One bv one th 2 splendid old sailing ships which at one time ran regii.;irly under (he red ensign between this country and Australia are passing on the Hgister, savs the London "Miippmg Gazette." On March 7, from th 3 Old Head of Kinsnlc came the news that Me British steamer Hengorc Head had. -luring her voyage from St. John, N.P... io Dublin, rescued the crew of the Norwegian sailing ship Iliawarra, which had been abandoned in the North Atlantic '-.'■* Iliawarra at the time of her loss was on a vcvage from Loith to Vaiparv so. naving sailed from the Scottish port on February 12. . It is about thirty years agi that In..* old iron 1600-ton ship was sent n_liat fr-'in the Clyde-side yard of Meis.-s. Unhia and Co.. and during the creator part of t.nit period she was a, London-owned vessel, trading regularly to the Antipotes. Sno made her voyages under the house-flag of Mcs«rs. Devitt and Moore, who employed her and the famous old Macquane as training ships for midshipmen. ll'e Mcquario was sold to the Norwegians i- -fes, when she was thirty y<s is old, and a couple of ysars or so hit the london firm disposed of the IH&wa'-a, ftiso to Norwegians. The Macquane, pi- bably one of the stoutest built moUil ■.Irps ev> r constructed, is, we believe, still doing useful servic3 in Australian waters «a a coal hulk. Many officers now serving in the merchant service, and who pained their enrlv sea training on board the Iliawarra, will'learn with regret that the oid packet has at last met her fate.

The Navua, is to get away from Wsstport to-day with a lull load of coal for Wellington. She is due hero to-morrow. At 5 o'clock next Monday, the Haupiri is to leav3 Auckland for Wellington, via East Coast ports. The vessel is due hero on May 12. The Union coilier Koromiko, now in Melbourne, is to leave that port to-day for Sydney and Newcastle. The Anglo-Bolivian left Sydney on Thursday night, for Wellington, via Auckland. The vessel is due here on May 14. Tho Komata bft Wellington yesterday afternoon for Wcstport, and will return on Wednesday next with coal for Wellington. The Eakanoa is to leave here on Tuesday next, probably for Wcstport. The Anchor Shipping Company's steamer Nikau, which has B3cn undergoing her annual overhaul at Nelson, resumes running on Tuesday next. Mr. A. Pyperhas joined the Komata as second officer, in place of Mr. J. Cameron. .. Mr. M'Lellan has left the Tarawcra. and i>!r. A. Itced has boen engaged in his stead. Mr. A. Wavios, second officer of tho Moeraki. signed off the vessel at Wellington yesterday, and Mr. V. 0. Webb illled the vacancy. Mr. J. Boyd has signed on the Abxander as first mate. The local agents for the Kia Ora advise that the vessel will sail for Loudon direct on Monday. Tho coastal steamer Queen uf the South went up uu the Evan; Bay Slip ysswruay [ morning. The Karamea !s to leave port this afternoon for Lyttelton. The Himutaka arrives on Sunday from Lyttelton for coal. After coaling the ve-k-I leaves for Wniwr.i. .Napier, 'lokoinaru, und AueUlaiul for llumewanl loading. Th 3 Avahiira reinrneil from I'ieton la>t evening, and will resume her tibial running to-dav ot noon, leaving for 1 icton, Xi'l-.ou, and West Coast pons.

I haa been in port for nearly a fortnight, haa been delayed bv wet weather, and aiso by shortage of trucks, and it was finally arranged to semi her on to 'fiinani to land her cargo for that port, over-carry-ing some of her Lyttelton eavgo. At the Maori Ironworks, Uuncdin, may be seen mo-it of the parts of the engines So bis fitted in tlio new tug for the Harbour Hoard. Most of th-j he'ivy purls are already finished, . including >ht thrust shaft.--. connecting ruds, bed olntes, and heavy easting. The whole of the engine work (says the "Otago Daily Times") is now well .in hand, and the linn will lose no time in starling upon the hull construction when tils plates arrive from England. Close, upon 200 toini of plat'-'S will be required for the new vessel, and the arrival of the material is expected shortly. Meanwhile a huge hydraulic riveting michins is being nlaced in position beneatit an iron gantry. The magnitude of the task may be (ranged bv the fact that the riveting machine weighs übout 23 tons, and is being placed on concrete foundations resting upon solid rock. During her cruise round the West Ooiist, the Government training ship Amokura made a edit at Milford Sound. The wreck of the Waikarc is still visible, a portion of the vessel'from the bow to the bridgs being out of the water. The ship is lying on her side, and the decks are Quite perpendicular.

Tho local wireless station has received adric« from the Maheno, now en route from Sydney to Auckland, stating that the vessel will probably arrive at Auckland at 3 p.m. to-morrow. NEW ZEALAND NAUTICAL TABLES. APPBECIATION OP ANTARCTIC EXPLORERS. The New Zealand nautical tobies which are published by the Marine Department, and which have repeatedly received tho praise of mariners, were used and appreciated by Captain Scott's officers in the Antarctic expedition. Writing to Captain Biackburna, Nautical Adviser, Lieut. Evans, Ji.N., who commanded the Terra Nova from England to tho Antarctic, when he left the ship and joined Captain Scott 3 exploring expedition, says:—"l shall endeavour to briug your tables into more general use in the Navy, as I consider them 'faciie princeps' of their kind. I think you will bo pleased to hear than on the southern journey I used your tables exciusivsly, and worked out all magnetic, variations and true bearings by means 0. them up to latitude 85deg. 8., and thence to 88deg„ almost by exterpolation.'
