The Oamaru dredge Progress arrived at Port Chalmers this morning to undergo docking and overhaul. The Shaw-Savill steamer Waiwera, which has been laying up at Port Chalmers for the past few weeks, came out at noon to-day and sailed for Wellington to go on the loading berth for London.

Three vessels dock at Port Chalmers on Friday, the Pukaki and Kowhai in the old dock, and the Progress in. the new dock.

DEARTH OF " THERE SHE BLOWS." After dropping £6,000 in the unprofitable venture of whaling in New Zealand water, tho Norwegian Whaling Company's barque Mimosa left Port Chalmers this morning for Europe. This vessel was fitted to envy the spoil in the shape of bone and oil, but with product of onlv 40 mammal corpses in her holds she follows the steam whaler Hobart, which harpooned the whales and which preceded the. store ship homewards a week ago. Tho Mimosa goes to Falmouth for orders, and there will probably be instructed to proceed to one of her owners' other widely distributed whaling stations, the coast of Africa being deemed her likely destination. Whaling does not seme to infatuate sailors, for while the Mimosa was beiug cleaned and painted in dock preparatory to her homeward voyage no less than seven of her crew deserted, preferring presumably to lose over a year's wages which were coming to them* rather than proceed in her to other whaling grounds.
