Recently the acting clerk of the Port Adelaide .police division (Constable C. W. Bridgeland) effected a smart capture of two desetters from a French sailing ship. Though the men had been missing since the- Bth Angus;t, apparently they merely desired to effect an exchange, for the constable received informa- ■ tion that the men were concealed on board another French ship. He" visited , the forepeak of the vessel, and fonhd.-the men separately secreted amongst the coal and the bags In that part of the ship. The men lay' quiet until he detected them. they wefe taken before the court, and ordered on boafd their ship REFITTING OLD HTJIK3' ' Some time ago the Hons. J. Jelley and J. Catr and Mr J. L. Price, M.P. (says a South Australian exchange),- brought under notice of the late Government the possibility of sbftie of the old hulks lying in the.Port Adelaide river being refitted for use us cargo vessels. In the legislative Council Mr. Jelley directed the attention of the Commissioner of Public Works" (Hon. J. G. Bice) to the matter, and asked jf the present Government wbuld look into it. ) The Minister replied that the subject had al-J ready received attention, and had been advanced to the stage when they were in a' position to say which ot the hulk 3 could be "Used-and Wlat the cost would be. ■ Tha-t morning he had given orders for a further investigation of the possibility ot procuring rigging and other necessary equipment at Port Adelaide Aa there is already a vessel named the Torea, it has been decided to rename the Gisborne Sheepfarraers Company's tug the "Tiroa." ■' : .
