All hands were saved. Matters in connection with the unloadng of the barquentine Pelotas, lying on he Castleclifi Beach, are at a standstill, eporte the Wanganui ' Chronicle.' The ontractors, Messrs Tomsett and Stokes, ,re busy dismantling _ the vessel, which ooks a thorough derelict, but no attempt s being made to salve any more of tfi.© argo of sleepers. Some 2,800 have been inloaded, and as the terms of the conract entered into by Messrs Tomeett and >tokes have been fulfilled, the linn do • lot intend to do any more discharging ex- ~| «pt at a higher pricOi About 1,500

sleepers are still lying in the hold, but a pump or diver is now necessary in order i.O enable them to bo reached. The underwriters are therefore being approached on the subject. Tho vessel is still holding together remarkably well, and is showing little effect from the sea. It is cpnsidered that were the vessel pumped out there would be little difficulty. i'u getting her floated. PROBLEM IN MOTIVE POWER. The talk in shipping circles, writes a Belfast paper, ia mainly about the great contest for supremacy in the size of Atlantic leviathans between the White Star, Cunard, and Hamburg-American Lines, and nothing is heard now as to recordbreaking in the matter of speed. This is simply owing to the fact that the problem of propulsion in "in the melting pot" wain. Much depends upon the results achieved by the large oil-engined cargo boats now in course of construction in Germany and Great Britain, while there are possibilities in tho geared turbine that further trials may develop. Then, again, them is the question of electrical transmission, and the system installed on a 54ff> boat proved so successful on the Clyde recently that it is said a good-sized oceangoing ship is soon to be fitted with it. The likelihood, therefore, is that for some time to come the Cunard Company, with the Liusitauia and Maurctania, will retain the speed record of the Atlantic. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
