The Rimu, with 90£00 ft of Stewart TAtnd timber, arrived at 10.30 o.m. yesterday after cutting out tho distance up tie coast in seventeen hours. Contrary to expectations, the Zealand ii. missed the early tide yesterday, and anchored off the Heads till the afternoon. She arrived alongside the tongue wharf a* 2 p.m., and was given the berth at the cross wharf when the Warrrmoo moved oak She leaves Dunedin for Sydney via Auckland at 4 pan. to-morrow. The steamers Ccrrinna and Warrimoo sailed at 5 p.m. and 4 p.m. yesterday respectively. The Corirma proceeds to Onebnnga via way ports, and the Warrimoo to Melbourne. The coastal steamer Storm arrived from the North at 7 p.m. yesterday. She narked cargo at the Rattray street wharf :o-day, and left for Tiraaru and Wangami in the afternoon. The schooner Jessie Kiccol dropped lown under topsails to the Lower Harsor about mid-day, and anchored in-roadi-sess to sail for the Campbell and Macfoarie Islands. Tho Invercargill, having been cleaned ind painted, was floated out of the gravng dock on Saturday afternoon, anil sailed in the evening for Waikawa. The old brig Edward, which first saw the light of day in some Norwegian fiord or otter, and is well known in Dunedin, is running on the coast. Some years ago she was sold to a Sydney firm, and after running in the intercolonial trade was again sold, this -time passing into the hands of a Hobart firm, to whom sho now belongs. Whilst at Hobart the Edward was thoroughly overhauled and refitted with now sails, gear, etc-, and is now stated to be in splendid order. A Norwegian barque named the August, laden with timber, at Mercury Bay, is 4nt»mwd there owing to trouble with the crew. Several of the men deserted, and iqpoa b«Ji»g arrested by the police absokrtsU —fiwr co-beard,, sqjpnfc that

they preferred going to gad. Two of them were brought before the Court at Mercury Bay, and, being sentenced to two months’ imprisonment, were taken to Auckland in the Apanui on Wednesday, in charge of a constable, to serve their sentence in Mount Eden Gaol. When tbe Monowai was leaving Lyttelton on Friday some amusement wae created by the foot that two Chinamen, who had gone aboard to see friends off, were loft, The gangway was pulled in, and while the vessel was just getting under way one of the Chinamen jumped ashore, but the other was carried on to Wellington. The Marine Department, on behalf of the Board of Trade, desires to obtain in'llavnation as to the next of kin of the late Albert William Hyde, who was third officer of the missing ship Glenbum when she left San Francisco on the 25th October, 1904. He formerly belonged to Wellington. The battleship Dreadnought, the building of which has just been started at Portsmouth, will be the heaviest battleshin afloat, with a displacement of 18.000 tons. She will be very powerfully armed, and so constructed as to be exceptionally speedy, her turbine engines being calculated to give her nineteen knots an hour. Her armament will lie ten 12iu guns in barbettes, and the usual small arms for protection against the attack of torpedo (Taft. She is to be completed within sixteen months, which will be a record for na.val construction. UNION STEAM SHIP COMPANY.

The Scottish shipbuilding figures for August present, several interesting features. In the first place, tie output is large—so vessels of 62,042 tons, of which 23 vessels of 58,055 tons were launched by Clyde yards. This is much higher than the monthly average, and it brings the eight months’ Clydo total up to 314,185 tons, the highest on record, with the exception of that of 1901, when the eight months produced 330,126 tons. Another feature of the output is the large tonnage floated for Clyde owners. This runs up to over 30,000 tons, composed almost wholly of cargo steamers, of which seven were launched for local firms, ringing in size from 5,100 tons gross to 3,900 tons. This is the result of the large number of orders placed about the New Year, when managing owners decided that the time had come when they should invest some of their surplus capital, in the hope of reaping dividends for their shareholders later on. -Is to now work, the total for the month is about 42,500 tons. The majority of the contracts, as usual, went to yards down the river, where the gross Tonnage, if not the high-priced work, is now being turned out in much larger qiumtities tfian from yards nearer Glasgow.
