PROJECTED DEPARTURES. Mono'wai, for Auckland, August 4. Warrimoos for Melbourne, August 6. Hanroto, for Auckland, August 9 (Sydney passengers tranship to Maheno at Auckland). Moeraki, for Sydney via Cook Strait, August 9. In port at neon to-day :—At Dnnedin : Orari (steam), Dimtrag, Irene, Joseph Sims (sail). At Fort Chalmers : Ulimaroa, Mamari, Mokoia. Moura, Takapuna, Dorset, I i-ak i n ra (steam). Monowai. s.f., due to-morrow morning from Auckland and way ports, was to leave Lyttelton at 4 p.m. to-day for Dunedin. Sussex, s.s., arrived at Wellington on Sundav to continue discharse of West of England cai-go. She. has 2,800 tons of r:irt;o fcr tliat port, and is expected to get away oti Saturday for Lyttelton and Ptinedin. Fver cargo for Dunedin amounts to over 1.7C0 tons. Rakanoa. s.s.. arrived at the Bluff at 3.50 this meriting from Newcastle. She will not be here till Saturday. Hauroto, J-s., will niw arrive here next Tuesday, her time-table having been altered. She was to leave Napier this morning for Auckland direct; is timed to sail from Auckland on Friday for Lyttelton and r>unedin (other ports being omitted), and is due to arrive at Dunedin on Tuesday, and sail the same day for usual Northiirn ports. Pukaki, s.s.. due this afternoon from the West Coast via Lyttelton, will work straight tTmrogb from arrival, and leave to-morrow Kiorniiig for G-reymonth. The New Zealand Shipping Company advise that the Ruapehu left Colombo yesterday. Her next port will be Hobart. The Rinrnt.a,'ka passed Cape Town yesterday en route' to Auckland. Some idea, of the force of the impact when the Hauroto struck the wharf at Napier on Friday may be gained by the fact that t!he noise was heard in the vicinity of tihe Iron Pot, at Port Ahnrrri. IV-s:d?s several haTdwood beams, a concrete beam uteasuring about 2ft by 3ft was cut through. The timber bay was thrown completely out of alignment on the lefthand side. The damage to the wharf is considerable,, but cannot be accurately estimated until an inspection has been made. When the vessel struck those on board naturally felt a severe shock, but the vessel wae backed and brought alongside her proper berth without difficulty. The Italian barque Erminia, which, owing to adverse weather, put into Wellington whfn bound from Dunedin to Lvttelton, arrived at Lyttelton on Sundav night. She was towed from Wellington to Lytsfcerfcon by the Duchess, the amount paid, for towage, the ' Pre6s' reports, beini; £3O. Steady progress is being made at the shipbuilding yards, Auckland, of Mr C. Bailey, jun., with the construction of the "Mar furry steamer for the Devon-

pott Ferry Company, / and it ia anticipated that ah© -will be -ready for* the water by the end of October. An order has been placed with* Mr Bailey by an Auckland syndicate for the of a steamer 145 ft in length, with a beam of 26ft, but owing to the want of space a start will not be mad* with this oon' structicai of this vessel until the ferry steamer is launched. A portion of the cargo brought by the steamer Sussex from Liverpool w«s damaped on the voyage. Before reaching Hobart the steamer encountered a terrific gale, and a portion of the heavy cargo, consisting of machinery, hardware, soft goods, drapery, etc., stowed in No. 2hold, broke loose. The bumping of the heavy cargo against cases and bales, of fancy goods and drapery broke the light oases to matchwood. It is estimated that between 70 and 80 cases and bales of goods were damaeed. The steamer Sonneberg broke her shaft in the Gulf of Guinea. The shaft has been temporarily repaired, and tho vessel is making for Ardakar. SUEZ CANAL TONNAGE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyrifht. LONDON, August 1. The net tonnage of the vessels which passed through the Suez Canal in 1910 increased by 1,174,371 over that for 1909. Tho percentage of British vessels was 61.3, and that of German vessels 14, A TRYING EXPERIENCE. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, August 1. (Received August 2, at 10.25 a.m.) The French barque Neniliy; from Dunkirk to Noumea, put in fox repairs. She was damaged, and sprang, a leak during the gales off the Cape of Good Hope 25 days ago. She was kept afloat only by constant pumping. The crew had a trying time. THE CRUISER NIOBE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. OTTAWA, August 1. The Niobe's hull was pierced in several places. She was refloated on Sunday, having grounded during a heavy fog. The missing sailors rejoined the ship safely. One boat was wrecked, but the otheT rescued the men. When the cruiser struck her position was considered so desperate that the captain ordered all the boats to be got Teady, and the two which were missing had departed before the order was countermanded. .The Niobe will be docked in order to ascertain the damage.
