Stkam Fbrry-Boat von tub West Coast Rivjbbs.— The Barwon, nu her last urrival here from Melbourne, had on board a boat somewhat larger than an ordinary waterman's boat, fitted up with a B,ma|l BteHiu-engine, and a, screw-pro-pelter. - The boat is intended, we believe for a -ferry-boat on the Hokitika, and is about being sent down there in one of our coasting steamers. .She is calculated to carry about twelve pabsengerj, and if the power she possesses is sufficient to stem the ourrent in the Hokitika, she may be a useful boat. The space occupied by the machinery appears however to be very small. — Nelson Examiner.
