Tho Ruapoliu is expected to arrive in Wellington on July 29, and sails finally for London, via ports, on August 1. A DISMASTED SHIP. SIGHTED BY THE TOKOMARU. ' Tho "Sydney Morning Herald" says that according to advices received from London, tho Shaw, 1 Savill, and Albion liner Tokomaru, whilo bound from New Zealand for London reported from Teneriife that on April 22,' whon in latitude 53 S., longitude 60 W., sho signalled tho Liverpool four-masted ship Galgate, which was in a partially dismasted condition, and was putting, back to Stanley (Falkland Islands) for repairs. Captain Griffiths, of tho Galgato, signalled that all tho crew wero woll. Tho Galgato, it is stated, separated from her tug in tho Bristol Channel during a heavy galo some few months ago, whilo on passage from a Continental port to Cardiff in ballast and was driven out into tho Atlantic Ocean for soveral days without auv tidings being received of her. She eventually reached Cardiff unaided. Tho Galgato left Cardiff on February 9 for Pisngua, and when passed by the Tokomaru she would only bo auout 250 miles from Falklanda.

OTTERBURN FROM NEWCASTLE. Yesterday morning the Union Company's chartered tramp steamer Otterburn, which arrived in the Stream from Newcastle on Wednesday evening, was granted pratique and berthed. After leaving Newcastle heavy southerly weather was experienced for three days, and the latter stages of the journoy wero accompanied by rain, sleet, and hail, and moderate south winds. This voyage occupied 5 days IS h°urs, all( [ her previous trip was accomplished in 4 days 22 hours. Her cargo consists of about 8000 tons of coal, 3500 tons being for discharge at Wellington, and the remainder for Southern ports. LOSS OF TEE TUG BELMORE. Cable advice received in Sydney from Lon(loii last week states that the tug Belniore, recently purchased by Messrs. Fenwick Bros., of oyclney, has foundered while on a voyage from Glasgow to Sydney. > An Egyptian vessel has brought to Port Said Robinson, the second officer, Campbell, a seaman, and Hepburn and Oallagbaii, firemen, , solo survivors of the crew of the Bolmoref The men state that the vessel capsized in a heavy sea in dedp water. Tho survivors were fifteen hours in the water before reaching Ras Gharib, in tho Red Sea, 100 mi t? 0 ! Suez, where they wero rescued, ■the Jelmore was a steel screw vessel of 168 tons gross, and was built at South Shields in ISO- by Messrs. J. P. Renoldson and Sons, her principal dimensions- being:—Length, 106 ft.; breadth, 22ft.; and draught, lift. Gin. A HUGE DREDGER, Says the "Melbourne Index":—As the Government is considering the advisability of making the straight cut from Port Melbourne for the accommodation of the largest ocean-going steamers tho following description of an improved dredging machine being built for operation in Liverpool Harbour will be read with interest. It will bo the largestaiid most powerful ever built. . The contract provides for a vessel which can lift 10,000 tons of sand in fifty minutes, and attain a speed, if necessary, °f 10 knots. The dimensions of the dredger will be as follow:—Length, 478 ft. over all, 69ft. beam, and 30ft. 7in. in moulded depth. The dredger is now nearing completion, and when finished will have a hopper capacity of 180,000 cubic feet, which is to be filled from a uiaxi-. mum depth of 70ft. within fifty minutes, and as the total loaddisplacement will. be about' 18,000 tons, exceptional strength will be a prominent feat,ure of the hull and' jointing of the dredger, and tho shell plates will be threequarters of an inch thick. 28ft. Inns;, each weighing 21 tons, and the butts will be quadruple riveted. The dredger will have, four centrifugal pumps, each of which will be driven by an independent engine, and when driven they will together lift the great quantity of sand mentioned. Tho propelling machinery will bo of 3509 indicated horso power, aud will consist of two sets of inverted vertical direct-acting triple-expansion engines, with cylinders 22},'37, and 61, and a stroke of 45in. Thero will lie twenty-one water-tight compartments, so that ample provision will be made for the safety' of the vessel in case of an accident. GIGANTIC STEAMERS. ... THE AVHITE STAR LINE. Experience has proved that thero is no such thing 'as finality in the size of ships (says tho Molbourne "Index"). Consequently when people talk about steamers 1000 ft. long, they are speaking of something quite within tho rango of possibility; It was recently stated with some'show of'authority that the White Star Lino were about to build a monster vessel for their Atlantic trade, 1000 ft. being given as the length of the leviathan contemplated. The firm, however, deny that t'hey have at present any ambition' to build ships of such dimensions, though they have under consideration the construction of a very large vessel for their Southampton-New York service. This ship will be 810 ft. long, somewhat larger than oven the gigantic Cunarder, the Mauretania, which is just under SOOft. long. Between that length and 1000 ft. there is a considerable gap, however, and it is highly probable that several years will' elapse ere that gap is bridged, although Lord Pirrie is quite ready to produce a I.oooft. liner, if any firm will giro 'him the or&r. Messrs. Harland and Wolff, the famous Belfast firm, have indeed been preparing berths for tho construction of vessels very much biggei; than aDy that have yet beonlaunched, and certain works now proceeding in connection with tho now dock at .Southampton clearly anticipate the advont of .vessels of the size rumour attributed to the New Whito Star liner. Meanwhile it is said the Hamburg-American Line have planned to produce a vessel which will put the Maurctama completely in the shado as, regards both sizo and speed, but tho present state of tho Atlantic passenger traffic suggests that .tho company will not. be in a hurry to place tho order for this' ship? " ' | -

• To-morrow tho Westport Coal Company's col. lior Canopus is expected to como out of Lyttelton dock after being cleaned and painted.

Mr. M'Lood has joined the Union Company's ship Darlford as chief officer, in placo of Mr. W. Hemler, and Captain Cooper retains command.

'.'■■■ Tho -Union Company's steamer Eawea was expected to leave 1 Groymouth yestorday for -Melbourne and Adelaide. The Kaitanga'ta leaves Westport this evening for Auckland. Yesterday the Maoriland Shipping Company's steamer Ennerdale left Wellington for Auckland, where on completing discharge she proceeds to Kaipara to load timber for Melbourno.

Yesterday the Union Company's ship Dartford loft Lyttelton for Ponto, near Kaipara, where she loads timber for Australia. She is expected to load coal at Newcastle for Lyttelton on discharging tho timber, i While at - tho Bluff the New-Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Papanui loaded 21,000 carcasses of frozen meat, 2000 crates of rabbits, and a quantity of wool and. flax. The vessel called at Timaru to ship about.so,ooo carcasses of mutton, 1700 bales of wool, and 300 casks of tallow and pelts. It is -expected that the Maoriland Shipping Company's steamer Torgauten will arrive at Lyttelton on Monday, to go on the Patent Slip in connection with her annual overhaul. ■ The ketch Lizzio Taylor arrived in port from Timaru yesterday afternoon. Sho has a cargo of produce for discharge here. At nine o'clock yesterday morning tho Union Company's steamer Mapourika, which left Wellington on Tuesday,- arrived in Greymouth. Sho was fixed to commence the return journey at 10 o'clock last night. Calls will bo made at Westport and Nelson by the Mapourika, which is expected to reach Wellington to-mor-row. 1

In the Mokoia's running tho Union Company's steamer Talune arrived from Dunedin and Lyttelton . yesterday morning. She left last night for jJapier.'Gisborne, and Auckland, whoro on arrival she tranships to tho Moana, which, instead of coming through to Wellington, returns to Sydney in place of the Mokoia. On arrival of the Talune at Auckland, Captain J. Jordaii and his threo deck officers will transfer to the Navua 'or the Islands service.
