LONDON TO WESTPORT. A Westport. Times reporter discussed with Mr. T. Baillic a suggestion recently made as to the possibility of inaugurating a London-Westport line of sailing vessels. Years ago Mr. Baillie ran the schooner Frances Gertrude, regularly between Melbourne and Westport. Mr. Bailie said there are two difficulties at present in the way of opening up direct trade with the Old Country. Importers prefe r to get their supplies quickly and fresh by the direct steamers, monthly; and, further, goodo are consigned from different ports—Liverpool, Glasgow. Lon. don. and others. Under present circumstances, Mr. Baillie is afraid it would be difficult to secure full loading for Westport alone, but iu view of the prohabi'ities of round-trip cargoes, as mentioned in the Times, the idea, he thinks, of placing a vessel on the berth hi Loudon for Westport should not be lost sight of. There are heavy lines that it would pay to import direct, if, as Mr. Baillie say.s, local business men would place orders for sailer conveyance. Certainly the prestige of the port would be enhance!. A considerable cargo could be brought in on a 19-feet draught.

The Purua, which was reported hv cable from Suva to have been wrecked on the Naselal Reef, was a wooden steamer of 10G tons. STEAMERS TO ARRIVE. OVERSEA SHIPPING.
