Efforts this morning to re-float the barquentine .St. Kilda from her position on the South Spit proved unsuccessful. Yesterday a quantity of her hardwood cargo was lightered on to Harbour Board punts, and the lightering was continued at low tide to-day, this being the only time- she can be worked, the sea, at high water, being too strong for the punts to safely remain alongside 'the vessel. The tides are now high, and she should, with the cargo that is being removed, lift in a day or so. To-morrow general cargo is due in the Huia from Wellington. On- Thursday the Storm is expected with produce, etc., from the usual ports. The Bimu had not reached Onehunpa up to noon to-day, and it is doubtful if she can be here apain till Friday or Saturday.
