The West Hixton is dus ftt Auckland abouA August fith from San Francisco, with general cargo. The West Oamargo is to leave San Fran*oisoo at the end of this mouth for Auckland. She is due there about August 126 th. This vessel has been fitted with 800 tons of space for refrigerated cargo, and in all probability ehe will load frozen cargo in New Zealand for Honolulu and Pacifio Coast ports. ' The Las Vega® is to load at San Francisco next month, and will be due in Auck- ' land early in Septomber. All the . vessels of the corporation's fleet, are to be- insulated. for carrying refrigerated oargo.

OPIHI'S TRYING EXPERIENCE. Fine qualities of seamanship were caUed for in the handling of the eteiwner OjiihL when she encountered the full force of the gale r&ging on the coast of New South Wales recently. The. steamer, which. was bound for Melbourne, loaded with. 620,000 sutoer feet cf ■timber from .New Zealand, intended to'put into Port Kembla to fill her bunkers before I coming to Melbourne, but when near Port Kembla the gale took charge of the vessel,, and' to save her from disaster Captain Donald McDonald took her to sea. Mountainous seas swept'her from stem to stun, and foo two days the captain' did not leave - the bridge. At times the steamer's stern watt almost completely out of the water, and her bowo were, often buried in the sea. , About 75,000 ft of timber, was stacked on deck, level with the railing,'but rather than jettison it strong l&ehinge were secured, nnd the" tinw ber chained down. Though the timber was freely' washed by the waves, - not one board w«a lost.' The position became mbet setiions onthe Saturday porning, when the wind shifted and the steamer was buffeted and tossed about like , a cork by tho confused ae«, which etruck.-ber. from three different directions. Water wa« -'shipped freely itf the engine-room and stokehold, the-firemen, being'drenched, but all hands stuck bnW ly to their poet until the following morning, when the steamer wus fible to proceed! .bade to Port Kaicbla. On Saturday evening' the forecastle of the steamer became swamped, and she was labouring so much that the seamen who -were quartered there had a most uncomfortable time. Before being converted into a steamer, the Opihi was a Gennon sallying ship, , known as the Lilian She wm sighted in distress off the coast of New Zealand during.', the war, and was salvaged by! one of the Union Steamship 'Company's vessels, and brought to port. Later die waa converted to a ooalhulk, but on being purchased by the Union Company, was re* converted to ; *' steamer. - Her engine* were nlvaged boot, the Canterbury Steamship Company's steamer . Opouri, whfcih ran aground on the' Greymxmth bar some time ago. - ' - ■ . -The officers of Che steamer regard, their experience in the gale as the wedst they have had on the Australian coast.

rOSEOASTLE COMPORTS. # \ NEW- QUARTERS NOT APPRECIATED. There is already evidence Uut. the mat* mous expense to which shipowners were subjected -in providing acoonunodation - for- seemen under the terms of -the Navigation Act is not appreciated by the men, , aayta the Melbourne 1 . "Argus." . In directing attention to the condition'of a ; comparatively new steamer which called at Melbournd recently, the master of ; the vessel Baid that before making > her maiden voyage the steamer had "been'fitted up'to comply with, the provisions of the ilaTOgation ' Act. The accommodation provided fa the eeaifien waa most comfortable, and quite equal to., that provided for the officers, but tlie men had not taken any pride in their new , quarters, which ' had - lost tne appearance of newness and' wete dirty and knocked about. -

"A certain pemiclot* doctrine is now evidently being preaohed in; industrial circles in Australia*' said them&s'ter, "thatwork-ing-menare justified in damaging their <mployen' property on the ground tut it work, lor other*. The men fail' to seo thai br adding to.' the costs of operating steaiaexd they*re 'lulling, the goose that lays the gol-den-egg'." The captain added that he knew of instances in which the additional venti•UtoM which.had been placed in thfe foe'ele head oi ships, to meet the requirements of the Navigation Act, had been deliberately 'blocked by' the seamen with old clothes, U the dnugnt was considered too severe.
