Departed on the Aorangi.
The Aorangi was delayed in leaving
for Vancouver last night until after
one o'clock this morning. She had
considerable freight to discharge and
some coal TO take on. Among the local
people leaving were Judge Stanley,
who win spend some time in Canada,
and possibly in England; J. Oswald
Lutted, the "tabasco man, who goes
away for three months; Mrs. Clara
Schmidt, who will spend some time in
Vancouver with her brother; c. Rel
| necke, who has been an assistant at
the receiving experiment station at Ka-
| lihi, and Mrs. Lorant, wife of the cap
| tain If the French bark La Blanche,
| and child.
l. Coal for e. NJ Boats.
The strike of coal handlers in Sgd
ney and other Australian cities is re-
ported by officers of the Aorangi to be
| of such proportions that there is fear
| of the entire steamer business being
| tied up. The Aorangi got away from
| Sydney in time to miss the strike and
had to get the bulk Of its bunker coal
at Suva. The Moana of the Canadian
| Australian line, which is the next YES
| sci to leave Sydney for Honolulu may
not be able to get away on time. She
| is due here ON January 5. The effort
| TO get the fremen of the Aorangi to
| join the strikers may spread to the
| Moana. Without firemen the vessel will
naturally be unable to leave Sydney.
While the strike is on the company may
| have no one to handle the coal for the
| bunkers, even though coal supplies are
taken there from Japan.
| It is rumored among passengers on
| the Aorangi that golfers may carry coal
| from Japan so that the bunkers may be
| filled there for the remainder of the
voyage to Sydney and back there. In
the ease of the Moana which may not
! Lave had a supply of coal on board she
may not have enough to steam as far
as Suva.
Wireless in Australia.
With the Makura equipped with a
wireless plant it is believed that the
Australian and New Zealand govern
ments will soon take up the matter of
establishing stations at advantageous
points along their coasts. The Sydney
| Herald of November says:
/ With reference 30 the establishment
of wireless telegraphy stations in Au-
stralia, the prime minister made the fol-
| lowing brief statement at the conclu-
sion of today's cabinet meeting: "Con-
| sideration was given to the eonsfruc-
ton of wireless telegraphy stations
and further developments in this con
nection, possibly with New Zealand and
possibly with Papua. Further inquiry
into the best means of undertaking the
Australian part of the work is about
to be initiated
