A copy of the Sydney Commercial News and Shipping List, which came by yesterday's Sydney mall, contains the following jraragraph in reference to the steamer Pufcaklr—"The Pacific Phosphates Company has received a wireless message "from Uabnu) staling that the steamer Pnkaki had arrived safely there. The Pnkaki broke hef propeller shaft, on the 28th January in the vicinity of Kusale Island, the most easterlj of the..Caroline Group, while on a of the Caroline Islands for recruiting native lahour for the Pacific Phosphates dmiiany's works at Ocean Island and Nauru. The company has been lv regular wireless communication with the Carolines since the accideut was reported, and nil efforts were mode to pick up the disabled steamer. A thorough search of the various islands 4n the group was made by ths steamer Promise and a Japanese steamer. " Great satisfaction was expressed lnßydnej ...when .fhe news of;the safety if the Pnkaki jyas made- known."

•LAST OF THE OLD AKAWA. The Italian steamer "Porto Said," which was sunk by an Austrian submarine while . bound from Genoa' to Port Said, was owned by the Soclete Marittima ItaUana, and was built in 18S4. She was 5301 tons gross, and a steamer of many names, and will be remembered as the Arawa, as the Lake Megantlc. Auapo, as the Port Henderson, and as the Colon, of the Jamaica service of the Elder Dempeter Live. As the Arawa, this steamer was engaged In the J New Zealand-London trade for some years. J Then .she met with a mishap and was j sold. The Arawa, the one which now sails ] under the name, is at .present iv Auckland. ' An up-to-date steamer in every way, ahe ' bears the name of this famous old steamer which has met Its end in the Mediterranean. TILE OLD TE ANAU. I s^u^er.steamer, has been now trausiormed h™ t n t carso shil) - Tu e accommodation Jias been removed, ana iv place a spuciom* -batch has been installed, this making -four hatches equipped with good winches and derricks. An attempt was made to cu-t away the teak wood house on the otfter deck, out it ivas Hound that this was -built of- steel panelled inside and without of Umber. This proves thAt the best ox work was put into -the vessel by the bnllders, and she should yet see a further ■ leugrby career of usefulness. It la thought that the steamer will enter the ! Blut-Auckland. via ports, running, which, up ,011 lately, .Iras been carried, on by tho Wanaka. JAPANESE SHIPS IN THE PACIFIC. ■iCUctodlowing paragraph appears in a recent Issue ot a weu-*upwn American shipping journal:—"Perhaps the best evidence of now quickly aud effectively the La Foltet ».'-Furusetb Seameu's Bill uas driven the American hug off the Pacific Is shown by the fact that on November 23. 1014. there •were six American steamers of a total touuage of 45,315 operating ou that ocean, and 22 Japanese steamers having an aggregate uumage of 80,032. • Ou. .November 23 this yetfr, 10 days after this-obnoxious law went" into effect, there were no Aniorlean steamers engaged In the traus-Paclllc trade to the Orient, while the number under the Japanese flag has increased to 42. with an aggregate tonnage of 141.262. In addition to this, there are upward of 25 Japanese steamers bulldlug to secure complete control of the Pacific Ocean commerce. No wonder that condemnation of this measure has filled columns ot the dally Press for months before and after Its pqssose.
