THE FERRY SERVICE.
MAORI AGAIN DELAYED. The ferry ser« vice suffered another hitch last night, when the departure of the Maori was considerably delayed. Everything was apparently in readiness for the vessel to leave for Wellington at the usual time, but jji was discovered about 8.45 p.m. that, owing to the inferior steaming qualities of a trial lot of coal Svhich had been put into hex bunkers she could not proceed to sea. In consequence it was decided to put this coaf aside Vind take in a load of a different class of coal. For this purpose a hulk was taken alongside the Maori about 11 pvm., and the permanent hands of the Union Company commenced to replenish her bupkera. It was expected that the steamer would leave about four o'clock this .morning, reaching Wellington about 4 p-m. to-day.
