The work of extending the Lyttelton Ferry wharf at Wellington has been almost completed by the Wellington Harbour Board. The Union Company’s new ferry steamer Rangatlra Is so long that It became necessary to lengthen the wharf before she arrives from England on October 13, and the first pile of the wharf extension was driven on June 25. The wharf has been extended by 40ft, and the waiting shod by 20ft, so that passengers may step off the gangways of the new ship under shelter. The Harbour Board officials are satisfied with the progress made towards completion of the wharf, and state that although the Rangatlra Is a little late In her arrival because of a fire just before she was ready to sail the first time from Greenock, the wharf would have been ready for her Just the same had she arrived on her previous due date. The finishing touches will be put on the wharf before the end of the month. During the progress of the extension work the steamers engaged In the WelllngtonLyttelton ferry service have been berthed at No. 1 north Queen’s Wharf, but about the end of the month they will be again berthed at the usual ferry wharf.
