The Suva correspondent of the Auckland Star gives further particulars of the wreck ot the copra schooner A. M. Baxter, briefly reported in Wednesday's Post. He says that the' Vessel left Suva with a fair wind.on Wednesday at midday: at 1f1.50 the same night she .wiled full tilt on to the reef with all her sails set. She had on board 740 tons of copra, and was bound for San Francisco. It was impossible ior the crew to leave the vessel at night, but when daylight came they managed to get away In two boats. Captain M. A. HeUquist, with the cook and two seamen, took charge of a email boat, and endeavoured to reach Suva. They got as far as Yanucca, where they landed exhausted after 18 hours. The natives there took them in and treated them hospitably.' The natives then brought them on to Navua, which place was reached at a late hour on the night of 17th July.

All but three of the vessels flew the Stars and Stripea \ We are pleased to note that the requisite i arrangements have been made for the distribution of torpedo badges to masters and seamen who have served on vessels which have been sunk or damaged by torpedo or mine during the w&r, and wbo bave afterwards signed on for and .completed a farther voyage (states Syren and Shipping List). In addition to the badge,, a bar will be awarded for each subsequent torpedoing or mining, and when five bars have been awarded the recipient can, if he so desires, enchaDge his badge and bars for a pentagonal pointed star.
