The Auckland olliee of the Union Company advises that as the Arahura has been delayed there her sailing from Napier for Gisborne and Auckland is uncertain.

The R.M.S. Niagara sailed from Auckland for Vancouver on Saturday evening. Owing to the epidemic and other reasons the vessel was delayed looser at Auckland than was expected when she arrived from Sydney. A large quantity of cargo was shut out of the vessel owing to thofe being uo labour available on the day of the armistice, and also through the waterside workers stopping work at 5 p.m. ou Friday and /Saturday. The barque Rothsay Bay sailed for Melbourne from Auckland on Sunday with a cargo of timber.

The Island steamer Flora has bccii delayed for some time with the influenza epidemic, and it is not known' when snu will be dispatched to the Eastern Paeiiie. It i 3 stated that Wio crew will not take the vessel to sea while there is any danger of an outbreak occurring—Auckland •■Star."

The barque Daniel is at present at Wangauui, discharging her cargo of case oil. The influenza epidemic has interfered considerably with the work of discharging, and it is likely she will proceed to another port upon the completion of same. Tho Arahura, Flora, Whangape, and Rakanoa arc still hung up indefinitely at Auckland owing to the shortage of seamen through so many hciug ill with influenza. The Poherua is still laid up at Onehunga. The barquontine Senorita left San Francisco for Auckland with a cargo of case oil on September 28. She should arrive about the beginning' of next.mouth.

Tho Australian barquontine Alexa arrived at Auckland from San Francisco on Friday after an uneventful passage of 71 days. Hor. cargo is case oil. The sudden appearance, in port vectorday of the ex-harbour tug Admiral, with her red-bonded funnel, was accounted for by the urgent need for medicines and coke at the hospitals at, Picton and Blenheim, both of which are crowded with influenza patients. Captain Gordon, harbourmaster at Piclon, brought lh,o Admiral across.
