Tli© 6hip Macdinrmid, which, it will be remembered, suffered 6evere damage by encountering stormy weather shortly after leaving 1 Newcastle en" route to South America, and put into Auckland for i-cpaira, is now ready for sea. The damage was conllned chiefly to tho .upper works, and several new spars, etc., besides a complete set of'eails li.ul to be fitted, tho shipwright work beinc: entrusted to Mr. C. Bailey, Jim., 'and the rigging to Messrs. Jagger and Harvey. The Auckland Star says the. repairs cost something like £2500. Mr. Lawrence Frost, engineer of tho Auckland coastal steeomer Kapanui at the time of the collision of the Claymore and 1 Kapanui, has been awarded" the gold medal and certificate of the Royal Humane Society of Australasia, for his gallant action in rescuing Captain Scutligate and others from drowning. Tlie steamer Foreric, the first of the steamers of the. new cargo service inaugurated by the Weir Lino between San Francisco, New Zeal»nd. and Australia, is now duo at AiicUmd. The, schooner laibelki Defraine, \vl\ich recently went ashore at Wh.mgt>ic, was (according to the New Zealand, Herald) successfully towed off by* the- s.s. Obinemuri, and- taken to Ahipara, where she remains until the strong westerly winds abate. Tho extent of the damage to the vessel is not at present known. As soon a 9 the weather is favo .-able the Isabella Defraine- will be towed to HeleasviUe for examination and repair. The schooner Stanley, which went ashore at Orewa not long ago, has completed her >epairs, and is now loading at Auckland for Napier. On arrival at that port she will be. converted into a lighter. Under the A. and A. Lino the steamer Now Orleans has been fixed to load at Nero York for New Zealand direct. She. is expected to sail on the 30th November. The coastal steamer Jane Doug'as is barbound at Okarito, and is not expected to get out until a new channel lias been cut. General regret is (sympathises a West Coast exchange) felt at the little vessel's ill luck in being caught at Okarito after having been lying for weeks at Greymouth with cargo aboard waitJuig to get in there. The auxiliary scow Echo wae, according to latest advices, loading timber at Karamea for Wellington.
