A few days ago it was reported at Wellington that owing to an insufficiency of? water in the new cut in the Boulder Bank at Nelson on Thursday' morning the Pateena had to wait outside from 4.30 to 6.30! a,m. „- Captain Collins, the pilot, speaking to a Nelson Mail reporter, states a Press Association telegram, gives the statement an emphatic denial. The reason given for the delay was that he took the Kotukn out at midnight on Wednesday night, and told tlie pilot crew to "turn in" till 5.30, as no advantage could- be gained by bringing in the Pateena immediately on arrival. The Pateena coirfd have been brought in easily at dead low water. THE NEW ORIENT LINBRS. At the half-yearly meeting of the Orient Steam Navigation Company, held at London on the Bth December last, Mr F. Green, who presided, made the following remarks about the new liners : — "It gives us great satisfaction to be able to say that in every essential the new steamers have fully answered our expectations, and we believe that the verdict of expert and of public opinion is as favourable ab our , own. They are nob only capable of earning a large revenue, but what is better they have already shown their uajMtbittties-in this respect. I consider that we owe a debt of thanks and gratitude to those eminent bnilders, Messrs John Brown and Co., the Fairfleld Ship Building and Bngtneermg Company, the London and GlasgowShip Building- Company, and Messrs. Workroan, Clark, and Co., for the very able assistance they gave us in designing these steamer!,, and for the very superior Way in which they have carried out the building of them. I can assure you I make this statement on behalf of my colleagues in no spirit of selfcomplacency. Ifc would have been beyond expectation that all the new steamers should have gone without any defects on their first voyages. I am happy to say that while there have been many little points, clnefiy connected with the domestic arrangements of the steamers, some of them having been pointed out to us by friendly critics amongst the passengers, they have been overcome. Theie have been no serious defects, or any that would have been of an expensive nature "to remedy." THE KAIPARA'S CARGO. - Portion of the Kaipara's cargo which has been found to be undamaged will be tran -ferred to the Wakanui, Orari, and Whakatane. -It is anticipated that the frozen meat stowed in No. 2 hold will be a total loss, and a portion of the butter and cheese will be damaged als>o. - AH the general cargo in the tiK> holds will have to be reconditioned. THE DORIDE'S CHARTERERS. It M-anspires that the charterers of the Italian barque Doride are the Kauri Timber Company, of Melbourne, The vessel is now discharging SlarseiHes tiles at Wellington and Captain Cacace expects to leave for Auckland with balance of cargo in a fortnight to three weekb. It is not definitely known where the Doride will load, but it will probably be I either Mercury Bay or Kaipara, where she fills up for the United Kingdom, INVERTAY, FOR AUCKLAND. It has been decided that the Shaw-SaviU chartered steamer Invertay, now at the King's Wharf, will make a return visit to Auckland for further loading, before sailing finally for London. The vessel is to leJrrc for the northern port to-morrow morning, and will probably get away for London before the end of the present week. WAKANUI AT AUCKLAND. From Liverpool direct the New Zealand Shipping Company's cargo steamer Wakanui arrived at Auckland at 1 a.m. to-day, and after discharge of part cargo she cohtinuet, to Wellington. Her arrival is looked for about the 17th in&t.. and from here the vessel proceeds to Lyttelton and Dunedin. - MORAVSHIRE REACHES AUCKLAND. At 1 a.m. to-day the Federal-Houlder-Shire liner Morayslme arrived at Auckland - from Liverpool, via Sydney. She is expected to reach Wellington on Monday next. The Wakanui and the Morayshire, from Liverpool, must have kept very close company from Cape Maria to Auckland yesterday. They passed the former place within five minutes of each other, and reached ilieir destination at 1 a.m. The Morayshire, calling at the Cape and Sydney, had left Liverpool on the 13th November, the Wakanui, coining direct, a fortnight later.
