The romance of the sea has a peculiar attractiveness, even in regard to a sale of old a lap iittings. I'hi3wwa s tho experience in regard t j Kin Bati3taetory x attendance at i a sale of disused ahip fittings, held by : Messrs Park, Reynolcia on \Y-eoncsday afternoon, at the Union Steam Ship Company's works at Port Chalmers (says the "Utugo Daily Times"). The sale took place in the upper storey of a building* used as a joinery shon, and the roomy floor was stacked with heaps of apparently every item of ship equipment, exclusive perhaps ol the proverbial needle and anchor. Old brass Jittings, contorted ir. design, with intention to combine art and utility, were sold by weight, bringing up to' s>id per lb. A "lot" of wiro mattresses fetched a figure which worked out at a, fraction over a shilling each, while other lots averaged nearer 5a apiece. Bunk boards also went in lots, soma averaging a friction under Is and others fetching nearly 2s a board. Half models of well-known old Bed Funnel liners Bold at a. moderate figure. That of the Rotomehana brought only 6s, although the scroll work at her fiddlo bow was pictured on the model in gold leaf. "We are using oil fuel now," oighed the auctioneer as he turned to the next "lot." But the sale, oh tho whole, brought more official smiles than sighs, and it was said at tho close that tho returnß woro very satisfactory. MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SHIPPING.
