She has had rathor a long passage, mainly duo to adverse winds. She was berthed at tho wharf, but aa there was rather too much range on, it was considered advisable to movo her out to tho buoy 3. The Union Company' 3 regular trader to this port, tho s.s. Waitaki, arrived about the nsnal timo yesterday morning, from Dunedin, bringing a small cargo. After taking m 800 sacks of barley, shipped by Messrs Miles, Archer and Co., she left at her advert:^-! tin?. 5 p.m. Tho New Zealand Shipping Company's clipper ship Waimate was towed to sea by the p.B. Titan at 2 a.m. yesterday, and took her departure for London direct. The work of loading this lino ve33el has been done very Bmart'y. She came up on Thursday last from Port Chalmers, m tow of the p.a. Kopntai, with 4643 sacks of wheat, shipped at Port Chalmers, on board. On Friday the Landing Servio > put on board 2700 odd sacks, on Saturday about tho same nnmbor, and on Monday about 4500, or a total of 8615 sacks of wheat and 1138 Backs of oats, m three full working day 3. There is no doubt that if it had been fine on the day she arrived m port she would at least have got away earlier than she has ; but, nevertheless, tho result is very satisfactory, and show 3 m a marked manner what our Service really can do when the grain is at hand. The stovedoring waa done by Mr F. Sooringo. We were reqnested by Captain Mo3sy to express his great satisfaction at the exceptionally smart despatch which his vessel received, and his feeling of entire safety while lying inside the Breakwater. | By.
