After some controversy the \Ve9tporb Harbour Board has decided to send its tug Muna to Nelson for an overhaul. Mr Younsf, Resident EuijinGev at West-port, has been instructed by the Government to select a site for a wharf at Little Wanganai. Mr J. Mills, managing director, Captain Cameron, marine superintendent, and Mr Aiken, inspecting: iiccoimtaub of the Union Co, are passengers to Aucltlaud )>y tlie Mokoin this afternoon. The accident to the machinery of the Douglas, winch, necessitated her pultiug into New Plylnoutu on her way from Mokau to Wellington, was due. to the orank-pin bolt breaking at the neck and causing tho piston to come in contaot with the oylinder cover, slightly cracking tho latter. Mr Brown, engineer of the Takapuna, inspected the damaged parts on behalf of the Customs officials, and was satisfied that the temporary repairs effected by Mi % Hay, engineer of the vessel, would carry her to Wellington without further mishap. No other break-down occurred after leaving New Plpmouth. A new cylinder cover is being cast by Messrs Cable and Co, nnd advantage is being taken to thoroughly overhaul the engines. Mr Hay, who has succeeded Mr Irvine as engineer, was formerly connected with the British-India Go's service, and move lately with the ps Terrauora. V There is still a large quantity of cargo to be put oh board the Star of victoria, and it is found necessary to postpone her departure for London via Las Polmus until to-morrow.
