EILEEN WARD DAMAGED. last Saturday the dredge Eileen Ward went aground at the entrance to Bullet Slyer, and developed a serious leak. Captain Simpson had to slew the vessel after »e got her off the stone at the entrance morning, says the Westport Times." In the race up stream he was •eady to beach the dredge at any suitable place had it bocome compulsory. When apposite the crane wharf the inflowing ivater had put out the fires, and when the vessel came to a standstill opposite the merchandise wharf tho engineers and Bremen were up to their waists in water, rhe dredge was the centre of attraction on Saturday afternoon and night, as she lay on tho bottom in the river opposite the merchandise whaif. The hoard's diver. Found two small 'holes below tho waterline, and plugged them. The Firo Brigade's steam pump worked late into tho night, and cleared tho hull of water, and tho vessel was soon rendered watertight. The dredgo was shifted into a better position in tho river. After further temporary repair of damage tho Eileen will proceed to Wellington and go an the slip. HINEMOA'6 MOVEMENTS. Tho Acting-Secretary for Marine advises lhat the Hinomoa was to have left Wesv port at noon yesterday for Kahurangi Point and Farewell Spit. It is improbable that a landing will bo effected at Kahurangi. She calls at Farewell Spit and Stephen Island on the say here, and should arrive in nort to-morrow night, rhere is a' possibility that she will remain at one of tho islands, and will not in that case get in here unfil Monday. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. W. T. Eyre has joined the Fatoena as assistant purser. Mr. W. M. Ludlow, late of the Wimmera, has joined tho Eiverina as assistant purser. Tho Awahou is due here from Picton today, and will sail for Foxton as soon as ;argo discharging ha.s been concluded, ivhich will probaoly bo on Monday. The Defender is due here from Greymouth to-day. She was to have loft tho southern port on Thursday. She leaves hero for Picton, Groymouth, and Hokitika mi Monday. The Breeze left hore for Wanganui yesterday evening. Owing to the labour difficulty hore it is doubtful whether she will retnrn to Wellington. I The Ngakuta left Gisborno on Thursday afternoon for Groymouth.' It is probable that sho will load at Greymouth for Lyttelton. Three hundred end soyenty-fivo saloon and 163 steerage passengers booked berths' at the Union Company's office for passage to Lyttelton by tho Maori last evening. . The Melbourne Steamship Company s steamer Perth arrived at Auckland from Newcastle on Wednesday to discharge hor cargo of timber. The vessel loeded. her cargo at Busselton. West Australia, and called at Newcastle for bunker coal. An easterly gale was experienced oil tho way from Newoastlo to Auckland, which layed the vessel'somewhat. After, completion of disohargo the Perth will sail for Mercury Bay and Whangarei to load timber for Melbourne. Tho oicoss of arrivals at, over departures from, the port of .Auckland during January was' 530, says tho Auckland "Herald/' This return shows a decrenso of 29, when compared with the corresponding figures for January, 1916. The excess of arrivals over departures for the same month in 1915 was 331. Tho actual number of arrivals during the past month was 984, and of departures 454.
