ON THE WHARVES

WORK FOR ALL HANDS BIG SHIPS TO MOVE OUT TO-DAY. The Queen’s wharf did not have such a congested appearance yesterday as was the case on the previous day. Tho Corinthic, at the outer berth, is to sail to-morrow for Lyttelton with remainder of cargo. The Mimiro, at the inner tee, will probably sail this afternoon for Lyttelton and Dunedin to complete discharge. The Nerehana, discharging at the Glasgow wharf, is to sail to-day for Gisborne and Napier to continue loading. Tho Marere, unloading at J envois quay, is to sail to-day for -Lyttelton. The New Zealand Shipping Company’s liner Op aw a berthed at the Glasgow wharf for completion of Homeward loading in the afternoon. She will probably sail on Saturday for London. Incidents of note were not numerous along the waterfront yesterday. The big liner Araiwa, with 400 immigrants from London, arrived in the stream early in the morning, and berthed at 10.40 a.m. at the King’s wharf. COLLIERS BUSY. The Kampna, with 1900 tons of Newcastle coal, was being discharged at tho Railway wharf into trucks by three gongs of men. The Wairuna, at the same wharf, is expected to complete discharge or hex* 4000 tons of coal, for tho city to-day, and will then proceed to Miramar to unload 1400 tons for the gasworks. The Poherua, from Qreymouth, was being discharged, also at the Railway wharf, by one gang. The Wairuna is to proceed to Fiji shortly to load fruit for Auckland and Wellington in place of the Navua. TRANSHIPMENTS. The Pukaki, with a”full load of transhipments from London, sailed at 10.20 o'clock last night for Napier, Gisborne, and Auckland. Rain has hampered the loading of transhipments by tho Kaiapoj at vVellington. The vessel is to sail to-mor-row for Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, and Bluff. The Maoriland Company’s steamer Ennerdalo registered smart work in discharging sugar from Auckland at the Wool jetty yesterday. Rain stepped work in the afternoon. Quantities of sugar were taken away on lorries, and were also stacked in the shed. The vessel is expected to get away from Wellington to-morrow for Timaru, with remainder of cargo of sugar. Foxtou is still practically a “sealed port.” but it is probable that a vessel will be despatched thither shortly. The Maoriland Company s steamer Holmdale was loading produce at Timaru yesterday for Hokitika. The coastal steamer Moa is to sign on a crew to-day. The Oorinna, due at Wellington today from southern ports, is to sail tomorrow for Pioton, New Plymouth, and Onehunga.
