The steamer Purau again visited Sumner on Monday with another cargo ior the Sumner Borough Council. With a eou’-wester blowing there was no difficulty in making the bar. and a largo consignment of hardwood was safely discharged at the pier. Owing to the Tainui having been barbound at Wanganui on Tuesday night, and her late arrival at Wellington last night, the vessel’s departure for Lytteltop has been postponed until to-day. The coastal steamer Awahou, which, as reported in these columns yesterday, has been so’d by Levin and Co. to Richardson and Co., of Napier, will bo ready for sea on Saturday after her extensive overhaul. There is little doubt now ns to whether the vessel will go to Picton. Tho Anchor Co.’s steamer Regulus, which arrived at Wellington this morning from Picton, will not 1 receive any Nelson cargo. She is to sail this evening direct for Westport and Greymouth. t)n Tuesday night tho coastal steamers Invercargill, Huia, Tainui and Regains were bar-bound at Wanganui.

The vessel is due here to-morrow morning from. Dunedin and Lyttelton. HUN BOAT 0. J. D. AHLBR, A report from Honolulu recently stated that the German refugee merchant steamer O. J. D. Abler, which was moored in, Hilo Bay, was seized by the United States authorities immediately upon the declaration of war, just in time to prevent her escaping and possibly turning raider. The engines and boilers of the Abler were put out of commission by the crew in the early days of February, and at the same time similar action was taken by the crews of practically all refugee German vessels. But in. the case of the Abler it appears that no permanent damage was done to the machinery, it being merely choked with cement. When, immediately following the declaration of war, the authorities went aboard the Abler, they found that the cement had all been removed, and the vessel was ready to put to sea. THE HIMITANGI. The steamer Himitangi, duo at Wellington early this morning from Dunedin, is to sail this evening for Lyttelton. From tho last-mentioned port the vessel is due again at Wellington on Sunday, will discharge on Monday, and will sail probably again for Lyttelton. NGAKUTA DELATED. Only one fireman was procured yesterday at Wellington to fill the vacancies for nine, consequently the Ngakutn was pnable to sail tor Greymouth. The captain of the vessel is in the meanwhile endeavouring to secure eight more men. THE KOTARB. The Dunedin “Star” says that the Kotare’s engines and boiler are unharmed. and practically the only damage is a leak in tho starboard side, at the turn of the bilge. The Kotaro was placed -in dock at Port on Monday afternoon, and an examination of her hull is now being made by Mr A. Morrison, Lloyd’s agent, and Captain Beaumont, Government superintendent for mercantile marine. A preliminary inquiry into the circumstances concerning the mishap to the Kotare will be held in Dunedin, but the exact date has not yet been fixed. It is expected that a report as to the full extent of the damage would be available shortly. The vessel will probably resume running in the coastal trade today. and is expected to sail on that day for Bluff, Invercargill, and Riverton.
