During tho afternoon tho sea went down and tho ketch Htood in again, nnd endeavour- <t to pick up her lost anchor ; in doing bo she had the m sfortune of losing her second anchor. A fresh breeze wna blowing f.t the time ; her sails were f martly sot, and she managed to get an offing ; in doing so some of her sails w^re tplit. Off Fish Keef she encountered the full force of Sunday's S.W. gale. At Kakanui she only discharged about bix tons of cargo.

A small iron paddle Bteamcr, measuring 40 feet liy 10 ft-et, has juat been rem-ived from the yard of Mr C.

THE KAKANUIHARBOUR

To t/ce Editor of the. Ot ago Daily Times,

Sin—ln to-day's iswe of tho Oamaru Timi-8, 1 sco a report of a public meeting held in Oamaru for the purpose of cona'dering tho best plan for forming a harbour, &c, in which Mr France, M.P.U., states, in tho courses of a speech made by him, that, '"as to such ]»lan« ns tho one beforo tho meeting that n-ght, they •wonid only result ia a lot of niomy being spent to no purpose, such as the Government were now doing at tho Kukanui, where ho could now hop over tho stream, and their splendid dock that was to be was now fairly Mocked up, arid likely to .■ ontinue so." To prove how little truth ' 'lore is in tho above B'at"m»nt, I need only : .y th;it I brought tho 1)< fianco, with cargo, nsi'le the Kakanui mnuth this afternoon, arid intend Joadiuf* atone f r Dunedin. I be*, Sir, you will ple.iso publish this letter, to l<it peiip'o sco how little credence can bo placed iv the many reports circulated to tho prejudici! of this p a<;e. —I am. &c, Ehwakd Kevins, Mister of the ketch Detianco. Kakanui, Kov. 20th.
