A Press Association message from Christchurch states that tho New Zealand Shipping Company received a cable from London yesterday re tho Wnakatanc, that about 600 tons of cargo is damaged and unfit for reehipment. The balance of the cargo is being forwarded by the Waimato, sailing on July 21st. The Union Company advise that the Wanaka has been placed in the produce trade from the Bluff, Oamaru and Timain and the Wairuna withdrawn. The loading dates npw are:—Bluff, to-mor-row; Oamaru. tho 19tb; and Timaru, tbe 20th.T’ he ports of discharge will be Napier, Gisborne and Auckland. The Shaw Savill and Albion steamer lonic, which left Wellington yesterday tor London, is fixed to sail from .Wellington on tbe next Homeward trip on December 2nd. The Maoriland Company’s steamer Ennerdale is to leave Greymouth this morning for Lyttelton and Dunedm. At 6.30 o’clock this morning the Government steamer Hinemoa will leave Wellington for Capo Campbell and Brothers lighthouses, and the Marlborough Sounds. The Union Company’s collier Kaituna is to leave Westport to-morrow for Wellington. The Kamoua was to have left Westport late last night , for Wellington and Lyttelton. Mr McLean has joined the Kini as second officer, in place of Mr Cole, who has gone to Dunedin for orders. The Mahena was floated out of the new Port Chalmers dock on Monday morning, and moored at George street pier, where she will remain for repairs aud overhaul during tho slack season. Tho Blackball Coal Company’s collier Petone will probably go on the patent slip to-day, to have her new tail shaft and propeller fitted. She will bo relaunched about Monday. The Union Company’s coal- hulk, C. Tobias, is to be relaunched from the patent slip this morning after a general overhaul. The Kaiapoi Shipping and Trading Company's new twin-screw steamer Kairiki, bound from the Giyde to Lyttelton, left Singapore on Jane 28th for Newcastle, where she will probably fill up with coal for this port. The vessel is due at Lyttelton about tho last week in this month. Th'e coastal steamer Waihi, which is to leave Wellington to-morrow, will make an intermediate trip from Pupouga to Picton with a cargo of coal. A Morse hand-signalling lamp has been supplied lo Uio signal station at .Deacon nan, ofeatouu, wmeh at some future time may be used for transmuting a message to, gr asking questions uroui, vessels ok the Wellington entrance, ! '

A Wanganui exchange says the scow Echo, wuicn was at Patea tu.s week, was the first sailing vessel to visit that port in the lust tweuty-nve years.

Lapiam ivoss, 01 tbe oquali, arrived on Wedueauay by the victoria from Auckland, to take charge ot the Tuatea during tne former's absence. Captain Bentun takes command of the Squall. The Tyser Company's Nerehana arrived at Gisborne from iNapier on vVeduesday morning to start loaning operations. Delay was caused tnat morning owing to the barges, which had been loaded in readiness to be towed out on the steamer's arrival, being stuck in the mud opposite the Turanganui Hotel. The Tuna (says the “Herald") nJade unsuccessful efforts to get them off, there only being about 2ft of water, and in consequence they were not freed until 9.30 a.m., which caused much inconvenience and delay.

WAXKURE DUB ON TUESDAY. A NEW TURRET DECK- BOAT. The German cargo steamer Walkure. with a cargo of case oil from New York, is now not expected to arrive at Wellington before Tuesday, or even Wednesday next. The vessel left. Banbury on the 7th instant, and it is anticipated that she will occupy thirteen or fourteen da vs on the passage from that port. The Walkuro is a new turret deck steamer of 3932 tons gross and 24 <5 tons net, built in 1907 by_\V. Doxford and Sons, Sunderland. Hfer principal dimensions are ■—Length 350 ft Sin, beam 49ft lin, depth 24ft. The owners aro Rhed. A. G. Oceana, Hamburg. THE NEW STEAMER KUROW. , The Union Company's new collier Kurow is duo at Wellington this morning from Westport on her maiden voyage from England. The Kurow, which is under command of Captain G. Hu tellings, is a two-masted steamer of 2345 tons gross. She is fitted .with special gear for the smart discharge of coal. The Kurow was built by Messrs W. poxford and Sons, Sunderland. The new boat is to leave Wellington on Monday for Westport. THE MAPOURXKA FROM WEST COAST. The Union, Company’s steamer Alapourika arrived at Greymouth at 8 o clock yesterday morning from Wellington via porta. She. was to have sailed on the return trip at 8 o’clock last night, and is timed to leave Nelson at 6.30 o clock to-morrow morning, which would bring the vessel to Wellington at about 3.30 p.m. to-morrow. THE WAIKAEE RESUMES. The local office of the Union Company advises that the Waikare, which is at present laid up at Port Chalmers, is to re-enter the Dunedin to Auckland via ports service, sailing from Dunedin on August 10th in place of tho Talune. The latter vessel replaces the Hauroto, sailing from Auckland on August 3rd for Rarotonga and Tahiti. The Hauroto proceeds to Dunedin to lay up, , \ ANOTHER CHARTER. Tho Sydney "Shipping Index” reports that tho steamer Gretavale, 3124 tons, lias been chartered to load general cargo at Australian and New Zealand ports for United Kingdom or Continent. The Gretavale is owned by tho Gretavale S.S. Co., Glasgow, and is classed 100A1 at Lloyds’. MAMARI CALLS FOR COAL. The Shaw, Savill and Albion steamer Mamari arrived in the stream yesterday morning from Picton and dropped anchor in order to replenish bunkers, which is tho solo object of her visit. She is to leave here to-morrow afternoon for Gisborno and Auckland, and is to sail from tho latter port about the 31st instant for London. NEREHANA DUB TO-DAY. The Tyser liner Nerehana, from London via ports, left Gisborne yesterday morning for Wellington, where she is duo this morning. The vessel will berth at No. 16, Jervois quay, and after Mischarging will move to-morrow afternoon to the Glasgow wharf for Homeward loading. The Nerehana is to leave Wellington on Tuesday for Southern ports to continue loading for London. CAULKING THE TAVIUNI. Word has been received from Westport that the Taviuni’s stern has been raised about 10ft, and caulking in that part of the vessel is now proceeding. Mr J. Daniel, the Union Company’s superintendent of repairs, proceeds to Dunedin to consult with tho management as to whether the necessary repairs to the steamer will be made before launching, or whether she will be towed to Wellington or Dunedin. The weight of the Taviuni is estimated at 1700 tons, and therefore tho work done to shift her will to some extent bo. realised. A BARQUE IN DANGER. The barque Durban was towed up to Dunedin on Monday morning (says the "Otago Daily Times”) and berthed at Jetty street wharf, where she will discharge 850 tons of guano. ' She arrived at Surprise Island (net Seychelles, as previously reported) on May 18th, and shortly after coming to anchor heavy gales from tho southward caused her to drag her anchors, and she got amongst the reefs. On tho following day the wind changed right round to north-west and west, and it was only after considerable difficulty that the Durban was worked out to safer quarters. As it was, the vessel bumped on a reef slightly, but no damage resulted, so far as could be ascertained by an internal survey of tho ship; but she will probably be docked after discharge for further examination. Captain Pedersen reports that he left Surprise Island on June 2Xst, and had a fine weather passage of 19 days to Taiaroa heads. When the Durban left Surprise Island the barque Sirius was taking the berth to load for Bluff, and after discharge here the Durban returns to tho island to load for Bluff also.
