August 4. WANGANUI HARBOUR. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. In reply to a letter from the Wanganui Harbour Board requesting that the captains who petitioned the board to remove the groyne at the mouth of the river should submit for the board's consideration the grounds upon which their objections are based, the Merchant Service Guild has submitted the following:— "The navigable channel has been decreased by 150 feet. In rough weather in the past vessels have had great difficulty in negotiating the entrance owing to the easterly set and ran of the sea carrying them over to starboard. At night under these conditions the entrance appears very narrow with a ship yawing. The object of the groyne is to set up a scour. In this case it is westerly. The groyne is too close to the seaward end of the moles, for the reason that a vessel running in on a sea has not sufficient time or room to square up. If it is ebb tide the most natural forces will be present to turn the ship round, viz., pressure on the starboard bow from water deflected off the growne, and pressure on the port quarter from the easterly set.

"Although it has been stated that several master mariners were consulted before starting the groyne, members of the guild trading to the port say that they, were not consulted, but we have been informed that at least three experienced masters have constantly voiced objections to officers of the board."
