The vessel took her departure from London on the 25th November, having on board 13,000 tons of cargo. Her trip out was uneventful. Captain V. J.

According to the Herald, very little cargo is offering for the steamer Eoserie, now at Auckland. The vessel was expected to have cleared for the South last week, but is now waiting oiders. The steamer Knight of the Garter has albO received very little cargo. The Slip will be occupied on. Tuesday next -by the steamer Nikau. The Ennerdale will go on two days later. The Waimea is being detained at Gisborne by bad weather, and will not now reach Wellington until Tuesday next, leaving the same day for Nelson and West Coast. The steamer Flora is being transformed from a cargo and passenger craft to a collier. The alterations are being made at Dunedin. It is stated that the Waimate will sail finally for London from Lyttelton,. and not Port Chalmers, as previously announced. The steamers Mangapapa and Wairan, which recently stranded at Karamea, sustained no damage. In connection with the sinking of the tug "Pijofc, it is Btated that when the vessel was raised to the surface the seacock was found closed. Her hull was also found practically watertight, consequently the mishap cannot be accounted for. The evidence taken at the preliminary enquiry is now being reviewed by the Marine Department. Messrs. H. Bates, A. K. Graham, and P. J Mathews, late pursers of the Warrimoo, Wanaka, and Moeraki respectively, have resigned from the Union Company's service. Messrs .■Graham and Mathews are on their way to Sydney. According to the Press, Captain Bollons, of -the Hinemoa, stated that on his way to Lyttel•ton from Wellington he surveyed the uncharted : patch of rocks recently reported by the muster of the fishing launch Waira-u. He stated | that he found the rocks at 9i cables from the south end of the four fathom shoal between the mouths of the Waiau and Amuri rivers, and bearing South 3*Jeg, E. (correct magnetic) from the shoat. The rocks are all sharp pinnacles, covering an area of about 500 square feet," extending E.S.E. and W.N.W. There is fifteen feet of water over one pinnacle at low water springs, and about 18 fathoms of water, with a rocky bottom, between the patch and the shoal. While there is a quantity of kelp to indicate the position o£ -the shoaL, there is nothing to show the presence of the rock pinnacles excepta slight lipple on the water at low tide. Captain Bollons remarked that it was strange that they had not been reported before, or that vessels steering close inshore in heavy water had not struck them. He has reported the survey&ig of the rocks and then- exact position to the Marine Department.
