Ellerker Proprietary, Ltd., of Melbourne, for £7000, and on the winding up of that concern passed under the control of the Inter-State Trading Agency, is to be sent to Launceston to be converted into a cargo-car-rier OflINA'3 HELP dhifla.ia apparently giving material .aid to the Allied cause. Captain J. S. Watson, salvage expert ol the- Hongkong Dock Company, in Victoria, stated recently that ships' are being built at Hongkong and all principal yards in China for British interests as fast as they can be turned out. He says the Honkgong Bock Company has six steel ships, each of approximately 350 ft in length, on the stocks at Hongkong. While labour is cheap in the Orient, the steel shipbuilders there have many obstacles "to combat, the greatest of which is the'shortage of steel , ' • SKIPPER'S HUGE PROFITS -Ifl was reported to the North Eastern Sea ■Fisheries Committee at York in November last that a Hull skipper lias earned over £35,000 since the war began. Another has made £15,000 in two years, and the balance-sheet of a firm of trawler owners shows that one skipper has been paid £8000 during one year. The report £dded that skippers had earned all they received when the perils of the North Sea were remembered „As .the .Inyercarglll Is to be overhauled at Wanganui, she will be detained at that port-, until Friday next. Consequently the Blenheim will make a run to Wanganui to-morrow. She is-due back at Wellington on Saturday, and on Monday will resnme her usual running.

It appeared to be about 40ft long and several ieet high ,
