U P- . Captain Manning, of the Mararoa, informed tlio shipping reporter of tho C'hriotchnrch Press that at 1.45 a.m. on Sunday ho passed l!w Union Company's training ship Dartford. Her position wa9 then about 15 miles to the north-east of Cape Campbell, and the wind was light south-west. Captain M'Donnld, of the Dart,ford, asked to bo reported. The Dartford left Lyttelton on the 9th inst. in ballast for Nowcastle, and has probably been prevented from getting through Cook Strait by ' the westerly and northwest winds that havo been prevalent on tho coast for the past few days. Tho Dartford was reported by the Rosamond on Tuesday afternoon six miles east-south-east of tho Brotheis light. In consequonco of the coal strike at Newcastle necessitating tlio taking of a supply of bunker coal at Wellington to last tho round trip, the Moann. coming from Melbourne, via Hobart and Bluff will arrivo at Dunediu on Monday night, a day earlier than usual.
