In continuation of her voyage from London via Capetown, the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's R.M.S. lonic sailed from Hobart at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon for Wellington. The liner is, accordingly due on Monday evening next, and will probably anchor in the bay for the night, berthing after the medical inspection on Tuesday morning. ARAWA LEAVES MONTE VIDEO. A cable message received by the local agents for the Shavr-Savill line intimates that the R.M.S. Arawa, which left Wellington for London on the 7th October, resumed her voyage from Monte Vid?o on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 20th inst. The liner is due at Plymouth on the 17th November. RAROTONGA-TAHITI SERVICE. As yet no definite intimation has been received that the Wellington five-weekly service is to be continued (writes the Rarotonga correspondent of the Auckland Star). The contract was, it is understood, for ten trips, and the boat due to leave Wellington on the 28th November will complete the present contract. Although Auckland merchants and others interested in the Cook Islands raised a good deal of opposition to the Wellington service at its inauguration, events have now proved that it is of great benefit to shippers. The Wellington boat has on each trip carried considerably more fruit from this port than the Auckland boat, and had its itinerary included the other islands in this group she would undoubtedly have carried the greater portion of the Iruit. As regards copra shipments, both the Auckland and Wellington boats have been carrying all they have space for, and it may surprise many of the Auckland public to learn that even the two boats have been unable, at times)- to carry all the copra. TOKOMARU AT PORT CHALMERS. The Shaw-Savill cargo steamer Tokomaru, which arrived at Port Chalmers on Wednesday afternoon, had an uneventful passage from London direct. Fine weather was met with for the greater paH of the way, and the whole voyage occupied 48 days. She steamed up to Dunedm yesterday morning, without being lightened. Captain Mac lie retains command of the Tokomaru, his deck officers being Messrs. F. Robertson (chief), W.- G. Somers (second), E. J. French (third), and E. W. Agnes (fourth), Mr. F. Harvey is chief engineer, Mr. A. Pollock second, Mr. A. F. Kerr third, Mr. L. Miller fourth, Mr. E. Norris fifth. Mr. W. B. Stewart is in charge of the refrigerating department, with Mr. A. H. McDougall as second, and Mr. R. A. Dives is chief steward. The vessel brings about 7000 tons of cargo, including 4000 packages of explosives for Dunedin. About 2500 tons is to be shared between Lyttelton and jN T *lson. Master mariners and others are notified by the Defence Departmnet htat two small barrel targets have been anchored at a spot about six hundred yards off the shore opposite Ngahauranga, and are being used as targets by the Garrison Artillery till the 6th November. * Mr. J. Reid, late second officer of the Warrimoo, left the vessel at Melbourne, and his place was taken by Mr. Hill. A rough buffetting was given the Union Company's collier Komata on her voyage from Newcastle to the Bluff. After leaving Newcastle on the 20th she ran into a storm the next day, and was hove-to for 48 hours. The decks were awash fore and aft while she laboured in a mountainous sea. The vessel reached the Bluff on Wednesday with 350 tons of coal and 26,000 ft of timber, part being for Dunedin, Oamaru, and Timaru. Captain King, who went to Auckland with the hulk Onyx, and Mr. Nicholas, chief officer, are returning to Dunedin by the Tarawera. The question of deepening the berth at the western side of Queen-street Wharf, Auckland, to a minimum of 33ft at low water, was ruised at Tuesday's meeting of the Auckland Harbour Board, as the result of a communication from Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., local agents for the Tainui and lonic. Captain Duder (harbourmaster) in reporting, stated that it was now a matter of chopping and removing rock to get the necessary water of about 33ft low water springs at that berth. This was going on steadily on either side as opportunity offered, but the wharf was now in great demand for inward and outward cargoes, therefore there was mucb interference with the plant. Owing, also, to Dredger No. 121 being wanted in different places there was some delay in getting the rock lifted after being chopped, but when the bucket dredger arrived and got in operation satisfactory progress would be possible. "This matter of deep berthagc at the Railway Wharf is an urgent one, for I understand there is a disposition to send the large regular liners here for the fortnightly shipments of butter when the bertliage is assured and other arrangements completed, in, say, the summer of 1910 and 1911," added the harbourmaster.
