Weir and Co., Harris and Dixon, Trinder, Anderson and Co., Bethell, Own and Co., and Birt, Potter, and Hughes. The directorate includes the name of Mr. Allan Hughes (Federal Steam Navigation Company and New Zealand Shipping Company). A site of from forty to forty-five acres has been secured on the River Wye, two miles from the Bristol Channel, giving a depth of water for launching of 45ft. There is ample coal, aud steel is now obtainable at South Wales at a lower cost than on the" Hast <Joast and on the Clyde, to which it is shipped: The plans have been prepared to provide for tile construction of nine or ten large ships at the same time. Ships of a standard type of about 8500 tons deadweight will be probably built first, but it will be possible to build vessels up to 12,000 tons. The length provided for is from 450 ft to CoOft. She would be able to go practically' anywhere and everywhere. The machinery at Chepstow will be specially designed' for producing standardized parts of hulls and engines. A garden city is .to be built on 150 acres of land near by LUOKENBACK STEAMER SUNK According to the San Francisco Commercial News, the American steamer Jacob Luckenbach, bound from San FrancisSp to Leith, was sunk early last month off Dover after collision with the' British steamer Eddystone. The crew was saved. The steamer was Owned by the Luckenbach Line, owners of the Edgar F. Luckenbach, now in port at Wellington STRIKE ON AMERICAN SCHOONER • The American four-masteu schooner Omega, which was to iiave left Port Chalmers on Saturday for Port. Townsend (U.S.A.), was delayed by something in the nature of a strike among the crew. It appears that one of their number deserted on Friday evening and could not be found, and that another, a Frenchman, who has been under treatment at the hospital, was returned to the vessel, but was not lit for duty. The men refused to turn to until the shortage of hands was made good, and so far the necessary men have not been found THE CACIQUE Messrs. W. R. Grace and Company's steamer Cacique, which is due at Wellington to-morrow from San Francisco, H a vessel of the typical i British cargo-carrying type, for though she sails under the American ensign, the Cacique was built in Great Britain, and Is fitted with two short masts, which are each'equipped with eight 1 derricks. It is understood that she has no wireless service, so that she will not he ablb to advise the local agents of the probable tims of arrival here I

j THE ALBATROSS WRECK. | I Evidently the owners of the auxiliary ketch Albatross, which was wrecked (at Kawhia a short time ago, have not giveu up hope of refloating her. The Secretary for Marine at Wellington received advice yesterday that the owners were doing their best to get her olt and there is a good chance of success attending their efforts. It has been decided to hold the preliminary enquiry at Auckland instead of at New Plymouth, as it has been found more convenient for the witnesses. Tile report will be sent on to Wellington, and it will then bo decided whether or not a magisterial enquiry is to bo held STRATHAVON COMING TO WELLINGTON Advice received in Wellington states that the steamer Stratliavon will go on the loading berth at New York to lift cargo for Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, and Sydney. She will come "through the Panama Canal. The Strathavou is one of the vessels recently purchased by Mr. Hughes on behalf of the Fedeth\ Government PERSONAL Mr. H. P. Olsen, chief officer of the Ngatoro, who has just been undergoing examination for his Home trade master's certificate at Lyttelton, is to rejoin his ship at Wellington tomorrow Mr. W. Clark has joined the Pateena as radio operator Taking advantage- of the good weather the Tutanekai left Worser Bay early this morning to resume her work on the Oterangi Bay cable The price paid by the Union Company to the Alliance Shipping Company for the purchase of the Dalmore, since renamed Waitotara,- is reported to be £150,000 The Koutunui and Kiritona, which have been engaged for some thne in work on the East Coast, are due in Wellington from Napier, for the purpose of lightering the Cacique, expected from San Francisco to-morrow. Tlie Putiki, from Wanganui, is timed to arrive on Sunday, also for lightering work The barque Manurewa, which left Grafton on the sth August for Wellington and Wanganui, is expected to put in an appearance about the end of the week. She is bringing hardwood and ironbark timber for tlie Wellington Harbour Board, the Railways, and Public "Works Department. Her "loading for Wanganui is for the harbour board of that town and for the railways Ko time has been lost in refitting the neces■sary pumping apparatus to the Gisborne dredger Maui (saye an exchange). The chairman of the board (Mr. Townley) states that the Maui will be ready to commence pumping operations In the channel this week. Advantage has been taken of the Maui being tied up to conduct the half-yearly overhaul of the boilers. " A careful survey of the rrver channel has been conducted by the harbourmaster, and numerous soundings have been recorded Work in connection "with the rateing of the Wanganui Harbour Board's dredge at Castleeliff is proceeding (says the Wanganm Herald). The dredge has been hauled to a perpendicular position with tackles, and the unshipping of the buckets is now going on
