Referring to the Progress, which was in port hero last week, a Wellington exchange says: Fitted with single propeller machinery, the recently-commis-sioned Progress left Port Chalmers last Friday for Lyttelton, Picton and Greymouth, on her first voyage as a steamer. After many years' service as a dredge at Oamaru, the Progress was converted into a three-masted schooner at. Port Chalmers toward the end of the war. She made a voyage to Australia, and also carried several cargoes on the New Zealand coast. As a schooner, she did not come up to expectations, and she was laid up in Carey Bay for many months. It was then decided to convert the Progress into a steamer, the work being completed about two weeks ago. Seafaring men express the opinion that she will prove a success, and a payable coastal carrier. On two harbour runs from Dunedin to Port Chalmers, her propelling machinery worked satisfactorily. She will be employed carrying coal and timber from Greymouth. to various coastal ports.” TELEGRAMS. WELLINGTON, Juno 1. Sailed at 10.55 p.m. on May 31, Opua, for Greymouth. LYTTELTON, June 1.
