The River:na took 250 passengers for Sydney from New Zealand this trip. The ‘ Marlborough Herald ’ savs that information has reached Blenheim that wreckage is coming ashore at Waipapa Point near Kekerangn (fifty miles south >r Blenheim) The wreckage resembles -he decking of a vessel. There has been a busy time at Lvttelmn. according to the ‘ Press.’ Fonr"lar<m steamers, totalling 14.735 tons, arrived on ‘ aturday morning, bringing the number of vessels in port up to twenty-three, the t;7"onn g V* f! to vu age eins 110 leee than 57,900 tons. Altogether there were fifteen departures from Saturday morning up till ten o clock on Sunday morning, when the wharves, wore a somewhat deserted appearance. THE ORIENT LINE. The Orient Steam Navigation Company, which is adding 60,000 tons of steam ship! ping, to its fleet in connection with the Commonwealth mail contract, dates back In thc . lm ’ when ’t was founded through the joint efforts of Messrs Anderwm, Anderson, and Co. and Messrs F Green and Co. But tfie line was really inaugurated m 1877. i„ June of which vear the Lusitania., a notable ■steamer of that period. was despatched from London to Anstra.v,a tho Gape of Good Hope. Nt first onlv a monthly service was r-on-iemplated, but fortnightly Failings were afterwards determined upon. The romryvnv obtained the. co-operation of the Pacino steam Navigation Company, and for a good many years the enterprise was known as the Orient-Pacific Line A few years ago the Royal Mail Steam Pa'cket Company acquired the steamers which he Pacific Company had put into the <=er nee, and the line came to be known as Qrient-Royal Mai . With the withdrawal if the Royal Mail Company from the association this year the enterprise will preMimably be known as the Orient Line as was the rase a long time ago. There have been sailings fortmghtly. both from Lorn I pop and , 'V’Rteahan ports, since 188. J. and although the new mail contract lontemplates no alteration in the fr e . anenev of the service, it involves a considerable acr-esfion. of speed. To-dav of £lWed hf! 011,131 r ° nt ° is ine^b!y
THE FERRY SERVICE. MARAROA’S SHAFT BROKEN. On her last run from Wellington the Mararoa made good time, but when the engines were being examined at Lyttelton yesterday morning it was discovered that the thrust shaft was broken right across. The break is a somewhat extraordinary one. Usually a fracture in a vessel’s shaft is a longitudinal or diagonal one, and in that case it is possible to put a- patentcoupling on, but in the case of the Mararoa it would have been impossible to have done this. Had the vessel got away to sea before the break was discovered it would have rendered her helpless, and she would have gone adrift'. I It is expected that the repairs will take ten or twelve days. There was no ferry boat from Lyttelton last night, but the Maori takes her time-table run from there to-night, and the Maheno, sailing from Dunedin to-day, takes the run on Wednesday. The Waikare will await the arrival of the express at Wellington this evening, and on Thursday the Pateena will enter the ferry service in place of the Mararoa, and remain in it until the Mararoa resumes running.
