' An attempt is being node at Greymoutli to float a new company for'tbe purchase of a firstclass tugboat, to replace the p.s. lioness recently wrecked there, it having transpired that the Grey Biver Steam Tug Comp -ny do not intend to replace the boat. Unless « omet : in? of the kind is done, the work of the port is likely to be dependent on the steamer Waipara, who-e services are now divided between .the two ports of Hokitika and Greymouth. The Tug Company, at a recent meeting, passed a resolntion -.—That this meeting authorise the directors to sell the tug Dispatch and all other property of the c mpany to the b-at advantage, either for cash or for paid-up shares in any new company it may be decided to form. The president of the Marine Board at AdelaiSs notifies that large iron cheese-shaped buoys, having pyramidal open framework surmounted by balls, have replaced those which formerly marked the usual passage between the Vernen Islands. The black one, off the north-west end of the Heary Ellis Beef, is moored in 17 fathoms of water j the red one marks the eni of the spit running to the westward, off the gouth-west end of East Vernon Island. . The buoys are about two miles and a quarter apart, - A mid-channel course is recommended when passing through either to the eastward or the westward, Ant also that a ch'ese-'shaped buoy, surmounted by staff and ball, has been moored on the Eclipse Sock, off Fort Victoria jetty, in lieu of the iron beacon which formerly marked the rock.
