The Toa is using one engine, so the trip will not take as long as it would were she a dead weight. It is not known how long the voyage to Auckland will take, as squally weather and head Avinds are possible and this may delay the A'essels a j little. ' Tiie Otimai Avhen she went up to the Paper Mills on Monday morning landed 66 tons of China clay, which is used as filling in certain types of board. She also brought about 8000 feet of hardwood for Whakatane and she took away empties of various kinds, including about 400 drums.
