THE SCHOONEE OAKLAND. Private- advices received in Christchurch state that the schooner Oakland,- which left Samoa on the 12th March, arrived at Portland, Oregon, after a trip nt 96 days. Two or three gales were experienced during the voyage, blowing the sai)a to pieces, but most of the journey was traversed in calm weather, though at one tima the vessel was covering 13 knots. It will 'je remembered that the Oakland was placed ander arrest at Lyttelton pending the production of a bond on account of a claim for damages amounting to £4250, claimed by Messrs. Wright, Stephenson, and Co., and Messrs. W. H. Simms and Sons, of Christchurch. The vessel was finally released on the 24th December, and left Lyttelton for Apia on the 30th December. It is understood that the master of the Oakland (Captain Wendt), upon her arrival at Portland, signed oil that vessel and took command of one of the new American ■wooden steamers. The Northern Company's Arapawa, which is stranded on the Waitara bar, is a vessel of 291 tons. She was built by J. Fullerton and Co., of Paisley, in 1908. Her principal dimensions ares-Length, 120.5ft; breadth, 22.1ft; depth, B.6ft. It is interesting to note that Mr. W. Bennett (Secretary of the Wellington Waterside Labour Employment Association) was engineer of the vessel when she came out from the United Kingdom.
