' ' Moeraki. for Sydney via Cook Strait, Jnly 26. Waikare, for Melbourne, July 29. In port noon to-day:—At Dunedin: Victoria. Corinna. Pnkaki, Rimu, InvercargiH (steam), Catarina, Olive (sail). At Port Chalmers : Moana. Te Anan, Progress (steam), Speculant (sail). The Rimu arrived from Ilalfmoon Bay at 2.45 p.m. yesterday, and discharged 100.000 ft of timber at'the Rattray street wharf to-day. The Wimmera left the cross wharf and sailed for Melbourne at 3 p.m. yesterday. Tho Invercargill, with timber"from W'aikawa, arrived at five o"clock this morning. She goes into deck this evening. After a trying time in the fog which wrapped tho Otago coast yesterday the Victoria, from Sydney via Aucldand, got alongside the tongue wharf at 2.50 p!m. She sails on the return trip to-morrow, leaving {.he wharf at Dunedin at 3 p.m. . The Corinna and Pnkaki went out this afternoon, the former sailing for New Plymonth - and the latter for the 'WestCoast. The Koonya has 500 tons of We3t Coast coal for this port. The Union Company are advised that she was to leave the Bluff about 5 p.m. to-day. in which case she ought to be at Dunedin about 3 a.m. to-morrow. The Moe-raki, from Melbourne, is due to-morrow. It is an even chance as to whether Captain Worrall will be in time tor the morning tide. Should the steamer miss it she will not be up. The Oamaru dredge Progress, having been cleaned and painted, was floated out of the graving dock" this forenoon, and berthed at the wharf to complete her overhaul. Tho little schooner Medora, which put back to Lyttelton for repairs last Sunday, ha 3 been surveyed by Captain Marciel, ten dent of Mercantile Marine, and Mr Claude Fe.rrier. representing the New Zealand Insurance Company. They have ordered the caulking of the vessel's topsides and repairs to her equipment. The hull is said to be sound enough below. It is expected that the repairs to the vessel will be completed this week, when she will resume her passage from Auckland to Dunedin. The scow Eunice (Captain Robertson), which arrived at Onchunga on Monday last from Wellington, has been lmfortimate on her last two trips (says the 'Press'). During her last run from Onchunga the vessel lost two of her booms in a heavy .gale, and on tho run from Wellington heaw weather was experienced the whole time.. The vessel took shelter in Cloudv Bay. On the last run down the coast from Auckland the passengers of the Tarawera presented Captain Polls with the folkrwinj address :—"To Captain Rolls, master s.s. Sir, —Appreciative of the exceptionally trying a,nd anxious time which yon have spent since leaving Gisborne on Sunday night last, and of' tho laudable care Diml nttention exhibited by you and yoirr ship's company in the safe navigation of the shro through thick fog and heaw seas, and the comfort- as well as the safety of the passengers., w cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing to yon our heartfelt thanks. The voyagw will be to us a memorable one, and as long as it is remembered your masterly qualities as a seaman, which were fully tested through three sleepless nights, will not be forgotten bv anyone on board." The address was signed by over 100 passengers.' The Deputy Comrnissiouer of Taxes for South Australia witnessed a singular phenomenon at Broome (W.A.) the other day. When ho got up on the morning after arrival to take his bath he found his vessel (the s.s. Ballaria, of 1,725 tons) surrounded by wet sand, and tho water for bis ablutions non-existent. At trns port the tide recedes for miles, and the rise of water ai spring tides is 28ft. At low water one can walk out seaward for over three miles. When the tide comes in it travels like a racehorse. CLAYTONISED CARGO. According to the London c Times' of the 9th June, there cordd hardly be a more strongly marked contrast than in the results of the fires in the White Star Kner Gothic and the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Waimate. Both vessels were from New Zealand for Home, and their cargoes were of a similar nature. In both cases fires broke out in the wool cargoes, but here the similarity ends. The Gothic, after burning for several days, had to be beached at Plymouth with a loss- to her valuable cargo which may possibly exceed £200,000. The ,in this respect unBk© "the Gothic, was equipped with the Clayton sulphur dioxide fire-extinguishing machine, and. was by its use able to keep i the fire under for about ten days. When 'she reached Plymouth the temperature in the holds was normal, and after taking : «hl board &wi ot salDlpir for : the. machine,

she was able to leave in the- afternoon tor London, It is htvrdly nossible, condudes ' The Times,' to imagine a better lesson m the advantages arising out of the equipment of a vessel with a scientific fireextinguishing system. The saving of money alone msy in this case be reckoned m hundreds of thousands of pounds. THE RECENT GALES. AUCKLAND, July 23. Iho auxiliary schooner May Howard has anived at Hokianga from Auckland. She lost two anchor? and her foresail, and had her cabin doors smashed by a heaw s?a during the gale. The scow Hawk has axn-red at Hokianga twenty-four days out from Gisborno. She reports very heavy weather. ANOTHER BOUGH PASSAGE. Press Association—By Teiegraph—Copyright. PERTH, July 23. {Received Jnly 23, at. 10.2 a.m.) The barque Dilpussund has arrived here after a passage of sixty-four days from Kaiparn.. Gales were encountered almost tlie whole time. Some of the deck cargo was washed overboard, and two men were niso washed over the rail, but wore rescued by means of lines thrown to them. BLOWN OUT TO SEA. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, July 23. (Received July 23, at 10.2 a.m.) Captain Carlson, of the schooner Enterpise, with two men, attempted to land at Flinders, but the wind was too strong. Thoy tried to regain the vessel, but were blown out to sea. Search steamers are out looking for them. FIRE ON THE WAKATTPIJ. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. HOBART, Jnly 23. (Received July 23, at 10.9 aon.) There was a small fire in the hold of the Wakaiipu 100 miles out from Sydney. Ft originated in some straw, but was extinguished within half an hour. There is some damage to the cargo by water. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. AUCKLAND, July 2L—Devon and Wanaka, for the South.—.Jnly 22 : 4.10 p.m., Manuka, from Svdnev.
