tiers, measuring; each between 140 and U)0 tons (about three thousand cases).

The Kaikoura s stern lmo also carried away one bollard of ye y tough casting. The damage was done during the heaviest of the ebb tide, when a heavy sea was running.^ There will be a good deal of clou and dash work now that the. knowledge of Morse signalling is an essential tor u candidate' for a master s 'certificate, says a Wellington paper. During her recent run from New Zealand to Sydnov the steamer Ennerdale had a Morse audit-signalling apparatus fitted up by Captain F. W. Cox and his engineer, Mr.' W. Black, . , The “Lyttelton Times J relates that an absurd rumor was abroad in Lyttelton on Monday that the steamer Cornwall, which left Liverpool on June 2b for New Zealand, had been lost with all hands. An official denial was circulated, but the rumor continued to shortage of railway trucks that was complained of at Lytte ton hist month is now being experienced at Wellington. Discharging operations in connection with the union ..Company s Kaituna, and also the Waipon, wore hampered by the scarcity u trucks, and both .these steamers will be held up there a littLe'Mbnger than was expected. Marine engineers will he pleased to have read a clause in the annual report of the 'Wellington Institute of Marine Engineers, as follows: —“From what has been said hv Sir James Mills, the Institute has every reason to believe that the superannuation scheme ’for engineers of the Union Steam Ship Company will he in force in the very near future.” BY TELEGRAPH.
