A suggestion for imtiroYinE the sea. journey between (iisbornc unci Napier liiis been put forward by a Gisborue rcsidcut. The idea iB the oDenins: up uf ;t channel throuch the isthmus at Mahia. Discussing the subject with fishermen Trom that locality, he was informed that tbe lagoon that opens in the low sandy stretch that connects Mali in with tin; mainland extends to within nine chains of the sea on the Hawke's Buy side, and that it would only require a comparatively small amount of dredging to opeu np a navieable channel for the smaller class of vessels. A canal Ihrouirh this iap it in no in toil out, would obviate the nassairc, round Portland Island at the extreme southern point of the peninsula, cHectine a savins of 26 miles in the journey to Napier. The Rosamond will sail to-nisht. from Wansanui for Greymouth, where she will load timber for Wellington. The Kaino, with a of coal and 50,000 ft. of timber, arrived yesterday from Grr.ynionth.

The barque Fnrsnnd, which went\ashore on Vansittart Island, Bass Strait, some four or five years nKC, and has been bine there on a sandy bottom ever since, has been purchased by a mainland syndicate who. in view of the increasing viltc of flhippinf: at the present time, arc f il'K.lvourins to refloat the vessel. The Launces- , ton Murine Board were asked by the syndicate to pivo a quotation for the us-e of the tug Wybia in connection with the salvage operations. The board did so, andare now awaiting instructions with recanl to the use of the tug. The Farsuad was originally known as the British harsne Caradog, and is well known nt V'lney t*nd Newcastle. She was built in Sunderland in 1891. It will be learned with satisfaction (sty* "The N.W. Advocate") that the vessel to he built at Devonnort, Tasmania, to the order of the Federal .Government -v ; ll be larger and faster than the usual traders to the port. Originally auxiliaries were oliosen, bul now it has been decided to construct full-powered oilships of 200'j tons, and with a snecd of 10 knots. By the way of comparison, it might bo mentioned that the Karltano is 1376 tons, the Koonya 1092 tons, the _Tavinui 1542 tons, and the Knkano 1521 tons. Their speed would average about 9 knots.
