The s s. St. Xilda, Captain Flowerday, arrived fr->m Wanganni at 4 p.m ye_.ter.l_k-. She left TVang-nnl at 3 n.m. on Monday, aid had fine weather down the coast to arrival iv harbor as above. The St. Kilda sails for Wanganui again to-day. The s.s Hawea, Captain Kennedy, left Auckland at 5 p.m. on Thursday; made Tanranga at 5 a.m. next day, sailed at 9 _.__.; reached Poverty Bay at 4 ».m. on Saturday, left there at 8 a.m.; experienced a strong southerly gale; arrived at Napier at S p.m., saited at 9 p.m., and arrived in Wellington at 5 p.m. on Suoday; left Wellington at 4.15 p.m. en Monday, and arrived in harbor at S3O a.m. yesterday, The Hawea sailedfor Port Chalmers at 4 p.m. The s.s. Arawata, Captain Thomas Underwood, saile i from Nelson at noon on the 16th, cleared the Frencb Pass at 2.45 p.m., and arrived at Wellington at 7.50 pm. same night; sailed again at 3.35 p.m. on the ISth, aad arrived at 6.40 a.m yesterday. She was berthed at the Steamers' Wharf, where she landed passengers and cargo, and, having embarked passengers and cargo for Southern ports and Melbourne, Bailed, with the outward Suez mail, at 6 p.m.

"__.e " Nelson Colonist" has a paragraph stating that on the Arawata entering the -Xeltsou narbor on November ioth, in charge o f the. pilot, she was by some extraordinary means backed np as near on the Beach road as possible, at a point opposite the gate leading to Mr Everett's house. The vessel, it state . lay on her beam ends quite a quarter of an hour, md some damage was done to tho contents of the saloon. Captain Underwood wishes to deny moist emphatic illy that-nth of this statement The Arawata on entering Nelson harbor was in charge of Captain Cross, who is well known as a most skilful pilot br all who frequent the Port of _Jelsoa. On ro trading- the boulder bank the Arawata's forefoot just touched tha boulder bank, and as theTide swept ptst the vessel she canted over slightly. This happened at 11 a.m., and at 11.15 a.m. she was along_.de tha Kelson wharf, withont Having sustained any damage. The writer cf the paragraph, therefore, was altogether astray in his information, as the stern of the vessel waa in seme te 1 fathoms of water, so she coald not have b en backed up at all. as it was her stem that was touching the bank. The fifteen minutes that she lay ou her beam ends is also a gross exaggeration, to say the least of it, aa it was only flteAn niiuntes from the time she toiohed the bank to when she arrived alongside ihe wharf, a considerable distance. Such a statement as tne above is calculated to convey very erroneous ideas, and might be the means of injuring those to whom it refers unless it was refuted and explained.
