Tbe tug Plueky, with the chairman and members of the Harbor Board, proceeded to tbe Heads this afternoon on a visit of Inspection of the works at the North Head. The harbor works at Hokitika have been so far an undoubted success, and the necessity of extending them still further seawards is urged. During the last five months there were fourteen days with lift to 16ft depth of water, S'xty-three days with 12ft to ISft, fifty-nine days with 10ft to lift, and fifteen days with Bft to 9ft. The mean average depth of water is about lilt 6tn, with a well-defined and almost straight channel into the port— * West Coast Times.' The Mawhers, which had her sternposi and part of her keel fractured by being stranded at Hokitika, has just undergone a complete overhaul in the graving dock at the hands of Messrs Morgan, Cable, and Stevenson ; and thanks to the facilities ty both dock and Uestrs Morgan and Co.’s workshops, she has received such repairs as render her-qnite as good as tho day she left the stocks. In addition to a new sternpost, and part of a new keel, her engines have been thoroughly overhauled, her hull cleaned, scraped, and repainted, and her cabins re-decorated. She steamed up to town this morning, and will resume her old trade to tbe West Coast, leaving on Monday lor Greymouth via Oamaru and intermediate ports. THE DIRECT STEAMERS.
