Captain Doorley, who took over the command of the Monowai last night, was master of the Union Company's training ship Aparima when she was torpedoed in the linglish Channel, and only arrived In New Zealand recently. The Kowhai sailed from Wcstport last evening for Lyttelton with a load of coal. There was a great rush of passengers on board the ferry steamer Maori last night, and the ship's ofheers and Customs officials had a very strenuous time in coping with the rush. The Maori carried her full complement of passengers, which amounted to over 700. ■The Union Company advise that the Kamona has been held up at Auckland, and will not leave that port until to-morrow. The Te Anau left Dunedin on Wednesday for Bluff, where she will load for Napier and Auckland. The Union Company's hulk Dartford, which is being refitted for sea, was docked at Port Chalmers on Wednesday morning for repainting. The coastal steamer Defender, which is In dock, is undergoing several alterations, and should come out a better and a smarter ship. The Defender, which has a very wide beam and a small draught, was at one time used in the timber industry on the rivers in New South Wales. She is registered in Sydney, but has been on the coast here for a number of years. The Orepuki, which arrived this morning from Gerymouth with the boilers and other gear of the wrecked Opouri, will go alongside the Lilla to-morrow morning for the purpose of transhipping the boilers.
