The Union Company has received advice that the Karu will not leave Wellington for New Plymouth till neit Wednesday. " NOTES. Since the ship famine set in there have been numerous suggestions made regarding how craft can be secured to cope with the demand for tonnage (remarks a Sydney exchange). Amongst the latest is that several of the hulks now in Sydney and some at other Australian ports, could be rerigged and made seaworthy again. It has to be admitted that there is some reason in the idea, for in their day some of the craft named could hold their own with anything afloat, and if freights remain on the high plane much longer, as appears likely to be the ease, the cost entailed in making them seaworthy again might prove to be money well spent.
