S'ich is the present aceomnio'bition i'or n (■', ;ncc of to Melbourne from t lie F-'outiiland, Ports. It i? indeed time that we had a r-»ulni- steamer trading between Melbourne and Southland; wo can nowonly depend on tho Alhainbra. Al'lin^a and City of Ilobart. I cannot, think that it is" the wish of the owners of theso steamers that tho Bluff should be passed by m this manner. Are the masters frightened of the Bluff? If the Alhnmbra, Aldin^a or City of Ilohart can call m m all weather, why n t the others? The time is drawing near when ;-. will be a cause of regret to the owners of pf comers that they have not done more for Southland m the way oi encouraging and lowering a passenger trade. In conclusion, I. would mention a significant fact, namely, that the whole of the steamers trading between Melbourne and Otago, can find their wny to the Bluff, aye, and m bad weather, when iv want of shelter, or fuel, or to overhaul. The Airedale has not yet been sighted, Monday Oth, 9 a.m.
