Tho Shaw, Savill and Albion liner Arawa, which sailed from Wellington on August 7th, left Monte Video on 'luoeday afternoon —ono day ahead of time—in continuation of her trip to London. The Shaw.

Tho vessel -vvill suheoqucntly proceed to New Caledonia to load concentrates for Aiitjjwrp. In consequence of tho labour troubles at tho Blackball mines, the company's two colliers, iSgahere and Ngatoro, will wait for orders at Wellington. Among the latest charters id the King Cyrus, a four-maeted schooner of G3O tons, which will load lumber at Columbia Rivor for Now Zealand. THE INDRABARAH. llepair.s to the. Indrabarah uro proceeding rapidly towards completion, and it is expected that the vessel will be ready to oorue out of dock on September 11th. Both propeller shafts luive been removed, and as ono of them is 2in out of alignment, tho "kink" is visible at some distance. A new ehaft and propeller have been fitted on tho starboard side, and tho port side will be similarly fittfd within a day or two. Mechanics are busy cutting out the. rivets in her etern post, to which a couple of new gudgeons will be riveted to carry the cow rudder, which is now being repaired at the Maori Ironworks. During tho course of a. chat Mr Morris, the chief engineer of the Indrabarah, informed a representative of the "Otago L)aily | Times" that his staff had opened out tho wholo of the vessel's engines since her arrival in Port Chalmers, and they were found to be in perfect order, the only otctptiou being her centrifugal pumps, which were badty worn by the eand being drawn up while the. Indrabarah was on the beach. Referring to the vossol's construction, Mr Morris paid a high tribute to the quality of the workmanship embodied in her hull. "Every rivet in her must have been put in with faithful skill,' said Mr Morris, "and the way in which her bottom plates withstood the rolling and bumping while eho was on tho beach proves that she was put' together by clever British -workmen. If only one rivet had given way it would have caused others to go in the same vicinity, and in a very ehort time a whole plata would have worked loose. The fact of the ship being in dock to-day is solely duo to the fine British workmanship pat into her hull by tho "blnck sq\ind.' She is a faithfully-built chip and a credit to her builders—Messrs Swan, Hunter, and Co.. WallEend-on-Tyuc." Referring to the. trip down from "Wellington, Mr Morris became very grave, and with an emphasis that denoted very strong conviction, he said that nothing en earth would ever induce him to repeat the performance under similar conditions. "With one shaft down 2in and the other ono also bent, propellers gone, and the rudder in a similar fix, it is a wonder we ever reached this port ■with the Tndrnbarah. Of course, if her condition had been fully known the v~*se! would never have been allowed to leave Wellington while in «tich a state, but we hod no means of sighting her until she was docked. "When we did so, all hands wero very thankful to see the incLrabarah safo in dock." EXPECTED ARRIVALS. ' Wahino, turbine b.s., from Wellington, this day. John, s.s., from Timaru, this day.
