Oamaru is unworkable. 'J'ho collier Pukalci from Timaru arrived in the roadstead at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, but owing to the high sea running, could not get in, and was ordered on to Dunedin. The s.s. Wanaka was also detained at the southern port. Tljjo seas wore breaking over the breakwater, and it was too risky to send the Wanaka out, as she Jfas drawing too much water. She left on Thursday for Bluff, and is due kere early on Monday. LAUDERDALE BREAKS UP. Per Press Association. GRKYAJOUTH, July 1.

Captains Conllor, Hales 'anil Wicks, representing the owners of the cargo, Captains Mess (Lloyds), and Lynch, the owners, inspected her early morning. .THE LNDRADJCVI'S CARGO. i DUNEDIN. July T. To-morrow morning at 11 o'clock a meeting of members of the Chamber of Commerce and of consignees of cargo by the Indradcvi (recently ,on fire at Auckland) will bo held to protect against tho action of the Government shipping surveyors in Auckland in declining to allow the Indradcvi to proceed to southern ports to discharge cargo before She has been docked ...in Auckland and completely repaired. Tliis. is a matter of some five or six weeks and consignees point out that tlio underwriters' surveyor and ship's officers reported some days ago that the steamer could proceed south as 0<)on as temporary repairs were effected. A letter from the surveyor said that it would only takfe two or three days to make absolutely necessary re-' pairs and in liis opinion it would be more satisfactory to leave the more on loss damaged southern cargo on board than to incur the heavy expense of transhipping. Tho damaged cargo, 1 it is contended, is undergoing deterio-1 ration in Auckland, and the consignees are being put to inconvenience and loss. As consignees in Christchurch and "Wellington are in the same position the Dunedin merchants propose tho,t .united action bo taken to make formal protest to the Minister of Marine with a view to the vessel proceeding south as soon as temporary repairs are effected.
