Aotea has taken in a quantity of wool and tallow at the Georgo street pier. She was expected to be all clear of lier' ifiward Dunedin cargo yesterday evening, aiid will leave' for Lyttelton this niornirig'. The barque Luna, left Liverpool on Febrit- j . arv 18 for Dunedin and Wellington. The barque Wanlcck, Captain Griffiths, has madi» a remarkably smart passage of 67 tlayS from Wellington to London. But the passage is not a record one from-New Zealand, as in 1878 the New Zealand Shipping Company's ship Otaki. Captain Devitt. left-Pott. Chalmers, and Shaw. Savill, and Albion Company's ship Crusader left Lyttelton, and both entered tin* London docks after passages of 66 days. In the old days, when probably the fastest clippers ever launched were carrying the mails Irom Liverpool to Melbourne, a passage of from 64 to 70 days was looked upon as very fine indeed. The new White Star liner lonic is one of the largest steamers trading south of the Line, and is of 12,234 tons register. Her ; dimensions ore:—Length 520 ft, beam 63ft, and' depth 45ft. She is fitted with quadruple expansion engines of 4400 horse-power. There is accommodation for about 400 passengers, and cargo capacity of about 18.000 tons. The e.s. Queen Mary is hourly expected to arrive at Port- Chalmers, from New York, which port she left on January 3, and is now 61 days out. The s.s. Surrey is expected to reach Port Chalmers about Monday next to load for South Africa. The barque ICirkloeh, well known here, has been recently sold in London to Messrs H. Clarkson and Son, as agents, for an Italian firm, for £3300. The itirkloch is an iron veseel of 755 tons register, and was built by Messrs W. Doxford and Sons at Sunderland in 1876. The s.s: Duckenfiold, from Newcastle, New.South Wales, arrived at Port Chalmers and brought up in Koputai Bay at 4.20 p.m. yesterday, where she was boarded by the health officer, and afterwards admitted to pratique. The Duckenfield is a twin-screw steel steamer, schooner rigged, and is of the following dimensions:—Length, 220 ft; beam, 31ft; and depth, 13ft lin. She is fitted with quadruple expansion engines, the diameter of the respective cylinders being 13in, 18m. ,25in, and 36in, with a length of stroke of 29 inches. She left Newcastle at 4 p.m. of tho 27th ult., -had north-east winds with fine weather during tho passage. across, and breasted the Solanders at- 5 p.m. of the 3rd inst.; passed the Nuggets at 8 a.m. yesterday, had fine weather with light winds along the coast, entered Ofago Heads at 3;30. p.m. yesterday, and oame up the harbour as above. AN ATTEMPT TO BOYCOTT. The Uiiion S.S. Company's Manapouri is timed to leave Port Chalmers this afternoon for Fiji, .via Auckland, to take up her running on that station, after having undergone ner periodical overhaul. For this purpose it was. necessary to ship a crew, and yesterday afternoon Captain D. M'Lean' attended at the shipping office, Port Chalmers, for tlie purpose of placing the men on tho articles of agreement. These were read over to the men liy tho shipping master, when one of the firemen stepped out and pointed out. that the man who was appointed chief cook was distasteful to him, and declared that if the man was kept in the ship he would decline to " sign on." Ho then made a few general complaints, but acknowledged that i ho complaint had been made to Captain M'Lean, the master. The firemen and seamen then left the shipping office in a body. Shortly afterwards tlio seamen very sensibly relumed and signed the articles of agreement. The firemen, however, held out, and declined to do eo. This looks remarkably like a caso of boycotting the cook, who liac been six months in the vessel and is a man of i>ood character nnd capabilities. Captain M'Lean having no fault to find with , him. It is usual for shipowners to appoint every person to their different position or delegate that power to responsible persons, but in this case it-seems the firemen consider they alone have a right to appoint the ship's "cook. It is honed that a little consideration, will cause tho men- to think better of their action and sign on the articles to-day.
