NEW ZEALAND-CANADIAN SERVICE. . According to the "Vancouver Daily 'News," trade between' Vancouver, Australia, and New Zealand has picked up' very- much in the "-. last few months, and the ■ steamers! leaving . Vancouver-are taking as much freight as they ■ can ca"rry. When the Kazembe sailed she ■ ■was loaded to her capacity, and "a quantity of freight had to be refused. The Den of Ruthven, one of the-finest, freighters in .the business to-day, also had.a very large cargo. : ' i The last boat topsail, the Indravelli, took 3,500,000 feet of lumber and 500. tons of general cargo, and she could not 1 accommodate all > that was offered. The Indravelli formerly carried Chinamen from,Hong-Kong to South' Africa. The Den of Ruthven is to sail for I Australia and New Zealand on. June 10. She . • ivill . take 3,000,000 feet, of lumber, and 1000 '. tons of general cargo. The steamers on the .. route are the Den of Ruthven and the In- . dravelli, the latter having replaced the Kazembe. The Pondo and Bucentaur were formerly on this'run, but they proved too small for the constantly increasing business and'had to make way' for larger and more up-to-date steamers. . j . . • Yesterday afternoon the steam trawler , Nova Niven. arrived from Cook Strait. Yesterday the Union Company's steamer Whangape arrived at .Port Chalmers to lay up'for overhaul. '■ ■ . > ... ... The Toroa is expected to leave Wellington this morning for Melbourne, under the command of Capt. M'Kenzie. ■' At six o'clock this evening the Union Comn's. turret dcck steamer: Koromiko is fixed :avo Westport for Wellington. While at Port Chalmers the Karamea loaded about 17,000 carcases (chiefly lanjb) and about 2700 bales of wool and other produce. ■■.■.- It i 3 reported that, the "Union Company's steamer Mora, which''is due at Port Chalmers to-day, will withdraw from the coastal seryico for a time. . ' ■■ •' ; , Tho Union Company's steamer Monowai will / be relieved in the East Coast service this week by the Tarawera. The latter vessel is due ■ hero on Sunday, and sails for Napier, Gisbornc, and Auckland on Monday... .• ... y Telegraphic-advice received by the Marine Department yesterday was to the effect that the Tutanokai was Enable to leave Kaipara on account of the heavy weather. .. It is '. ekpected she. will get out to-day and pro- ■ v oeed to Onehunga. • •••.- ' Tho British ship Forrest Hall, which reached Sydney recently from the west coast . of • South America, has been docked: and cleaned. It was some time since she was previously ' in dock,'and no fewer than. 12 tons of bar-* . nacles and marine growths were , scraped off , her under-plates. • , According to the "Cliristchurch Press" the., work of repairing tho bow rudder of the tur- ; bine steamer Maori is being proceeded with in' dock:, The timber sheathing of the' rudder was completely' stripped off on Monday • morning, but a close examination of the big blade failed to detect any damage. It ia , . thought that tho shaft of the rudder lias been twisted, but this will not be known definitely 'until a close; inspection has been made.' ' It is probable that the shaft; will bo disconnected from the blade to-day and lifted - out. - Meanwhile the turbines and other ma- ■ .' chine'ry <(hd the boilers are being overhauled, and tlio vessel is being painted throughout. It is hoped to''havo the vessel ready for; sea again at the latter end of the week. ' ON A MUD BANK. . ■ (BY TELKGIIAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Auckland, .Tune 10. .
