PORT OF WANGANUI
A SHIPPING RECORD.
(Pbe United Pbess Aesociattok.)
WANGANUI, January 30. An event of some importance in the history of Wanganui was" the arrival today of the Union Steam Ship Company's Kittawa, of 1246 tons, the largest steamer which has yet entered the port. The steamer arrived here "with half a cargo of coal' from New Plymouth, and drew about lift. At spring tide the steamer could have negotiated the river channel drawing a couple of feet more. The excellent condition of the river is duo to the works being carried out by the Harbour Board. There is now a depth of 25ft at the place where the bar (with a depth of lift) was a few years ago. The Government steamer Tutanekai is also a visitor to the port.
