' Kews received from Sydney states that the P. and O. liner Marmora has been sunk. One of the original "M" class, the Marmora became a firm favourite from the first trip Ehe made to Australia, and, until the outbreak of the war, maintained a regular time-table. When hostilities began, the Marmora did her full share in carrying on the all important work of the navy. The Marmora, which was an ap-fco-date ship in every respect, was built in 1903 by Messrs. Harland and Wolff, Ltd., Belfast. She was a twin-screw steamer, registering 10,509 tons gross, and 5241 net. Her dimensions were: Length, 530 ft 4in; . breadth, 60ft Sin; and depth, 25ft fiin. Perhaps no company trading to Australia has suffered more through war losses than the P. and 0. Company. Of their famous Australian fleet the following have been'lost:—Maloja, Medina, Mooltan, Moldavia, Mongolia, Arabia, Persia and India, while many of the. company's vessels trading to other ports have also been sent to the bottom. The Marmora was not one of those steamers which called at Auckland. Another loss recorded is that of the Australien, one' of the Mesaageries Maritimes Company's most popular passenger steamers, which has also bepn torpedoed and sunk. The Australien' was a ; three-masted double-funnelled steamer of -6377 tons gross and 3549 net. She was built at-La Ciotat in 1889, and had' the following' dimensions:— Length, 485 ft Sin; beam, 49ft 2in; and depth, 34ft lin. Her port of registry was Marseilles. THE PUTIKI SLIP. .'.,.. The modest beginnings of the Putiki: Slip,' and the most successful "docking. of the bar quentine Wanganui, seem to give promise of> developing into a valuable Undertaking for the Wanganui Harbour Board and the.town (states' Saturday's Chronicle).- The board is already considering the acquiring of more land and the building of a large workshop., When the sailer was on the slip it was realised that the area of land was quite inadequate, and at the meeting of the Harbour Board on Friday night Mr. Bignell announced that the taking He also said he proposed to ask the board to erect a large workshop. For the greateet benefit to be derived from the slip; a workshop for punching, rivetting, etc., was -essential. He thought that there were very, good prospects for the future of the slip. It att meant work for men and revenue to the Harbour Board \ The Eegulus, due on Tuesday.from Wanganui, is to sail on Wednesday for Nelson and Onehunga. Intending shipperß are requested to noto that there is only limited space The steamer John Anderson, under the charge of Captain Couper, left Lyttelton short ly before 8 p.m. on Friday for Kaikoura, where the auxiliary schooner May Howard is reported to have sought shelter, having .been disabled during the recent rough weather. It was anticipated that the steamer would arrive off Kaikoura at daybreak on Saturday, and would return to port with the schooner in tow yesterday Reporting to Friday night'B meeting of the Wangannl Harbour Board the harbourmaster (Captain Mclntyre) 6tated that 38 vessels' entered and 41 vessels departed from the port, during the last month, These gave an aggregate tonnage of 29,280 tons. A Press Association message from Auckland on Saturday stated that the Flora arrived at 7.E0 p.m. on Friday from Karotonga. She was three days overdue owing to very heavy weather The latest soundings on the Wanganui bar showed an Increase of 18In in the depth of ■water S
