The first vessel to rut in the New Zealand service for the Blue Star Line, the Norman Star, sailed from Balboa on Wednesday, en route, from the Tyne to New Zealand ports, according to cabled advice. The vessel should arrive in New Zealand late next moJjtli. Advice has been received by the Melanesian Mission Board that the new steamer Southern Cross Vll, recently built in England, sailed on September 17 for Tulagi, m the Solomon Islands, where it is due on November 20. Heavy weather on the coast prevented the motor vessel Iluanni entering the port of Foxton on Monday, anil she proceeded to Kapit-i Island for shelter. An announcement which was made to the effect that it was thought that the Hua nui was in difficulties was incorrect. Captain C. Thomsen went ashore at I’araparaumu on Wednesday and reported that rhe vessel would remain in shelter until the. weather moderated.

Captain Carey, master of the scow Nganau, which has lately been lying at Heathcote bridge, inside the Sunmei estuary, expresses surprise that .the people of Christchurch do not seem tc appreciate the asset that the city pos sesses in the estuary. He says there are distinct possibilities of opening up a coastal trade direct to and from Christchurch if opportunities are exploited. With an auxiliary Diesel-engined boat such as the Ngahau, the Sumner bar ifnot, in his opinion, a great obstacle and is not difficult when compared with other bar harbors.

SHIP TO SHORE ’PHONE Further information relative to a ship-to-shom telephone was before the Wanganui Ilarltor Board at its meeting last week. The ,Gisborne Harbor Board advised that it had the duplex system installed. It was just, the same as r land telephone, and a charge of £2 foi the first day and £1 5s for any subsequent days, with a minimum charge of £4 10s was made. There was no diffi culty in having the ship connected with subscribers to the local exchange, or to any part of the Dominion. The depart ment had objected at first, but when it was shown that the. installation wa> satisfactory, such objection was waived. After receiving this information the Wanganui Harbor Board decided to refer the matter to the finance committee. “It is a question of whether the hoard can afford the money in face of all the restrictions on the installation,” said the managing-secretary, Mr. W. J. Gardner.
