MANUKA, FROM SYDNEY

Shortly after midnight last night the Manuka dropped anchor in the stream at Wellington, two days late on the run across from Sydney. After pratique had been granted the vessel berthed at No. 1 south, Queen's Wharf, this morning. The Manuka's late arrival was dua to the,fact that she did not, get away from Sydney rnitil 10 p.m. on, Friday last. Weather conditions on the passage were fairly good, although there was -a slight sea at times. The Victoria, vhicfi reached Auckland yesterday from Syduey, reported very heavy weather, so the passencers oh the Manuka can consider themselves very fortunate in not encountering' similar conditions. Last night an impromptu concert was given by. some of the members of "Alother Goose" Company, who were on-board, but no collection.-was taken up. The cargo brought to Wellington consisted of. 1638 tons, including a large quantity of Eastern goods, mostly Oriental silks. The Manuka will not go on to Lyttelton this trip, but will sail to-morrow evening' for Sydney again . . ■

A VALUABLE FREIGHT

The barque Kolffl, which was recently purchased by G. H. Scales, Ltd., is about to undertake a. passage for which she is to receive an excellent freight. The vessel arrived at Melbourne on the 26th May..wth a full cargo of kauri from Mercury Bay. She will shortly proceed to Surprise Island to'load 'a cargo of guano for' New Zealand at the excellent-figure (so it is reported) of £2 per ton. In normal rtimea guano is paid for at the rate of from 17s 6d to-£l per ton. The Eona Is a very heavy carrier, and has a capacity of something like 0200 tons, so that she -will hare, approximately, £2400 In freight. TMs is probably the hlfrheirt freight over paid for men a voyagt

HMOS COMPANY'S LATEST PTOCHASE Awfcher ve3sel has been purchased by the Union. ;Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, Ltd., to cope with its ever increasing trade. The "vessel in question is the steel single-screw steamer Dalmore, of '4717 tons gross register, which was reported in The Post recently as hnvv ing been sold to British buyers. She was purchased at the. high price of £150,000. The Daldorch was built by Scott's Engineering and Shipbuilding Company, Glasgow, for the Alliance Shipping Company, Ltd. (Messrs. J. M. Campbell and. Sons, managers). Shipping values have advanced to snch an extent since the outbreak of war that people arc wondering if the unprecedented rise will ever stop. Something like a year ago ;the Union Company purchased the steamer Maritime, ex Schlesien, one of the captured German steamers, since renamed the Waikttwa, at the tremendous price, so it was then thought, of £120,000. The Dalmore is a much smaller vessel than .the Wuikawa, so it would seem that instead of being purchased at something like <i record figure at the time, the WaiI ka-wa was in reality a bargain

MOANA' PUT OFF

The Union Company advises that the departure of the X.M.S. Moana has been postponed from Thursday until Friday afternoon

VICTORIA'S ROUGH PASSAGE

A Press Association message received from Auckland last evening reperts that the Victoria, which arrived, there shortly after noon yesterday from Sydney, had experienced very rough weather on the way across, and had sustained some minor damage to her deck fittings. The Victoria is due at Wellington nest Saturday, and leaves the same day for Dunedin direct

KONA AND WHITE PINE LEAVE ATJCKLAJTD

Two interesting, departures took place" .from Auckland last erening reports that the VieAmerican four-masted schooner Kona, for Newcastle and the Pacific Coast, and the second was that of the barque White Pine for Antefagasta. The Kona, bound from Newcastle to Port Allen with coal, put into Auckland about a month ago in a leaky condition,, and was later docked and her cargo disposed of. She is now on her way to Newcastle to load another cargo of coal for Port Allen. The vThite Pine, bound from Newcastle to Antofagasta with coal, put into Auckland with a broken chronometer and severely damaged by heavy weather

RADIO AWANtfI

/Considerable ■ inconvenience has been caused to shipping companies and others (says the Auckland Herald) owing to the failure of the radio station at Awanui (V.L.A.) to get into touch with steamers approaching Auckland and to transmit messages from the shore to incoming steamers. The liner Port Hardy, which reached Auckland at 3.30 a.m. last Tuesday from New York, was trying to get into touch with Auckland from 6 a.m. on Saturday until Monday evening, but without success. Despite the fact that the operator could hear plainly the stations at Suva and Sydney, both much further away than An'anui, the latter station did not answer any of his calls. The Port Hardy is not the only steamer to experience this difflcnlty. • A wireless message was sent by the New Zealand Shipping Company asking for, the time of the Whakatane's expected arrival, but it, never reached the steamer, which was but a short distance off the coast. In this case the company also received a notice from the Telegraph Department stating that the message had not been delivered owing to the steamer not answering the call. As the vessel bad left Auckland when the notice was received, further enquiry from the operator is to be made. The- bfflcial stated that they had had trouble of tin's nature before. The matter will be brought to the notice of the Minister for Marine * .

NORA NIVEN AT NAPIER

The Nora Niven, which left Wellington some days ago-for a fishing cruise, arrived at Napier on Saturday, and1 will flsh out of that port for about six months, when she will return to Wellington to flsh for the local market
