THE STEAMER MANUKA.
CARGO ALL DISCHARGED. SHORT PERIOD FOR REPAIRS. RESUMES ON JANUARY 16. [r,Y TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT. J DUNEDIN, Tuesday. Discharging operations on tho steamer Manuka were completed last evening. The Lyttelton cargo from Melbourne was transhipped to the Corinna, including a consignment of rice flour, which suffered considerable damage by water. Tho cargo carried by the Corinna to Lyttelton includes transhipments ex the steamers Gogra, Janus, Taprera, Red Italia, Esperanco Bay, Moreton Bay and Jervis Bay. The freight is consigned to about 40 business houses in Christchurch. The Manuka was removed to a berth at the Rattray Street Wharf this morning. She will remain there a silent and empty ship until a berth is vacant at Port Chalmers, where she will subsequently proceed to have repairs effected to No. 2 hold. The Manuka will not remain on tho idle berth for any length of time, however, as the company announces that <dio will leave Dunedin on Saturday, January 16, for Wellington direct, and will sail thence for Melbourne, thus taking up her usual running in tho intercolonial service. The whole of tho Manuka's crew has been paid off, and most of those belonging to Australia will leavo Dunedin by tho Moeraki on Friday afternoon for Melbourne. One or two of her officers have been transferred to tho Marama, which has been recommissioned at Port Chalmers for tho intercolonial service.
