Advice has been received by the local agents for the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company that the Tainui arrived at Hobart this morning from London and Pl> mouth via Capetown. The \c-.:ul h.is evidently made a fast passage Irani Capetown, and she is two days ahead of her scheduled time. It is expected that tne Tninui will leave Hobart to-night, and she may accordingly arrne here ou Satuiday night or bundny morning THE MARAROA. v Accordin" to the Star, Christchurch, the Manroa will be on the temporarily retired list for another three or four weeks. The first new thrust-shaft that was forged in Port Chalmers proved useless, and a new one had to be begun. Unfortunately there is • no piece of metal in New Zealand, and niobably not in Australasia, heavy. &xor"h .toW-
low the shaft to lie forged from it by swag- i ing down the smaller partts. A number of j collars, together with the thrust-block, constitute the drivers of the steamer, being the point where the thrust of >ttie propeHer, trans- i mitted along the shaft, tslkes. slioW of the hull ! of the -vessel. Fitting and material here must accordingly be strfHig. Afa a shaft cannot be forged down lVom a piece of a snflicient diameter to allovr the. collais to be turned from it, the only all tentative is to weld a long sleeve on to a piece >of shafting. Such a veld is one of the masttfirpieccs of forging, because, not only are the su n£aces to be united very large, but the mass of metal to be dealt with is so large that very .heavy Immmerurg with a powerful hammer is qoquired to effect tlic junction property. The; failure of the first attempt is not regarded as very surprising under tho circumstances, tout it is hoped that the shaft now m hawl »«11 be successful. After the forging is completed, the. shaft will be turned iij> m the> southern workshops, and the holes in the coupling flanges bored, the old shatt being use4l to measure from. When the new part answe.s, there will only be some lesser fitting ttt do. It is understood that the shaft wJ£<u has jus>t failed, and whicli was a sparw one," Uibted about aa long as the one orig anally in the Mararoa, approximately twelve j«avs. LARGE MEAT SHIPMENTS. Cargoes leaving these isliores for London during the last few weeks have lit en mainly characterised by very large shiiHnents of frozen meat. The Buteshire, which left Lyttelton on the 2Sth April, had l>W>,6(il carcases of mutton and lamb, in addition to other large lines of cargo, while th: Drayton Grange, which sailed the previous day, had 713,901 carcases among her huge cargo. THe Tyser Line steamer Indralema, which left Wellington on Wednesday morning, had a car 50 which included 08,813 carcases of mutton ami lamb. The principal items were C 8.130 carcase lamb, 30,683 carcases mutton, 30,480 legs mutton, 3229 quarters, legs, and carcases betst,. 'C Gi bales wool, and 27»0 casks tallow, peliM , casings, etc. The Tol:omnru, which left l«-re on Wednesday last, took away the following 'quantities of frozen meat: — 31,341 carcase^ mutton, 7(>,736 carcases lamb, 2494 quartets beef, 780 pieces mutton, 21 carcases veal, and 798 boxes kidneys. THE AUAHURA. At present on her way from Weslport-. to Kelson, the Arahura is timed to leave lihe latter port at 10.30 a.m. to-morrow for i2Scton. The vessel leaves Picton at 5.30 p.m. for Wellington, and should anive here hetv.een 9 and 10 o'clock io-morrow night. THE WHAKARTJA. To-morrow the Tyser Company's steamer ll Whakarua is -due to arrive here from Wanganui roadstead to fill up and replenish bunkers. The local agents hope to despatch her for London, ua Lab Palmas, on Thursday morning. ENNERDALE AND LAUDERDALE. Last night the Maoriland Steam Ship Company's s.s. Ennerdale left Auckland for the Bluff, where she is to lopd oats for Sydney. Tiie Lauderdale arrived at Greymouth on Saturday night from Auckland, and will sail about the end of the week with a shipment of timber for Sydney and Melbourne. She afterwards proceeds to Hobart to load timber for New Zealand. MORE NEWCASTLE COAL. Advices from Newcastle stale that the Union Company's collier Wanaka is bringing a shipment of coal to Wellington, the vessel having left at 11 p.m. on Saturday. This will make t^o large shipments m the one week, the otlier (about 4000 tons) being on board the- Huddavt-Parker's steamer Moorabool. Both vessels should arrivo here on Friday. On Thursday next the Takapuna, which is at present laid up for an overhaul, will be ■placed on the Patent Slip. It is expected that the Scales chartered steamer Clan Grant will, leave Sydney to-day for Lyttelton to commence inward loading' for London. The collier Melbourne, which arrived on Sunday morning fiom Newcastle, yja Auckland, has about 1100 tons of coal to discharge at Wellington, and will afterwards proceed to Hokianga to load timber for Sydney. Reports from Wanganui state that all attempts at refloating the sunken steamer Charles Edward have been abandoned. Several hundred pounds have been spent in futile attempts, and the hull is now to be blasted out of the way by the AVanganui Harbour Board. About the end of this week the barque Weathersneld is expected to get away for Suva. Owing to the bad condition of the Wairan bar the small coastal steamer Opawa is laid up at Blenheim, and Captain Eckford and the vessel's crew returned to Wellington on Sunday by the Te Anau. A new and powerful steam tug, specially designed and built to meet the towage requnements of Port Jackson, has left South Shields, on the Tyne, for Sjdney. She will make the \ojage via the Suez Canal, and will call at several ports on the way to replenish her coal bunkers. Heroic is the name chosen for the new tug, which was bmlt> to the oider of Sjdney clients by Messrs. J. P. Rennoldson and Sons, of South Shields. S!ie is 123 ft m length.
