At Port Chalmere : Otaki, Pakeha, Turkistan, Mouxa, Flora, Hauroto, Te Anau, Progress, Rakiura (steam). " I should not be surprised if the Afghanistan took sixty-two or sixty-three days on the trip," a seafaring man said this morning when it was stated that the vessel was fifty-six days out from London to-day, and should be putting in an appearance. If the Afghanistan does take sixty-three days we shall probably have the October and November direct steamers in port at the one time—the Afghanistan I and the Waiwera. i j The Westport Coal Company's two coal cagying eteainers are said to be likely to Auckland this year for their perwßical docking and overhaul, which have been carried out at Port Chalmers for several years. The reason for the change is causing some speculation in shipping circles, a 6 Port Chalmers reputation for this kind of work is unexcelled and the company is a local one. Ennerdale, s.s., Keith Ramsay and Co. have been advised from headquarters, is due at Dunedin to-morrow from Port Espexance, Tasmania. Koonya, s.s., which arrived last evening v from the West Coast, sails to-morrow far Westport and Greymouth via ports. Tarawera, s.s., is due to-morrow from Auckland and East Coast ports. News of her arrival at Lyttelton had not been received at noon to-day.' Captain Chas. Watchlin. who was recently master of the 6cow Ngaru, trading between Wellington and Tonga Bay, has sold his share of interest in the vessel to the Maorilarrd Steamship Company, and is about to join the schooner Clydo, trading to the Chathams, as chief officer. Nairnshire, s.s., has been fixed to load in New Zealand for Home. She is to sail for Avomnouth on January 28.
