Captain Richardson, who is now in Command of the Union S.S. Company's steamer Oban, has only just received his promotion from the post of chief officer of the steamer Tarawera to the position of master he now holds. He has been in the Company's service some six or eeven years, having come out from Home as chief of the Mararoa when she first arrived in the colony. Subsequently he was transferred to the larawera. As chief officer of bath vessels, Mr Richardson was deservedly popular with his brother officers and the travelling public, and we fuel sure all who

have had the pleasure of. his acquaintance
