Kotnku, s.s., arrived at Port Chalmers last night, and after discharging coal and timber came up to Dunedin this morning. The vessel sails on the return trip to the West Coast to-morrow. Marjory Glen, barque, sailed from Carey Bay yesterday afternoon to load wheat at Germien, near Port Pirie, for the United Kingdom or the Continent. Wairnna, s.s., was to leave Newcastle at one o’clock to-day with coal for New Zealand, Auckland being her first port of calL Rosamond, s.s., will withdraw and lay np at Wellington about the 16th for survey and overhaul The UJ3. and A. steamer Glendevon, from New York, arrived at Melbourne yesterday week en route jo Sydney and New Zealand ports. Mr Anderton, late second engineer of the Monowai, has accepted a shore position at Ashburton. Mr Patterson, the third engineer, has been promoted a step, and Mr Taylor has joined as third. Kazembe, s.s., and Clan Matheson are due from New York via usual ports about Sunday. The former has 400 tons of cargo for here and the latter 600 tons. The Norwegian barque Ashmore arrived at Wellington on Sunday after a smart passage of twenty-four days from Banbury, West Australia. The Ashmore has brought a full load of jarrah, comprising about 600,000 ft, the whole of which is to be discharged at Wellington for Millar’s West Australian Hardwoods Company. Surrey, s.s., from West of England, is 3xpected to arrive about the 9th. Her Dunedin cargo amounts to 1,150 tons. Navna, s.s., leaves Fiji to-morrow for Auckland, arriving there on Monday. After discharge she proceeds to Wellington. ° Makura, or “All Red,” is the name of the latest addition to the fleet of the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand (says the London ‘Telegraph’). As she is to run between Australia and Canada, the appellation suggests a firm belief in the ultimate realisation of the idea of the All-Red route. The Makura, which is of 8,075 tons gross, is the biggest ship in her owners’ fleet, and on her speed trials did a mean of 174 knots. She is not a turbine steamer, although the Union Company were the first to introduce the new type of engines into the Southern Hemisphere. The Makura boasts some excellent passenger accommodation. WINDOWED PROMENADE DECKS. A novel feature introduced bv Messrs Harland and Wolff, Ltd., on the' Holland liner Rotterdam and other big vessels now under construction consists of fitting on the promenade deck large plateglass windows, which may be lowered or closed at will. These windows are designed to supersede the old canvas screens for excluding draughts and wind, which had the great disadvantage of completely shutting off the view and of causing annoyance by the noise which they made by flapping in the wind. In the Rotterdam, the builders have placed about 150 of these windows, which are without frames and arranged on lazy-tongs, so that they can be lowered or raised with a minimum of exertion. To prevent any working or vibration by wind or other causes, little eccentrics are fitted, and a simple arrangement does away with any risk of the glass getting broken. ° NEW SUBMARINE DEPOT.

f ■ tFIFESHIRE WRECK. . j jpCKLESS NAVIGATION. ' At the inquiry at Sydney into the wreck of the barque Fifeshire on the Gilbert Islands, concluded yesterday, tho Court found that the wreck was caused by the negligence and reckless navigation oL-the master (John Nichol) in taking the snap into a position which he knew to lie ‘dangerous. The Court also found that Stephen Rowe, the first officer of the Fifeflhiro. was a man who ought not to be permitted to have charge of a ship owing to bis drunken habits. It called on both to snow cause why their certificates should not be: cancelled. The Fifeshire was insured for £6,000. Richard Evans, who had signed on as bosun, but who acted as second mate, deposed that he had a conversation with Captain Nichol before they sailed from Newcastle. Captain Nichol said he would make the trip to Portland in sixty-five or seventy days unless he could gat a nice soft reef to put her on. Witness said : “ That is, no good to me.” Captain Nichol replied: “That’s all rignt ; 1 shall fix you up.” After the ship grounded Captain Nichol asked*; ** Is she fast?” and when witness veNichol said: " Good; all right, stat the boats out.” Evans added that no attempt was made to get the ship off. Captain Nichol struck him when they were returning to Sydney, and witness then informed him that ho would tell the truth. Captain Nichol and the first mate of the Fifeshire generally denied Evans’s allegations. LOCH LOMOND WRECKAGE. According to Captain J. Gregory, of the steamer Wartaka, who took the barque Loch Lomond from Melbourne to Newcastle, there is little donb: that the wreckage recently found near Cape Maria Van Diemen u from the missing vessel. The wreckage which has been found on the Ninety-mile Beach consisted of a portion of a door, two lifebuoys without canvas covers, a spar 50ft long, a quantity of timber, and portion of a ship’s boat. The only wreckage that bad been forwarded to Auckland "is a portion of a door. This was examined by Caj tain Gregory, who has informed the Customs Department at Auckland that it is irom the Loch Lomond, the painting corresponding to that of the interior of tho deckhouse and the buoy room of the Loch Lomond. He is of opinion that the door was part of a locker in one of these rooms. It has further been established that the timber is not kauri, but a European timber which hears much resemblance to the New Zealand article. The master of the steamer Apanui lias reported to the Customs at Auckland that it was reported to him while in the North last week that a large stone jar, half full of pickles, and a quantity of candles had been wa.-hed ashore in Spirits Bay, between Cape Maria Van Diemen and "North Cape. Captain Gregory informed the authorities that the Loch Lomond had several large jars of pickles in the pantry, but. not having seen the particular one found at .Spirits Bay he could not pise an opinion on it.
