The W cotton was taken off the slip R t ■/Lyttelton, yesterday at noon, .1 . The Kant ia still at Wellington undergoiing overhauling oil the slip. “ ' f The Union Steam Ship Company advises f that the h’ateena will bo recommissioned on I Mpnday. iicxt i and will resume running in 1 the' Wei 1 ilf gton- Ke Ison passenger trade. The vessel has been laid up for some days owing ito an outbreak of influenza among the crew, J hut has-been thoroughly disinfected.' The service has meanwhile been maintained by ; the Mapourika, which will in future bo em■'ployed in .the Lyttelton-Welliugton-Kew Plymouth cargo trade.

4 -The cargo of the Wairuna, which arrived I c-t: iAuckland yesterday from Sun Francisco ■yia, Suva, includes 575, cases of bananas. ' Mr K. G. Bon has joined the Mararoa as third officer.

The John rhould finifli unloading her cargo of ooko to-day. She will load general cargo lor Wellington, for which port sho will sail 10-night. ■

They Marino Superintendent at Lyttelton has received a circular Idler from tho Marino .'Department staling that Iho Govcru- ■ inent .has received, from tho Admiralty a t cablegram stating that it has for sale fifty- ■ eight, steam trawlers, constructed in Canada, ako eighty steam drifters. / Tho- Kauri, from Melbourne, is due at Bunedin to-day with a cargo of wheat, por- ■ tion of which sho will bring to Wellington. V The Kakapo is due to-diiy irom Napier with I • load of sheep, r In the “reconditioning’' of the AVhite I Star liner, Olympic at •Belfast oil burning; | apparatus is being installed, and there are \ indications i that the tune is not far distant 1 when coal as a motive power will disappear f from tho: majority cf ocean-going vessel* '•(states’ -a; London paper). It is understood # that oil burning gear is also being intro\clnced into the Mauretania and Aqultania, (aa well as other vessels under construction for the Cunard and associated lines. The liners handed over by the Germans to British companies will also probably bo adapted. Tho great advantage of oil-driven ships, of course, is tho greater space made available ifor storage. Oil also ensures a. higher driving power per ton. The Aqnitania, for instance,; instead of consuming lOO) t.-ns of •coal a day would burn only 500 tons of oil, ■and this could be carried in tho tanks formerly ■ used for water ballast. Supply despots are. already in existence on Iho Thames lat Avomnouth, Southampton, Manchester, •Liverpool, Barrow, Hull, Sunderland, Grangemonth and Belfast.'
