v MESS TABLE GOSSIP. Lieut. A. 1 , . Wa-tclilin, R.N.R., well known in Wellington »s ui&stcr in tne Union Company's service, is at present aotins as assistant Kins's harbourmaster at a placo unnamed; Lieut. WatcMln volunteered for service in 1914, and on arrival in England joined a destroyer aa lieutenant. Later ho was transferred to a sloop as navigating first lieutenant, and afterwards served es , acting-«aptaln. In October last, owing to illness, he_was transferred to England from the East, and was put on the staff at one of the naval bases. Mr. W. Allen, fifth engineer of tho Monowai, has come ashore. Mr. H. Paul has joined the llapourika as extra, ohiof officer. Mr. J. A. Brown, third engineer of tho Komata, has como ashore, and has been replaced br Mr,. O. M'G. Darling, - Mr. S.

Tlio Kosaniond ia expected to leave Greyinoutii to-day with a cargo of coal for Onenunga, instead of-Hapjor, as was previously arranged. Tne Iβ A,nau will undergo annual survey uud overhaul at I'prt Chalmers tins week, and. will afterwards re-enter the proauco trade between southern au<l norlliorn ports. The Canopus, with tho hulk Jubilee m tow, ib expected to leave lor Auckland. Tho repairs to the fhulk have now been completed, and it is hoped to tow tho vessel to ■ tho northern port wuhout further incident. As rould bo expected with the largo nuinucr of small .vessels in port yesterday, labour was not ovor plentiful, and although all tho vessels were doing somo work it was not suffioiont to get them unloaded and reloaded. Consequently only a very few vessels managed to get away, end- most of thorn havo been lixed to leave for their respective ports to-day. At the Marine Court in Sydney last week an inquiry was held into the oaoit-o of the wreck of the steamer Ooploon, near Manning. Biver, in February ' last. The finding of the Court was' that no blamo for\tho loss of tho vessel could be attaohcd to the master, as he had been told to onter the port. The Inycrcargill left last evening for Wanganui, from "which port sho is due Hack to-morrow, and will leave again tomorrow for Wanganui. V Oathio, Dempster, and Co.. advise that the Eunice waa to have left liyttolton last night, for Wanganui. Also that the voESol will not make Iho usual call at Wellington, as it was originally intended she Bhonid. The- Kaitoa, tvhioh arrives to-day In her ordinary timetable aftor having been laid up for tho holiday, is bringing 150 tons of coment amongst other smaller oargo. This was landed at Tarakoho to which port the Kaitoa made a special trip last Thursday.

The Defender, which was to have left yesterday lor the West Coast, could, not cot away owing to it being ■ difficult to Eot a, gang to go round to worli tho vessel at Miramai , wha,rf. She should eet away to-day for Picton, Irom'whicli port she will probably sail for Hokitika, direct. Tho Oalm, which loft last evening for Waagamii, Is due hnro again to-morrow and will lcavo to-morrow for southern ports.
