A pipe has been laid under the wharf and the street, and the oil is being pumped through this pipe from the ship into tanks in the yard of the Otago Iron and Steel Company. The total quantity is understood to be about 10.000 gallons, aud the oil is crude oil. to be used principally fnr the engines of the auxiliary schooner Houto. STEAMERS EXPECTED.

There was oulj 4ft at the end of the groyne, and it was shoaling 100 ft beyond the extension. The position was very serinus after all that hat! been done and the fttct that 'they wert spending £1000 a month in dredging.
