NOTES, - AN UNUSUAL JOB. A* big lightering job is to be performed in the stream at Wellington by the W. R. Grace and Co.,'s steamer Cacique, due at that port about next Friday from New York via Panama. As the vessel has 800. tons of explosives for Sydney, and the Harbor Board regulations preclude it from berthing at Wellington while the explosives are on board, the Cacique will lighter her 3000 tons of general cargo in the stream- A small fleet of coastal vessels will act as lighters.
