INTER-ISLAND SERVICE.
SLOW PASSAGES MADE. OLD VESSELS IN RUNNING. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Bad coal and unfavourable weather considerably delayed the Manuka on her run from Lyttelton last night, and she did not arrive at Wellington until 1.45 p.m.
to-day. The absence ol the Maori from the ferry service is being seriou§ly felt, as both the Mararoa and the Manuka, the two vessels tried in her place, have badly disorganised the service lately. The Mararoa was withdrawn after one week's service, and the Manuka was put on in her place. She in turn, however, is running late. She did not arrive at Lyttelton until 10.15 a.m. on Sunday, instead of the usual seven o'clock, and she was six and a-half hours late in arriving here to-day. She was late in leaving Lyttelton, however, not sailing until nine o'clock last night.
