Napier townspeople are considerably interested in tlie departure of the Scales chartered steamer. Clan Macfarlane direct from their port for London. The vessel will, it is reported, carry the heaviest cargo that has ever left Napier Breakwater Wharf in a single bottom for a foreign, port direct. The loading of about 4000 bales of wool is taking place at the wharf, instead of, as usual with vessels of the Clan Macfarlane's size, out in' the roadstead, and the saving of lighterage thus effected is considerable. Nine hundred bales of wool were waiting on the wharf before her arrival. The vessel will probably leave on Monday for London and Antwerp. General satisfaction, writes the Lyttelton Times, has been expressed at the appointment of Captuia Hunter, master of the turbine steamer, to the position of pilot to the Lyttelton Harbour Board, Jfor he ia ia man well liked and universally respected. Ec vill take up his "shore » billet" as soon as he can be relieved of his present command, and in the meantime the question of whd is to be his successor is providing much speculation in the port. From the point of m<;w of shipmasters, the position is cohsidared probably the best in the service of thd onion Steam Ship Company, and naturally much interest centres in the command of such a splendid vessel as the Maori. Nothing can yet be definitely stated with regard to Captain Hunter's successor. Mr. Walker has joined the Manuka as fourth officer in place ofc Mr. Barber, who transferred to the Koonya as third. Captain J. A. Gregory has been appointed acting chief officer of the Talune. Some time to-day the Maoriland Company's steamer Knnerdale was to leave Wellington for Westport to load for a port not yet decided upon. The Holmdale is now loading » t Greymouth for Dunedin. The Maitai will go into dock at Port Chalmers next Tuesday for her annual overhaul. The Kaituna is expected to load at Kaipara next week for Sydney and Adelaide. The North German Lloyd steamer Seydlitz will' leave Melbourne on the Ist 'February instead of the 26th January. It is surmised that lack of coal is responsible for the alteration. Jlr. A. T. Norton, chief officer of the Monowai, came ashore at Dunedin on Thursday on sick leave, and has been relieved by Mr. Doorly, late of the Waikare. There were 218 passengers on board the Manuka when she sailed . last evening for Sydney. Mr. W. Bonner has joined the Kairaki as mate in place of Mr. J. A. Ruth. . Mr A. Lewis has rejoined the Manuka las ohief engineer, and Mr. R. Patterson has signed off the vessel. A somewhat unusual sight was witnessed from the wharves yesterday afternoon, when the big. Tyser liner Star of Canada, in charge of Pilot Shilling' was moved stern "first from No. 14, Jervois-quay to a berth at the Glasgow Wharf. The vessel was handled in this manner with ease. The Federal-Houlder-Shire Company's Jiner Nairnshire was expected to leave Wanganui for Waitara last evening to continue Homeward loading. She will come to Wellington on Tuesday nest, and proceeds hence ■on Friday or Saturday to Lyttelton, her final port before sailing for Avonmouth on the 27th January. It is expected that the collier' Kaituna, will leave Westport at midnight to-night with a shipment of coal for Wellington. The Maoriland Company's steamer Holmdale, which left for Greymouth on Thursday, will bring a shipment of coal . for the Tyneside Proprietary. She is due to return on Monday. \Mr. Wallls, formerly accountant at v he Westport office of the Union Company, has been appointed manager of the comnany's branch at Lautoka, Fiji. A visit to Wellington will shortly be made by the Napier-owned trawler Countess, formerly a well-known ferry at Wellington. She comes for the purpose of an overhaul and inspection. The collier Rakanoa, which recently delivered a cargo of Westport coal at Suva, is to leave the latter port on Wednesday next for Wellington direct. Loading operations will detain the New Zealand Shipping Company's Orari at Wellington till Wednesday next, when she leaves for Wanganui roadstead. It is expected that the coastal steamer Gertie, which is undergoing an overhaul at Wellington, will be ready to resume woik on Monday. \ Captain R.
