According to advices which have been received, the Union Company's wellknown steamer Mahinapua is about to be dismantled and converted into a coal Tmik. The Mahinapua was fur many years a familiar trader on 'he New Zealand coast, and she maintained I for some time a service between Wellington, New Plymouth and Onehunga. Subsequently she transferred to the Tasmanian trade, ana .ran between llobart and Strachan. The Mahinapua is a steel twin-screw steamer of 380 tons irross and 239 net, built in 1881 by Denny and Brothers, of Dumbarton, for the Union Company. Her principal di-mr-niiions are— 100 ft by 2(i.Sft by 12.0 ft. VESSEL ON A SANDBANK. Captain R. Rodger, of the coastal steamer Gertie, has reported to Mr. C. S. Nixon, Collector of Customs at Wellington that while on her last voyage from Greymouth ~Eo Foxton. and aft-?r crossing the Manawatu bar, the Gertio stuck orf a sandbank in the river, and remained fast. The Kennedy gave assistance in towing her off. on the starboard quarter, while the Gertie's own engines went astern. All.efforts to get the vessel off the bank were unavailing, the tide leaving the slifp. Captain Rodger then had an anchor arid a long Jensfth of wire run out, and hove the ship off at 9 p.m., after which he proceeded up the river to Foxton. While going astern <it a sandbank the rudder j shank was slightly twisted. A thorI ough examination was made, and no flaw was discovered.
