A telegram received from Auckland aaya that 4Tie steamer Talune, which left Wellington on Monday afternoon, encountered a hard northwest gale on her trip from Gisborne to Auckland. The vessel made a long passage of thirty hours from port to port. THE TUGBOAT LYTTELTON. The tugboat Lyttelton, recently purchaaed from Lyttelton Harbour Board by the Devonport Ferry Company, arrived tateiy at Auckland on Tuesday morning after a good passage up. This vessel (gays th« New Zealand Herald) -was built 29 years ego, to the order of the LytteHon Harbour Board, and steamed out from Birkenhcad, although she was rigged as a brigantme at that time. Captain Clarke, now chief pilot and harbourmaster att Lyttelton, came out in charge. The steamer was very faithfully built, and as she has been very well taken car© of, looks afmoal Ilka • comparatively new vesse. Tlie original cost of the ve«el was £14,000, ami several years ago she bad new boilers fitted in, and the engines thoroughly overhauled and renovated, the cont being about £6000. The Devonport Steam Ferry Company purchased the Lyttrtton for £3600. and 6ho is to bo engaged in towing work between coast ports and Auckland. WESTERLY GALES. •The westerly giles which are raging on the west coast of the Dominion, are affecting the •hipping from Onenunga to Greymouth. The JJaioa .ComjDajyj advises that the Takaj>una,
which was to have left Onehuaga to-day, is jiot expi cted to be able to get ucrof3 the bar until 9 a.m. to-morrow. It is also reported that the departure of the Rarawa fiom tho same port yesterday had to be abandoned altogether. The Te Anau was up to latest announcements still lying outside We6tport. The Mapounka had no chance this morning of effecting an entrance at tho Orev, and her trip there will probably be abandoned. Two other veesels that have also been barbound are the Huij, at Wanganui, and the Queen of the South, st Foxton. Captain M'Donald, who, left the Waikare at Dunedin on leave, was succeeded by Captain Hu tell ings, who in turn relinquished command at Wellington yesterday in favour of Captain Newton, late of the Miowera. Captain Hutchings proceeded south list night by the Rotomahana for orders. Mr. B. J. Cloke, late third engineer of the Fcdcral-Houlder-Shire steamer Kent, has joined the Huddartt-Parker steamer Victoria iv a like capacity. The Largo' Law, which is now discharging the balance of her curgo of coal at Timaru, is expected to leave that port in a day or two for Kaipara to load timber for Sydney. The Largo Law is a steamer of 3974 tons, and is stated to be the largest vessel y«t chartered to load at Kaipara. From Sydney she will proceed to Newcastle to load coal back for New Zealand. The coastal steamer Baden Powell, recently purchased from Messrs. Lev:n and Co. by the Northern Coal Company, is still laid up, undergoing extensive alterat'ons. These include the fitting of new atter hatch, to make room for the carrying of more cargo. The passenger accommodation, which will be removed to make room for tho new hatch, will be placed on the deck underneath the bridge.
