Knight of the Garter, Te Anau, Moura, Dorset, Rakiura (steam). Victoria, s.s., from Sydney, berthed at the Lower Jetty street wharf at 7.45 this morning, being a day late on account of bad weather on the East Coast of the North Island. She left Auckland on the 16th, and experienced thick easterly weather to Napier, and thence southerly weather to Dunedin. Being late in arriving at Wellington, she came from that port to Dunedin direct, omitting the call at Lyttelton. Cargo to be discharged here includes transhipments ex lonic from London- The Victoria is to sail at noon to-morrow for East Coast ports, Auckland, and Sydney. Star of Australia, s.s.. from New York via Melbourne and Sydney, arrived at Auckland at 7.45 a.m. to-day. S'ho is due at Dunedin in about a fortnight. Koonya, s.s., arrived at the Bluff at 10 a.m. to-day from the West Coast. She, is to sail about noon to-morrow for Dunedin. ■John Hardie, s.s., which is bringing a cargo of kerosene from Philadelphia, is expected here about the middle of June. She has made a rail at Fremantle, and should now he on her way to Auckland. Flora, s.s., arrived at 4,35 yesterday morning from Westport direct. The bad weatbqj prevailing made her passage longer than usual; she was 3d 161h on the voyage. Her preceding trip was done in 50 hours. She is expected to sail about ten o’clock to-night in the Pukaki's timetable run to the Coast. Waitemata, s.s., leaves Wellington tomorrow for Lyttelton and Dunedin. An A.B. named J. Moffet, twenty-five years of age, employed on the Union Company’s Waitemata, was drowned while that vessel was at Samarang. The crew were going through boat drill, when the boat deceased was attending capsized and he was thrown into the water. It is presumed (says the Auckland ‘ Star) that a falling oar struck him on the head, for he did not rise to the surface. Scarce had he reached the water when D. Johnston, fireman, and C. Irvin, A.8., jumped in after him. They swam round and under the boat for a space of ten minutes without finding a trace of Moffet, who was given up as drowned. Samarang Harbor hj shark-infested, and the action of tbo
men is highly spoken of. Moffat was the solo support of nis aged parents, who live in the Channel Islands. Johnston bolds a gold medal presented him by the residents of the Bluff, showing that in one night during the winter of 1908 be rescued three people from drowning at the Bluff. An inquiry into the fatality was held at Auckland on Tuesday by Captain Fleming, local superintendent of marine, and the evidence has been forwarded to the department in Wellington. For the past six weeks Captain L. S. Hasle, representing Charles Nielsen and Co., Larvrck, Norway, has been in Now Zealand inquiring into the potentialities of whaling in the Dominion. On behalf of hie firm ho applied to the Department of Marine to utilise some of the outlying islands—Stewart Island, the Auckland Islands, Chatham Islands, and a port near the Bay of Islands—for whaling purposes. In his'letter of application he said it was proposed to use a steam vessel, specially fitted with modem appliances for extracting oil and making fodder and manure, and specially constructed steam launches for towing whales alongside the vessel. The Marine Department has replied to Captain Hasle that there is nothing to prevent the vessel being anchored in any harbor and currying out whaling operations therein. Of course, the operations would have to be carried out in such a manner as not to create a nuisance. Captain Hasle speaks highly of tho kindly treatment accorded him by tho Marine Department. He has already made inquiries and personal observations at the Chatbams and elsewhere as to tho possibilities of tho industry, .and thinks it more than probable that a start will ho made at an early date. He considers it likely that ships from the company’s West African fleet will be sent out to New Zealand to commence operations. A TREMENDOUS SPEED.

The lonic, which arrived at Wellington on Wednesday evening after a good voyage from Ivondon, claims tho honor of being the first overseas passenger liner trading to New ZeaJg.nd to bo equipped with wireless telegraphy. The aerials stretch almost the entire length of the ship. The operator's office is located well forward on the upper deck. The equipment was installed in London by the Marconi Inter-national Marine Communication Company, Ltd. The operator. Mr Albert E. Hill, who is employed by tho Marconi Company, w ; lately operator on tho British troopship Soudan, engaged in the whiter season in South African and Egyptian waters. Mr Hill is a graduate from the Marconi Company’s wireless school at Liverpool, and has had experience in tho Western Ocean service. During the voyage of the lonic the vessel was in frequent communication with passing vessels until arrival at Cape Town. The last message despatched to England was when the lonic was 400 miles from the station at llshant, off the coast of France. A charge of lOd per word, with no minimum for the number of words, was made. A number of saloon passengers availed themselves of this method of transmitting messages to friends in England. The average distance which the lonic’s apparatus is able to send a message is about 300 miles.—‘ New Zealand Times.’ PETONE OVERDUE. OAMARU, May 22.
