Captain Peterson, who has been on sick leave, resumed, command oE the Karamu at Lyttelton on Monday. The position in regard to the sailing date of the now dredge Kaione, now practically completed at Paisley, Scotland, for the Wanganui Harbor Board, was discussed at last Friday night's meeting of the Wanganui Harbor Board. Advice had been received that Mr. C. J. Swannj dredgemaster, . had arranged with Lloyd's to supervise the Kaione's trials on the Clyde, and that he expected to be able to leave soon. Advice was also received from the Admiralty stating that there seemed to be no reason why the dredge should not proceed, but that they could not guarantee her safety., It was pointed out at the meeting that submarining had practically ceased, but for how long no one knew. The board could not compel the contractors to send the dredge out, and, if they did, the contractors would endeavour to put the responsibility on the board. It was decided that the risk could not be taken yet, as it would cost the board another £IO,OOO if the dredge were lost. On November 11, 1013, the Wanganui Harbor Board started negotiations in connection with getting the dredge, which will be the largest and most up-to-date in the Dominion, and which will also, it is claimed, be cheaper in its working than any other dredge at present; jn commission, even at Home.
