LATE SHIPPING
Ths New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Kaipara arrived at Port Chalmers at 2 p.m. today from the Bluff for Homeward loading. SOUNDS TRIPS. PROBABLE~H EVIV AL,
As a result of negotiations which the Tourist Department has conducted with the Union- Steam Ship Company, there is every probability of a revival of the tourist excursions to tho West Coast Sounds which were so popular a few years ago. Since the loss of tho Waikaro in Dusky Sound in January, 1910, there has been a lot of discussion concerning the lack of facilities for tourists wishing to make the trip. Ifc is understood that, provided sufficient inducement is forthcoming, the Union Company will despatch a boat—probably the Arahura—to the sounds iu the •coming season. It is intended to send the vessel ones during each of tho summer months from Wellington, calling at Picton, Nelson, Westport, and Grey-mouth. Passengers will be landed at Milford Sound to walk over the hills to the lakes, tourists from overland joining the vessel and coming up tho coast, SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
