Ship Building on the Waiwera.—At the mouth of the Waiwera Eiver (on the opposite side to the Hot Springs) is a small settlement containing a public house, store, and post-office, kept by Mr. John Bullivan, and a few other houses. On the beach in front of Mr. Sullivan's Hotel a schooner is being built for him by Mr. Dunning, shipbuilder, a promisng young man who has only lately servd his time. The construction of the vessel is under the supervision or Inspection of the owner, who knows something about shipbuilding. As far as can be seen of her frame, new up, she appears likely to prove an excellent model, — with first-class lines, and will certainly possess good carrying capacity, being intended for the timber or coal trade. The builder hopes to have her completed and ready for launching early in February, when she wUI come to Auckland. The last vessel turned out at this yard was the schooner Waiwera, which has proved herself to possess good sailing qualities. Mr. Sullivan generally has a new vessel constructed at Waiwera »n??r ? ver y. ei B ht months. This speaks well for enterprise, when vessels of this class and tonnage ar R built in one of the many coves around the coast Wo understand that Mr. Sullivan is very Dleased with the class of work in the new schooner/udtbe expldiUoui manner in which it is going on Herdimenirinnß »re? length of keel, 67 tat; bim.l7 Feet; d"p?ho? hold' 7-i feet; tannage, builder's measurement, 70 tons'registered tonnage, 40.

SHIPBUILDING ON THE COAST. Amongst the many craft building on the Northern ' coast of this province, principally where ship timber is within easy access, may be mentioned the following :— At Mangawai, Mr. Donald Mclnnes has just completed a fine cutter for Messrs.

The cutter has been well and strongly built, the best material being also used in her construction. Her dimensions are—Length of keel, 48 feet; beam, 16 feet; depth of hold, 6 feet 2 inches; registered tonnage, 80 tons.
