NAPIER’S HARBOUR.
Im our shipping news to-day will be found two items of intelligence which are decidedly worthy of note by those persons who regard with affectionate eyes that costly white elephant, by courtesy ’yclept a breakwater. Yesterday, although BO storm was raging, the conditioi of things at the breakwater was such that the Wainma. a big collier, had to quit her berth and put out into the roadstead. This morning is fine without wind, but no weasel can put up at the breakSter. Early this morning also *t, y be noted that the Kini. a collier of 1122 tons, entered the inner harbour without the slightest difficulty. If an old collier cannot risk her existence at the breakwater when a little southerly weather . comes along, how safe and comfortmtfble it would be for the big ocean which the Chairman of the:
Harbour Board looks forward to accommodating. The position to-day is one that should prove a real eyeopener.
