Last week oversoa : steamers were at the wharves -waiting, to swallow the wool p-s fast as-it could be dumped and -shunted alongside. Tho work of dumping wool at.the. ? sheds land forward' ing it to'. .the waiting steamers is in no small degree accelerated by the .-promptitudo , .with which the Railway Department. supplies - wagoub and does the .transporting. Twenty-six thousand of .wool and ICOp'. tons of cargo were shunted' round -the wharves last .. week, and the railway people, it'la said, performed the work in a highly creditable,manner.• A• quantity k of wool is yet in store pending the'arrival of the Otaki. . '

'; . DYNAMITING THE HAWEA. .For'the last two.-or three days (says:ii West Ooaat exchange) Mr. Daniels,-with a largo gang of men, havo ,bceu removing all tho valuable parts-from the Hawea at Greymoiith; ana havo now started breaking- the 'ship up with . dynamite. The idea being carried out is to dynamite'the beams, and then, blow a large hole in 'tho bow bo that tho' action of the -heavy -seas will cause the'vessel to collapse/in, two. .Tho beams arc -being broken; by . dynamite, rings, "which ■ are ■ placed round' the ;beams aha .then fired. ■ The vessel was' faithfully . built, and-was oiie of the strongest in the company's fleet. The presont spell,of fine weather is favourable for carrying-out the .work, and it ..is to: be hoped: that before the ncxty heavy sea .sets in all tho necessary work will be completed.' The only danger that is to be avoided is to seo that the side of the vessol does not-.'-jset "swept'. Into the' fairway. , ,>• -• '.' SHAW, SAVILL, AND ALBION CO., LTD.
