She Is expected here to-morrow with about 1000 tons of cargo to discharge. On leaving hole she will proceed to Wellington and Dunedln, undergoing 'her annual survey at tho latter port prior to picking, up her usual coastwise running, ,KITTAWA FURTHER DELAYED. The Union Company advise that the Klttawa has been further delayed by the heavy rain at Nelson, and will not leave for New Plymouth until to-day, being due hero to-morrow. She has about 800 tons of cargo to unload. THE BADEN POWELL. The Baden Powell left Wellington a llttlo after noon yesterday for New Plymouth, and will reach here this morning, and unload in the afternoon. She has a cargo of general merchandise to discharge. THE STRANDED ARAPAWA. The Northern Company's Rlnm left tho New Plymouth wharf shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday morning and dropped a 1% ton anchor In 2% fathoms of water outside the Waitari bar. This was connected by a wire rope with the Arapawa, and will enable the vessel to haul herself off the beach Into the channel If that Is possible. The Rlmu then returned to New Plymouth to await further orders, arriving here shortly after 1 p m. Owing to the poor spring tide, it was not possible to get a line on to the Arapawa on Wednesday and no actual attempt was made to haul her off. It is not probable that any further attempt will be made to refloat the stranded vessel until the next spring tide in about a fortnight's time, apart from what the Arapawa can do by her own power. MOVEMENTS OF WAIWERA. From Newcastle the Walwera Is due at Wellington on August 23. and on completion of discharge of her coal cargo, will load for Home at Nelson, Now Plymouth, Lyttelton, and Wellington, sailing from Wellington finally about September 24. SHIPBUILDING RECORD. It has remained for a Pacific Coast shipyard to establish a new record for steel ship construction In the United States, if not for tho world. ' The Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation launched on May 8 last from its yards on tlie Willamette River, Port-' land, Oregon, the 8800 dead-weight ton steamer City of Eureka, just 27 working days after the laying of her keel on April 4. It was anticipated that the entire outfitting of this vessel would be completed on May 17, which should -make her ready for her trial trip, just thirty-six days from the beginning of construction operations. This is also believed to bo a world's record for vessels of this type.—Shipping World. FAITH SOLD. The famous ferro-concrete steamer Faith, which was the subject of much comment all over the world when she was launched at San Francisco, last year, and was looked upon as the beginning of a new era In shipbuilding, was lately sold to the French American Lino for 450,000 dollars (£90,000). The Faith is a vessel of 3400 tons gross, 320 feet long, 44 feet 5 inches In breadth, and 30 feet la depth. Judging by tho big freights she has had since launching, she must have paid her owners handsomely, despite the fact that she does not carry the same quantity as a steel steamer of similar dimensions. The Great Northern Shipbuilding Company, of Vancouver, have evidently thought that tho Faith has justified what was expected of her, for recently this company have launched five new concrete steamers from their yards, and have named them the Wl, W2, W3, W4, and W5.
