The vessel was delayed by heavy weather in the .Southern Ocean. Captain W. G. Watt reported leaving New. York with a full general cargo on May 19. A fine weather run brought, the vessel to St. Vincent's where she arrived on June 2. Coal having boon bunkered the voyage was resumed tho ..same day, and strong head winds, accompanied by moderate to rough seas, beset the Strathclyde to the Cape of Good Hone, which was passed on June 23. After this date the Strathclyde went 'through some trying experiences. Battered by heavy sobb. and tremendous gales she struggled along at little more than a snail's pacn for days.- Rain and hail beat on her decks alarmingly. On tho morning of July 4 her rolling was tremendous, and just prior to noon a. Chinese cools, named Ah Jlong, was found dead in ■ his bunk. The man was suffering from 1 'wart disease, and it 1? supposed that tho hoavy plunges of tho steamer had brought about the unfortunate cook's death. ' His hody was buried at sea. ■ Eight' up to Uapo Otway the Strathclyde had fearful weather 1 to contend with, but she suffered no other damage than the loss of a few deck fit- ' tings. Her voyage occupied 66 days. She ; ,is duo at Wellington on August .15., THE LIGHTING OF PORT JACKSON. ' The Sydney Harbour Trust Coranils- ■ sioners are fully alive to the importance [ of improving the lighting of Port Jack--1 son, and a scheme, which had bnen under consideration for some time, was settled ; 'V.thpm in October of lant year. Tho ' following;course was decided upon:— ! (a) To erect at Grotto Point a fixed' light with red, white, and • green sectors, (b) To e'rect, on the high land of tho Spit ' estate, a red fixed light whioh, when I in line with the light on Grotto Point, will mark tho centre of the entrance to tho port. . :! To erect an occulting white light-on piles at the Sow and Pigs shoal, to replace tho present lightship Bramble. (<1) To place a gas buoy, with an occulting red light, about two cables due west of the Hornby light. 1 (e) To place a g.is buoy, with an 'occulting whit- !'■?'". "IT Shark's' Bay. ■ ' )To place a gas buoy, with an occulting , red iiffu, Hi ,ne wostorn channel south--1 west of <.'>■> l'ilo Light. ; ;) To 'provide a more powerful white 1 fixed light at Bradlcy's Head. . (h) To provide a more powerful light at [ Fort Donison visible all round, with a white sector..lnto Woolloomooloo Bay. 1 Tho l.tnrt for the light. to«er on Spit , Road has been purchased, and the lenses , and gas buoys were ordered in April List. '. Tho commissioners believe that the t scheme described will mako the lighting , of the port absolutely satisfactory and m)-t«-dnt«. oud will, t.hoy consider, moot all the requirements of iiractic.il navigators. They add that the scheme has been . endorsed by Vlco-Aduilrai Sir Richard ' Poorc. the Rommiindcr-in-Uhicf'of tho Aus- ■ triilian station. Altogether, 124 passengers are travelling by the Moeraki. which is due hore from \ Sydney to-morrow morning. . The Kotuku Is duo hbro from Westport t to-morrow. Tho Kaltangata returns to • Westport to-dny, and the Kurow will probably gel away tomorrow,
