At a meeting of the Harbor Board, the Chairman said there was an Admiralty Engineer in Sydney, inspecting the details of the dock defined, and a letter had been received which suggested the propriety of getting the opinion of this Officer as to the Calliope Dock, and obtaining from the same source all information as to what the Admiralty may require. The only way of approaching such an officer was through the Government, and it was resolved that the Chairman should have the authority of the Board to put himself in communication witli the officer in question. tiYTTF.tTONj Feb; 6. Sailed—The Wanaka, for the Manukau; Go-ahead, for Wellington, Wellington, Feb. 6. The nautical enquiry into the stranding of the barque Fusilier on Turakina beach, on the 10th January, was commenced to-day. Captain Harkness gave evidence as to the vessel having gone ashore during a heavy gale. The vessel was driven into the bight by the fury of the gale, and, as there was no hope of beating her out again, he thought it beat to beach her, so as to save the lives of those on board. Previous to this, he consulted the other officers on the desirability of beaching the vessel. The enquiry is not finished, and will be continued to-morrow.
