INCREASED OUTPUT A writer In Falrplay, the English shipping lournal, says:—Tho Government has adopted standard ships in order that our output might 08 increased, bat bo far its anticipations have not been justified. We all know that there are very seriona difficulties in the way of - record construction in this country, but there is no reason why, If properly: managed, the shipbuilding output ot this country should not be materially increased, if we follow the ex- •' ample of some of our competitors. For instance, some time ago I referred to a record set up by the Kawasaki Dockyard Company, but I now hear that the Skinner andfc Eddy Corporation, of Seattle, Washington, has made a world's record, and although only commencing operations-about eighteen months ago, has launched a steamer of 8800 tons deadweight, dimensions 423 ft 9ln by Mft by 29ft 9in, and to steam 11J knots In 64 working days after the, laying of the keel, and she is for British V owners. Of course, work was carried out night and day, but an ordinary individual ■would Imagine that .what can be done in the United States and Japan can be done as ■well in this country, if the men and machin-ery-were available MARINERS WARNED The following ■ warning to mariners has been Issued by the Marine Department:—"All vessels ■ leaving for the north should note that the master of the. steamer Mako reports having sighted wreckage 5 miles north of Gable End Foreland 2J miles oif the. mainland, on Sunday morning. The wreckage is about 30ft ilong, ' and is like the top side of a wooden vessel. It Is dangerous to navigation." Tho coastal steamer Tninui, which lost her propeller when five railos out of Wanganui, will in all probability bo fitted with a new one at Wanganui The following passengers have left New Zealand for America:—Drs. Story, Sexter Bock, Mesdames W. Blake. Brown and child, Story and child, Messrs. W. Blake, Chas. Brushwitz, Brown, T. A. Callender, and H. Crane The departure of the auxiliary schooner Houto for Westjiort has been postponed until 5 o'clock to-day '
