company's Rirnu, from Wanganui, called at the breakwater <ki Sunday afternoon. She left again yesterday afternoon for Onehunga, with a ioad of sheep for this port.

The Corinna sailed for Wellington yesterday afternoon, taking 10,045 boxes of butter from this port, for transhipment to the Papanui. In order to prevent any possibility of the wrecked steamer Hawea endangering the entrance to Greymouth Harbour, the Unioa Company is making arrangements to blow the vessel up with explosives. Small charges will be used to break her up, and a start in that direction will probably be made in a lew u.tys It is rumoured (says the Dominion) that an influential local syndicate intends shortly running two steamers regularly from Wellington to I'atea. As the movement id only yet in the initial stages, further particulars are not available.

Most oversea vessels manage to liave amongst their crew a number of firemen •who love terra firma so much that, wiieji their leave of absence is granted, and a promise of an early return to the vessel is made, they seldom put in an appearance, and consequently delay the vessel. The Otago Daily Times says " After getting away from the wharf on Monday evening, the Cornwall had to anchor in the stream for about an hour to await the return of four firemen who weftregaling themselves on shore. The assistance of the police was invoked, and although several expressed a preference for the lock-up as a probable means of evading the necessity to rejoin their vessel, the tact and resourcefulness of the police finally prevailed, and, yielding to tlfeir persuasive arguments, the men realised the force of circumstances, and rejoined' the Cornwall, which got away about dusk, and sailed for Waitara.

Ascording to a West' Coast exchange attempts at refloating the stranded steamer Taviuni have been recommenced, and those engaged in the work hope to have the steamer afloat in six weeks.
