SHIPPING

PORT OF BLUFf*. There were no shipping movements at this port yesterday. The local office of the Shaw-Savill Line reports that the liner Waiwera is due at Hobart at any time now from Capetown with the salved portion of the Kangatira’s cargo. From Hobart the AVaiwera goes on to Auckland, and then to Wellington, arriving at the latter port about the 4th August. In continuation of her journey from Liverpool the liner Durham was to leave Sydney on Saturday for Auckland, where she will arrive next 1 riday. The Durham will reach Wellington about the 3rd August. The local office of the A. and announces that the steamer Bonnah left New York on the 37tu June for Wellington, via Panama, and is due at Wellington about the 4tli of next month. She will subsequently go on to Auckland and Australian ports. The Boonah was formerly a German steamer, but now belongs to the Australian Transport service. From Liverpool, via Australian ports, the Federal itnd Shire Line’s steamer Durham is expected to reach Auckland in time to commence discharge to-day. After calling at Wellington she will come on to Lyttelton, where she is due about August 2nd. Discharge will be completed -at Dunedin, after which Homeward loading will be undertaken. The. famous old barque Antiopo has (says a northern paper) been chartered to load a cargo of wheat at Timaru for South America. The vessel Is at present loading general cargo at Melbourne for Hobart, from which port she proceeds to Port Esperance to load hardwood for Dunedin. Australian tiles to hand state that the vessel has been taken up for South American loading, but it is more than likely that she will load for South Africa. The Shaw, Savill and Albion Company has advised the New Zealand Times that the Matatua, which was damaged by lire and explosion, and was subsequently submerged at St,-John, Canada, has gone from that port to England to have her Insulation renewed. As it is not expedient to have this class of work done abroad or in New Zealand, and as the vessel would not be able to curry frozen meat Home until her insulation was replaced, it was obviously inadvisable to send her on her intended trip to New Zealand until the work had been carried out. Insulated space is badly needed from New Zealand, and as soon as the Matatua has been refitted she will come out here. At present, any available cargo at St. John will be forwarded at an early date.
