The Canterbury Company's steamer Storm is due here to-morrow from Wanganui. She is to sail the Bame day for LytteltQn, Timaru, and Dunedin. At tho last meeting of the Gisborne Chamber of Commerce Mr. W. O. Long urged the necessity of telephonic communication between the mainland and the Portland Island lighthouse. He stated that such a convenionce would be valuable to,the shipping* and commercial people. In the course of the discussion it. was pointed out that representations on the subject had been made to the Post-master-General in 1912, when an estimate for the work had been prewarcd, The estimate of the cost was £1050, and £50 a ywir for maintenance. The chamber decided to renew thejv request to the Government for the installation.

The Ttlonowai left Auckland n 8.45 o'clock on Saturday night- for Wellington direct, omittinr the usual oalls nt G!rhorne and Nnplcr. She Rliouicl reach here to-mght, and will be dispatched to-mor-row afternoon for Lyttelton and Dmtcdin.

The Corinna v is advertised to sail tomorrow for Dunedin, Oaraaru, and Timaru. The work of installing the new engines in the schooner Houto at Port Olialmera waa expected to have been completed for a trial run on Saturday. In order to install this machinery—two 60 h.p. ficandia engines—the vessel had to undergo extensive structural alterations. The Houto has been fixed to load general cargo at Dunedin on Wednesday for Lyttelton. When the Union Company's collior Kahika was leaving her berth at the Birch Street Wharf, Dunedin, on Thursday evening, bound for Greymouth, the vessel's stprn came into contact with several of wharf piles. The impact was not very serious, hut hit with sufficient force to damage the rudder. Tlie Kahika returned to her berth for the night,, and it was then decided to Jjcnd her down to Port Chalmers for dotfing for examination and repairs. It is expected that the neccssary repairs will be completed by to-day., when she will probably get away for Greymouth to load coal again for Dunedin. The Kincmoa is to leave to-morrow morning for The Brothers, where she will change the keepers and land stores and provisions, and Jackson Head beacon, where she will renew (he gas supply. If the weather is favourable, the vessel will co to Kahuranjd Point lighthouse, as a landing was not effected when she called there on Wednesday last. Impairs in the eneme-room of rhc vessel will be carried out on her return. The Putiki arrived last night from Wanganut by way of Tory Channel, whore a consignment of whale oil was shipped. The Putiki will leave to-night for Dune* din, Oaraaru, and Tiinaru.
