The Delphic, Gothic, Star of Victoria, Botomahana, Taluno, Wainui, Takapuna, Ohau, barque Alice, besides numerous small fry, were all bushy engaged in loading and unloading.

The Union Steam Ship Company, recognising the considerable growth in the passenger traffic to ana from Gisborne, has recently taken steps to improve the tender service at the port by sending the Waibi to replace the Snatk, which has done duty for many years. To-day afforded a fair teat of the Walhi's suitability for the purpose. When the Mararoa arrived in the evening there was a heavy sea in the bay, but the passengers were transhipped and landed within one hour o! the steamer’s arrival, at a considerable saving of discomfort and inconvenience on the old boat service.
