GAUGE TONNAGE VESSELS* A« k well known, there has been a steady increase in the/number of vessels of great size, and there are now 133 veeeek exceeding 10,000 groee tone, and of these_72 are owned by companies practically in the United Kingdom. Germany comes second in the list with 33, the United States have 9, Holland 6, France 5, Belgium and Japan and Denmark 2 each. The largest vessels, according to ‘ Lloyd's List,’ are the Mauretania and Lusitania, and these alone axe over 30,000 tons. Next in size is the George Washington, recently completed for the North German Lloyd. ,Of between 20,000 and 25,000 tons Britain has. four, Germany two, and America and Holland one each, says ‘ Engineering.’ It will thus be seen that, alike in respect to total volume, to the number of high-speed vessels, and to the number of large capacity ships, Britain still holds a prominent place, and these facts, combined with the maintenance of thesupremacy of Lloyd’s among the underwriting institutions of the world, show that we are still predominant as a maritime nation, and that the effort made to maintain our credit is not only justifiable, but commendable. BLUFF HARBOR BOARD. [Special to the Star.] INVERCARGILL, September 13. Operations are still being carried out at the Bluff in coimection with the raising of the barge upon which was installed the rock-breaking apparatus which the Bluff Harbor Board recently hired from Sydney, and which, with the barge, sank near the wharf last week.

many with the plant available, and a diver has been engaged all week in unbolting the machinery, etc., which is being craned to the wharf in sections.
