WORD was received by the last
mail of rapid progress in the con
struction of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Co.'s new steamer, build
ing at Port Blakely, and the possibi
lity of her arrival here about July
10Th. 1t is further learned that Mr..
r. X. Foster will leave by the Zealan-
dia next Friday for San Francisco to
give orders for the building of another
steamer identical in model to the lost
Planter except in depth of hold,
which in the new steamer will be
greater. The Planters machinery,
rigging, blocks and fittings--in short
everything that was saved from the
wreck--will be used on the new
steamer. Her building will be COM
menced as soon as possible and she
is expected to arrive here at the end
of the year.
THE British bark Star of Devon
which arrived here recently from
Newcastle, N. S. w. with coal, and
which after discharging her cargo
was to sail for Maiden Island, to load
guano for England, has been sur
veyed. 1t appears that the crew filed
complaint with II. b. NJ. Vice
Consul T. Ii. Davies, Esq, alleging
that the vessel was sadly in need of
repairs and not seaworthy. Where
upon several officers of II. b. NJ. S.
Triumph surveyed the bark yester-
day morning, and judging from
the decayed planks and timbers, the
old rigging and sails, the repairs of
the entire vessel would necessarily
be extensive. Mr.. Davis, mate of
the Star of Devon, says the only
sound timber she has is in the masts,
and it is probable that she will be
sent to San Francisco in ballast for
repairs.
