Te ,Anau arrived at the, breakwater early yesterday morning from Gisborne, and Auckland. She landed 125 tons of cargo, and left for Wellington and Southern ports at noon 1 , ' ' ■ ■ ' ■ ■ • The TeKapu 'discharged her cargo oi wool yesterday morning at the breastwork, and at 2.30 p.m. left for Wairoa. The s.s. Hesketh was engaged all day yesterday landing the balance of her cargo of coal, and was to leave for Greymouth at an early hour this morning. The Union Company's s.s. Flora is due at the breakwater this forenoon from Southern ports, and leaves this evening at 8 o'clock' for Gisborne and Auckland. The Tyser ship Brambletye has now about 7000 bales wool on board, and will finish loading to-day or to-morrow. She has had remarkably quick despatch. The Union ' Company's s.s. Kia Ora arrives this morning from Auckland and coast stations, and leaves again for the North Jhia evening at 5 o'clock. The captain, of the "Charle3 Edward reports the schooner Sir Henry— ashore near Farewell Spit — to be in an upright position, and practically uninjured. At low water she ia high and dry, and there is little need for apprehension. The Westport Harbor Board received revenue amounting to .£40,254 during the past year, and with the balance brought forward from the previous year there is a surplus of .621,454. The Board spent on harbor works and the railway during the year. When 240 miles from Suva Captain Abram, of the Hawea, saw what appeared to be a ship's topmast on end rising about eight feet out of the water at intervale, The Weatmeath, recently abandoned in the Atlantic, was one of the largest cargocarriers trading to Montreal. She was under charter to the Hamburg-American Company, and was making her last trip to Montreal this season. Her cargo consisted of 36,000 bags sugar, 20,000 barrels cement,' 5000 cases gin, and 3000 crates bottles. The ship and cargo were valued at about jBIOO,OOO, and were partially insured. When the next mail arrives the Marine Department will be able to form some idea as to when the apparatus ordered from Scotland for the improved light which is to be placed on Soames Island will be ready. The lantern will be that j which did duty at Farewell Spit for some I years, and which has been replaced by a larger one. It is hoped that by about the middle of the year Soames Island will possess a light very much superior to the one which now does duty there.
