Tho manner in which Captain Grant handled his vessel, the Takapuna, when she arrived at tho wharf on Friday morning, was tho themo of general praise Ho was signalled to tho innor tee, but just in front of tho berth ho was confronted with the dredge, which was working close to the end of the too. Captain Grant, nothing daunted, stoamed tho Takapuna direct to her place, and within the vessel's own length backed her up to tho wharf in a very brief space of time. Tho wharf was lined with spectators, and competent judges declared that no other vessel in tho New Zealand waters "could bo manipulated so cleverly. Captain Grant received many compliments upon his display of seamanship. Tho h.s, Takapuna will next month go into dock at Port Chalmers, and a new donkey-boiler will then bo placed on board. Tho repairs to tho Manawatu aro completed, and tho Oroti came oft' tho Patent Slip on Monday. '
