VESSELS IN ROUGH WEATHER. The "North Auckland Times" (Dargavillc. Northern Wairoa) of Tuesday last says:—"Tho brigantinc Aratapu, which arrived in port with produce from Lyttelton on Friday, has completed discharging consignments for down-river ports, nnd is. now clearing her hold at Mangawhare. Sho brought a- full cargo, which has been readily absorbed. The captain reports that the trip up, especially through Cook Strait, was one of the most tempestuous ho has ever experienced. Several of the sails were blown away, and had his top-

mils held ho is certain the voyago -would have been completed in forty-eight hours. As it was, the smart little vessel covered the distance in four days. She will load sawn timber at Te Kopuru for Christ ohurch, and storekeepers are hopeful that her present charter trill prove permanent." The Union Company's collier Kakapo arrived at Duncdin on Friday evening from Novroastle after a very rough trip of nearly seven days. The vessel cleared the New South Wales port at 11 p.m. on January 12, and encountered heavy southwest aud westerly gales all the woy across the Twnian Sea. The Kakanpo had to battle against big seas nearly the whole way across, and although her decks were almost continually awash no damage was done on board. She' brought 1900 tons of coal, 66 tons of coke, and 48,631 superficial feet of timber for discharge at Dunedin. The Kakapo was docked at Sydney a fortnight ago in connection with her annual survey and overhaul. On completion of discharge she will proceed to We6tpoct to load for Auckland. The small steamer Wallsend. which left Melbourne on January 17, is duo nt Wanganui to-day. The veßscl is not coming to Wellington. , Tho Rosamond is 'scheduled' to sail for Duncdin direct at noon to-day. Tho Victoria, which was to have sailed from Sydney" yesterday for Auckland and East Coast ports, has been delayed, and Trill not leave until to-moiTow. The date of her probable arrival hero is as yet uncertain. The training steamer Amokura. which has been lying in the stream at Wellington for some time pojt. '"'ill leave this port within tho next fortnight for the Kermadecs and other northern out-lying islands in Bearch of castaways. The Alexander will go up on tho slip to-day for cleaning and painting, and will sail for Nelson and the West Coast on Eriday. CaTitain T. H. Chudley, • local marine superintendent of tho Shaw. Savill, and Albion Company, has returned to Wellington from the south. Mr. H. K. Swain, who went over to Sydney from Wellington last Thursday, is to join tho Wakatipu as purser. The Wanganui Harbour Board recently notified the Marine Department that on and after to-day, the fixed -white light which is exhibited from tho flagstaff on North Head will be changed to a white flashing Aga acetone acetylene light of 300-c.p., flash 0,6 second, followed by. an eclipse of 5.4 seconds. Height of light 65ft., and it should be visible in clear weather for a distance of about 10 miles. The Moona is due at Wellington on Saturday, and on Monday will sail for Melbourne. On her next trip • she will withdraw from the intercolonial service when she reaches Dnnedin, and -will undergo overhaul. The Paloon'a intercolonial running will be taken up by a cargo steamer, which will leave on a date yet to be fixed. Tho steamer for Sydney this week is the Moeraki, -which sailed from lyttelton • for Wellington at about 6 o clock last ovening.
