Tho Rakanoa was docked yesterday morning for cleaning purposes. She will be recommissioned when she comes out, and will sail for Greymoufh direct to-morrow. The Mararoa and Maori are then to be docked for their periodical scrub-down and paintup. , Yesterday the Kini arrived from Greymouth with a part cargo of coal and timber. Work was not commenced on hear yesterday, and she is not likely to leave till the beginning .of next week. Her destination ig not yet decided. The Rosamond is to sail for Greymouth today. The Koonya is due tomorrow, to load for the West Coast. The Ulimaroa met the Riverina ab Wellington yesterday, and continues that .vessel's run to Melbourne. She will arrive here this morning. Last evening the New Zealaud Shipping Company’s steamer Ruapehu sailed for Wetiington, where she is to complete her London loading. She took m a large quantity of wool, frozen moat and other cargo at Lyttelton. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s s.s. Rakaia. which i# making Lyttelton her final port of departure, is due here on Wednesday to finish loading for London. , The New Zealand Shipping Company’s Opawa has gone from Wellington to Port Chalmers, and thence proceeds to the Bluff, loading at each port-. She will call at Lyttelton on fha way back, but her full loading programme has not been drawn up yet. The Federal-Houlder-Sliire steamer Langton Grange, which haa been discharging general cargo, sailed for Dunedin yesterday afternoon. The Shaw, Sa/vill and Albion Company’s liner Matatua left Plymouth on April 7 for Auckland. Wellington and Timaru, and is bringing 3500 tons of general cargo far those ports. She i® duo in Auckland on or about May 22.

The Wootton arrived from NytUa Bay yesterday morning with a cargo of timber. She will sail again to-morrow for Kajapo'i, if the bar there is workable, to load for Poxton and Wellington, or else for Wellington. The Kapiti, which found the northerly sea too heavy' for her the other night, and had to put back for more coal, was not the only vessel in that position. The Bob Roy left Lyttelton on Tuesday night, and she, too, ran short of fuel ■ and had to put back for a fresh supply. She prooeeded to Wellington last evening. The five aaiilora who were imprisoned for refusing duty on board the Cambusdoon were put on board the vessel in custody yesterday morning by the police, so that the vessel might sail at the first opportunity. She was unable to get away yesterday, but will sail with the first fair wind. The Shaw-Savill steamer Kia Ora ia duo nt Wellington to-day to ship cargo for Lon- , don. On May 4 she ia to come to Lyttelton, where she will complete loading, and is to eail for London on May 8. Tho Tyeor steamer Whakarua came into port again yesterday morning to load Homeward cargo. She will proceed to Gisborne. Tbe berthing of a big ocean liner is not always a simple matter, and in the majority of oases the services of a tug 'could hardly be dispensed with from the time the steamer comes through the moles into the inner harbour. A rone is passed to the tug from the bQWS of the steamer, and by pulling upon it the Bteamer is assisted to turn round so a* to lie bow to Bea at the wharf. Without the tug, as » general rule thor* would not be room enough fox the steamer to turn. Yesterday morning, however, the big steamer Whakarua, a modern twin-sorew cargo boat, made quite a display in entering tho harbour. She came through the moles at • good speed, and, far from needing the tug to pull her b<?ws round, awung round about half-way into her berthing position before the Canterbury got a pull on the rope at aIL An Australian shipping journal stated recently that it was reported from Perth that the directors of the P. and l O. Company had decided l to instal wireless telegraph apparatus on their vessels engaged: in the Australian mail service, and that the Marmora would bo fitted up first with the Marconi apparatus. This had been decided upon on account of a station having been installed at Colombo, and of the Commonwealth Government's decision to put a wireless signal station , at Fremantle.
