It seems thai now thih-thc most important, racii of Ihe reiratta.-is lo fall through, as when Ilic Janet, lias gone there will lit: only the .Suiiderhind and the I,oc left, as the StiiK was recently wrecked. Especially since tho war bns the passiriK or our wind-jam-mer Heal been evident, and diirinn the lost, two years several of the liuest sailors in Australasian waters have chiuitred hands from Auckland owners lo shipping men on the other side. TUTANEKAT IN PORT. The Government cable steamer Tutanekiii arrived iu port, at about •! p.m. yesterday, ai'd berthed ol No. % (north) (Moscow Wharf. As far as the finest for tho old cablo id concerned, no success tvas rant with. As mentioned previously in THE DOMINION, when the; cable was brought, to the, eiirfaco, oue <mi<l was somired and buoyed, but tho other end broke, and hn« not. yet, been recovered. W.hilo dragging for tho lost cable another cable was brought lo the. surface, but was sunk again. The Tulanekai tten sent a wireless messeco to Wellinuton, n.nd found tbat. tho ciblo they had picked up by necidenl, was detective, so it. was again brought to thr- surface an<l. severed, the two ends being buoyed. What is t-o be "done in connection with theso cables is to be <!i?ctased thifi morning, and a.flcr taking i/i provisions the. Tutancka.i -will probably leave again for the scene \a continue the work or repairing tho cables. WItIXK OV COOI.OOS. jMcesrs. .l,:ing)cy Bros.' coaster. Coolocui, one of Ihe best known vessels in the New flouth Wales coastal trade, lies aslmrc jM>ar the northern breakwater at the Manning River, , iu a position that it appears certain she will become a. total wreck, says an Australian paper. So far fciv particulars have... been made nva.ilfl.bln. but it appears she was itnvard bound from Sydney w.hen she was c:irriwl ashore, and almost immediately began lo iill up. Tho position being serious tho crew decided lo effect, a Inning, which to aohiovW without a. uiteh. The Cooloon is a. -wooden steamer of 239 tons gross and Ml tons net register. Sho wae built at the Manning Tiivo- in 1904. Her principal dimensions are:— Ticnei-h, 127 ft,. 4ii;.; breadth, Mft, 3in.; and depth. Bft. Bin. rt was only recently that the Katbkil (ex Arrah-ua-Pogue) went aehorc nt the. snmo place, but she was successfully refloated. INCREASED COST Ol' , SHIPS. "Hoyd.'s List Weekly Summary" of January 5 cit.es somo interesting cases, which, indicato how tho value of tonnaco has been enhanced by war couditione. The steamer Hercules was built in 1903 for £42,000. In 1904 she, was sold for i>32.250; whilo le.st year sho brought X6S.CCO, and this yoar wne sold for £250,000. In 1913 tho Askelad changed owners Tor £14,500; but has since become, apparently worth £158,500. Even sailing ships, have, increased beyond all expectations. A typical insta.nco is that of tho Vnldivia., which has no'* been deemed, to he north £22,500; although in 1912 sho could only bring £1400. COAL STOPPED PROJt NEWCASTLE.
