Co's Kowhai, which leftWel- < lington on Thun-day, has not yet reached Napier, doubtless owing to the thick and dirty weather on the coast. The steamer cannot reach Gisborne* before Tuesday, and in view of the wilted state of the river it is doubtful whether she will be able to come up to tha wharf, in whieh case the cargo will be lightered.' ' * The Shaw, Sav 'll and Albion Co's Waiwera is expected' to leave Lyttelton at 8 o'clock this • evening for .Gisborne, and should arrive at daylight on Monday, when she commence* to load for Honte.

The Unloh S.S. fo.'s latest purchase, the Krtwlliii (stales ihe Dominion) presented rather a'pyiilinr appomuirc as she steamed up to har 'berth., at the (Jucen's Wharf, for she is quite different froin any vessel which the Union ; Company has so far acquired. Since her- nrriVnl at Dunedin extensive alterations have- bpen {tarried out with a view to fitting her., for the" Dtii-editi-East Coast-Gisporne trade. The" vessel's appearance can be best descriticd nn.unoiijMh.iiig of a hybrid between a dredge andyii. triiwler. Her stern is the stem of a dredge. ;,whltr the fore part of the ship is quite Ktifg'^tWc of pictorial .representatives of North Sea'trawlrrs. Hrr engines and funnel are sitjiutod *ft.
