During the voyage of the A'erdala from New York to Auckland, unusually good ■weather was experienced until midway in the run across the Great Southern Bight, when an exceedingly violent gale was encountered. Fortunately the boisterous weather lasted for only 24 hours, but in that time the ship was constantly swept bv huge seas, and the open decking near the bridge was torn up ami smashed. The remainder of the voyage, which occupied 83 days, was uneventful. A callwas made at Durban en route.

Continuing her voyage from St. John (•Canada) to "Wellington, the New Zealand ■Shipping Company's chartered .steamer Southern sailed from Auckland on Wednesday afternoon. When the vessel was about 200 miles from the scene of the_Titanic disaster, relates an Auckland exchange, she had a very dangerous encounter with fog and ice. floes. The vessel left Kngland on the run across the Atlantic on March 23 last, and all went well until she was in the vicinity of Cape Race. Here the Southern ran into a thick field of ice and a dense fog, Mas compelled to stop her engines, and for four days she floated about with the ice." A light breeze which then sprang up cleared the fog and enabled her to proceed. Ice was again encountered near the mouth of the St. Lawrence, but there was no fog, and the Southern steamed slowly through the field to port. When the vessel

returns to London from New Zealand ports she will be docked for examination and repairs. LIGHTHOUSE-KEEPERS' CHANGES.
