A , telegram from Wellington sayss—"The , Colonial Insuifciice Company have received a ' cable • message from ■ the Melbourne UnderU - ' writers Association, stating that - the barque %" ' Lochnagar arrived at London on May 2." The Union Company's R.M. steamship Arawata returned on Saturday morning last from a special trip made to Dunedin and Lyttelton, for the purpose of bringing to Auckland those " passengers who had arrived from London by the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamship Tongariro, for this port. The Arawata also brought up a quantity of transhipped cargo from the. same, vessel. Of the | passage up, Captain Cromarty informs us that he sailed from Dunedin at 8 p.m. on the 26th ult.. arrived at Lyttelton at noon on the 27th, and ■ailed same day at 6.30 p.m., passed the East Caps at 9.45 a.m. on the 29th, arriving as above. f Passed s.s. Te Aaau, bound South, abreast of East Cape. 'Experienced, light variable wisds and fine weather throughout the passage. The Arawata is to leave this afternoon for the Fiji, oalllng en route at the Bay of Island*. 1 The *.b. Clansman, came Into harbour on ' Saturday morning , last , from Northern ports with passengers and cargo. This afternoon she Is to leave again for Tauranga. The Kamo Goal Company's , steamship Waitakl returned from Whangarei on. Saturday . { night last, The object of her making this

special trip it to enable her to go into dock this morning for ft thorough cleaning, repairing, etc. She will leave u usual this eveniig for Whangarei. • * ' The' fore-and-aft schooner Louie has since her return to this harbour been undergoing several changes, the most important of which is the converting of her into a topsail schooner. It is generally believed that this ehangc of rig will add most materially to box sailing abilities, as there is no doubt but that as a fore-and-aft' vessel she has been much nndorspaved..... Internally several •. alterations have been made, amongst which is the alteration t>* her cabin, by which, whilst her accommodation fer passengers has been drawn upon, extra cargo carrying space has been obtained. Her hull generally has been overhauled, and the Louie is now in splendid order, ' The s.s. Wellington and lona, the former from Tauranga and the latter from her usual weekly trip to the Oreat Barrier, came into harbour early yesterday morning with passengers and cargo. •' A number of coasters took their departure during Saturday and yesterday. The brigantine Sarah and Mary left for Mercury Bay on Saturday last. There she is to load timber for Brisbane. The a team tag Awhina returned to harbour early on Saturday morning, bringing In tow the barge Una, whioh was recently ashore on Pakiri. The scow is owned by Captain D. H. MoKenzie, and was under charter to Mr. Page. On her way baok the Awhina called in at the Kawau, and brought up from the wreck of the Macgregor "a number of the workmen, whose services were not farther required. She brings little or no additional news to that already received by us from the wreok. The Awhina is now in full working order, and available at a few minutes' notice for towing or other purposes. The barque Alastor having landed her explosives a£ the powder ground came up harbour in tow of one of the North Shore Ferry steamers early on Saturday morning, and has been | berthed in the place recently occupied by the ship Waimate. The barque will commence to ! discharge her cargo this morning, Captain Nearing having been appointed stevedore for that purpose. The s.s. Herald is to leave for Greymouth direct on Wednesday next. The s.s. Manapouri, from Southern ports, is due here about noon to-day, and the s.s. Tarawera, which left Sydney on Thursday last for here, Wednesday early. • - r -• THE COLLISION OFF THE KAWAU. It will be remembered that the .first news respecting the successful floating of the Macgregor was published by us on Friday morning last, it having reached us by the s.s. Wellington, which called off the wreck on the previous night, on her way from Whangarei. On Saturday morning early the steam tug Awhina arrived from Pakiri, with a disabled barge in tow. On the way she called at the s.s. Maogregor, lying in Bon Accord harbour, and brought up with her several of the workmen whose services are now no farther needed, the only men remaining by the disabled steamer being the diver, Captains McGregor, Boss, and one or two carpenters, and the Gienelg's crew. The Awhina brought little or no additional news to that already published by us. After the Macgregor' was hauled broadside on to the beaah an the north aide of Sir George Greg's wharf all hands were discharged, and arrangements were made for them to proceed So Auckland by the Awhina, whioh was to call on her way baok from Pakiri, but Captain McGregor altered his mind at the last moment, and decided to keep the diver and his . party, and one or two other men. Whilst endeavouring to haul the Macgregor on to the beach one of the chains parted and some little time was lost in repairing the breakage. As the tide rose, the Maogregor was hauled in, with the Gazelle nearly on her beam ends. At high water there was four feet of water in the barque, and the Macgregor was in fifteen feet of water. At low water on Friday night the ohains were tightened up, and as the tide rose on Saturday morning it was intended to make another trial to haul the vessel still further inshore, . but unfortunately the barque Gazelle, which had been leaking badly during the night, filled and sank alongside the Macgregor, consequently operations were for a time suspended. It is not anticipated that the sinking of the barque will seriously interfere with the work, further than to delay the arrival of the Maogregor in this harbour for a few days, for the barque lies in such a position that she can be pumped out. As soon as that is done (and it was anticipated that Sunday would see that work finished), it is proposed, after getting the Maogregor well inshore, to properly sling her between the Gazelle'and Fanny Thornton, and then have her towed to town. It is not anticipated that there is very, much damage done to the hull of the Macgregor, other than that recorded at the time of the collision. Captain J. MoKenzie who has been down at the wreck since the first left for Auckland by the Awhina on Friday night as he was suffering severely from an attack of neuralgia. Whilst the principal credit is due to Captain McGregor for the successful floating of the steamer, great .credit is also due to Captain Scott, Mr. Jocelyn the chief officer, Mr. Duncan chief engineer, and the crew of the Glenelg ; also to Captains A Boss, J. McKenzie, and E. Keane for their untiring exertions to further the difficult work in hand.
