A Melbourno exchange reports that tho White Star liner Cevic, which • arrived there on August 6, bound from Liverpool for New Zealand- as well as Australian ports, was laden with 10,000 tons of cargo, and was drawing 2Gffc. > Dili, ' of water. Whereupon it was . recognised that there would be a difficulty in getting her up the river until this excessivo draught was' reduced. As the .vessel travelled

over 11,000 miles without stopping at any port to replenish bunkers, sho consumed a largo quantity of fuel, otherwise her draught upon arrival would, no doubt, have been 3ft. or 4ft. greater than it is. Like all the vessels of the White Star Line, the Cevie is equipped with twin-screws, and she is ou her first visit to Australasia. Her length is 500 ft., about 25ft. longer than tho longest steamer that has ever been taken up tho river. Her voyage occupied 4G days, and was made in fine weather throughout. The Cevic was built fourteen years ago, and carries no passengers. She is a remarkably handsome looking ship, and steams at the rate of 14 knots an hour when required. Captain C. E. Starck, who has charge, was formerly in Mejbourne 15 years ago as an officer of the old Blue Anchor liner Bungaree.

The barque has been bought by the German-Australian Company, and will, it is understood, be used as a coal hulk in l Adelaide. She is an iron vessel of 1258 tons, and was built in Glasgow thirty years ago; • The competition .among ship. repairers at Hcjlnb.ldfi H'te the prices quoted beihg lcssthan'ciistr the' only hope of anW-pjfAfifcufUoingmiitli tiMubxtHfllti'that might be requited. Tenders wpre asked for the passing of a London-owned' steamer through her survey, iand it was expected that a-Continen-tal firm would secure the,,order. When the tenders ' were• opened, however! it was-found that the Continental firms asked froni .£6OO to .£llOO for the job, but a Tyne firm received the order for i£sGl. The work of repairing and fitting out tho hulk Blackwall is being pushed on as quickly as possible, and should do completed within i'the next few days, says the Christchurch "Press." ' It is expected that the hulk will .leave Lyttelton for Wellington .on 'August. 21,. in tow of the Blackball Company's collier Petone, and, given-fine weather, ■ the passage up should be covered in about 30 hours. In accordance - with the ' requirements of' the Marine Department, the' Blackwall will be jury-rigged, "and will carry fore and aft' canvas. She .will also carry a month's provisions, and all the necessary " life-saving appliances, in case of emergencies. Her crew:will consist of,a-master and oight able seamen, for whom accommodation will be made in' the house which has been erected on;tho after deck.
