Her cargo consists of 30,000 ft of timber for Cavo Bros. The U.S.S. Co.’s Squall was to have loft Auckland last night for Gisborne, via Tologa Bay. The U.S.S. Co.’s Flora was to have loft Wellington yesterday afternoon lor Grey mouth, whore she loads coal for Napier. . . . Tho Canterbury Shipping Co. s Hippie was due to leave Napier last evening for Gisborne. , ■ Tho U.S.S. Co.’s Kaituna finished -unloading 300 tons of coal for the local gas works lato yesterday afternoon, and left during tho evening .to discharge the remainder of her cargo at Napier. The U.S.S. Co.’s Tuatea was to have gone cm the slit) yesterday morning to undergo her annual survey and overhaul, under the supervision of Mr. Birkett, superintendent of repairs for the Union Company, who arrived hero on Saturday, but owing to the slip not being ready and being badly silted up, the Tuatea had to return to the wharf. Captain Trotter, of tho Tyser liner Jndraiema, related to a Melbourne “Argus” reporter a strange experience with conflicting swells in the Southern Ocean, on route from London to Australia and New Zealand. Tho steamer passed tho Capo on August <sth, and strong gales and high following seas accompanied the vessel till the 26th. For tho next two days a remarkably heavy north-easterly and south-easterly swell was encountered, and a southeasterly under-swell, causing such a prodigious jumble that in the absence of any breeze Captain Trotter came to tiro conclusion that the disturbance was duo to a submarine eruption. While this lasted the speed of the vessel had to bo greatly reduced. Sho pitched and rolled alarmingly, whilst excessive “racing” of her engines increased tho discomfort of life on board. No wind was experienced during the strange tumult. . . c Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, president or the International Mercantile Marine Company, has decided, according to an interview appearing in one oDJNew York’s leading newspapers, to add another mast to the now steamers Olympic- and Titanic, now under construction at Belfast. He saw the Cunardci' Lusitania departing for Liverpool a few hours after his arrival m New York. Her four funnels and two masts impressed him so favorably that lie decided there and then to add a mainmast to the White Star leviathans, both of which were designed to carry only a foremast. Mr. Ismay, wo are told, is one of the few steamship men who see little use in a mast on a big passengei steamer. Tho hauling up of baggage from the hold can easily bo accomplished by a small boom, or it can be tiansferred tc the pior by an electric traveller and the carrying of a mast for appearance sake is not good business. Practically no steamers except those of the old Dominion Line come into New York with a single mast, and the similarity in design of the. Titanic and Olympic to those coastwise vessels has -dvon rise to much comment m American shipping circles. It is thought that if some means can be found to oarrv tho “wireless” on new boats, Mr Tsmav mav again chancre his nnnd. and send'over the four-funnelled monsters with no masts at all.
