Captain Jamieson, formerly master of the Jl-fated steamer Defender, sold his interest ii the Westland Shipping Company, owners of the vessel, about a month ago At Tuesday's meeting of the Napier Harbour Board the harbourmaster (Captain H. White-Parsons) advised that as he had been drawn in the ballot he would probably have to 'go -on active ■ service again. The ■ Naval Adviser had informed him that if tfcwas essential the board should appeal for him, but otherwise he should report to the" Admiralty. Captain White-Parsons asked tlie )oard> to grant him leave of absence if ha • mould again have to go on active service. Ihe board acceded to the request A slight alteration is to be made in tha running of the Ripple. - In future she will call at Akitio on her way from Gisborne to Wellington, and cargo for that place will only be received on Mondays till noon At the last meeting of the Patea Harboui Board the pilot reported as follows:—The channel over the bar was straight *ith'about 12{t' good at high water spring tides and Sft 6in at high water neap tides. The bar was sounded on the 27th ult., with'the result that nothing less than 12ft -was found with Bft 6in showing on the gauge one hour and a half before high water. , There have been ten arrivals and twelve departures during the month The Bluff Press states that it has been, ieflnitely decided that Captain K. J. Hamilton, who -will leave Auckland in a few days with the refitted steamer .Stella for Dunedin, will subsequently take over the command of the Antiope when tnat famous clipper arrives back in the Dominion. Both she and the Stella now run under the same ownership of the Otago Iron Boiling Mills Co., Ltd.v Regarding Captain Hamilton's present command, the Stella, -as is well known, is a sister vessel ■ to the\ Government steamer Hinemoa, and it is interesting to recall that' Captain McDonald was mate on the Stella when he accepted the position of harbourmaster at Bluff, and Captain Hamilton was mate on the Hinemoa when he joined the BIuS harbourmaster's 'staff as second pilot. yCaptain Hamilton vacated the poet of master at Bluff some months ago to take over the command of the Stella ,
