SYDNEY, November 21. Arrived—Rlverina. NOTES. The ferry steamer Mararoa sailed last night shortly after 8 o'clock. In addition to cargo, mails, and passengers, she had 22 racehorses on board. The Hincmoa did not leave Wellington for Lyttelton last night, so that there will be no mail boat going north from Lvttclton tonight. The Tutanckai, according to the "New Zealand Times," is being recommissioned at Wellington in order to take up the carriage of mails and passengers on urgent missions between Wellington and Lyltelton. Captain Whiteford, Government surveyor of ships, will take command of the vessel, which will start running as soon as a crew can be procured. The schooner Lily, which had been barbound at Kaipara for some time, arrived at Lyttelton this morning, and anchored out in the stream. She has a full cargo of timber for discharge at this port. After unloading, she will take in general cargo for Kaipara again. The American four-masted barque, John Ena, 2700 tons, one of the largest of her type that has ever visited the port, arrived here some weeks ago from San Francisco With a cargo comprising 120,000 cases or oil. During the past fortnight the vessel has been lying at anchor in the stream owing to influenza amongst the crew. Dunedin is Jicr next port of call, and from there she proceeds to Sydney. The Cygnet, which is the only local coastal boat in constant active commission since the Influenza outbreak, sailed yesterday evenlag for Kaikoura. She is due to return here this evening, and will reload to-morrow for Aloiroa. The Mapourika, having been temporarily ■withdrawn from the Wellington-Picton-Nel-son service, an effort is being made by the Anchor Company to 1111 the breach in the Wellington-Nelson service with the steamer Nikau. A special permit has been granted the Nikau to carry 157 passengers, provided the trip is made during daylight. Mr Andrew William Duncan, second officer of the Union Company's collier Kakapo, died recently while the vessel was hound from Nelson to the West Coast. He was a native of Rothesay, Scotland, and joined the Union Company's service in June, 1017, as third officer of the Wanaka. On October last he was promoted as second officer, and was afterwards transferred to the Kakapo in that capacity.
