The imiro is to leave Bluff on Saturday >xt for London, via Las Palmas, ; The latest vessel in the Union Co.’s ■et to be equipped with the Morse stem of night signalling is the Alahiirka. The system has been in use r .about a fortnight, and consists of a urtable electric lamp, to which is atched several feet of flexible conductg wire. A powerful lens in front of e lamp intensifies the light from a .irty-two candle-power electric globe, pable of darting brilliant signals over radius of nearly ten miles. A metal (rtain, operated by level', gives the icessary interruptions in the light, be system is said to be very simple id effective in practice. There are said to be about 200 memsrs of the Seamen’s Union in Wellingn looking for ships and unable to id them. The conditions are said to j somewhat similar in other large >rts of the Dominion, arid there does >t. appear any immediate prospect of lieving the situation. Some of the irplus of sailors is attributed to the ■mpletion of the Alain Trunk line, any seafaring men who were engaged r years on this line have now to seek nployment elsewhere, and have been reed to the ports in the hope of being lie to follow their avocation. Short;e of ships has prevented them from )ing so, and they are anticipating a id time for the next two or three Untbs.—“New Zealand Times.” BY TELEGRAPH. CAPE MARIA, June S.
