The Federal steamer Westmoreland, which arrived at Wellington on Sunday morning from New York, via Auckland, is to tranship her Lyttelton and Dunedin cargo at Wellington, and will remain here until Sunday to enable repairs to be made to her engines. The trouble, which it Is understood includes the stripping of some of the blades of her port turbine, developed soon after she left New York, and the vessel steamed at reduced speed on most of her run from that port to Auckland. The trouble is not of a serious nature, and she is expected to leave here on Sunday for Wanganui to commence her homeward loading.
