owner* of the West Hartlepool 'steaioship Ax well from a judgment of Mr Justice Bargrava ■ Deane, holding that a collision between their vessel and the Shire liner Moray?h«*,, belonging to th<J defendants, was solely this to the fault of the pilot, who was compnlsorily in chayg© of the liner. The casualty occurred in the Lower Hope Reach of the River Thames on tho early morning of January, 31 last, when the Axwell was bound from Dagenham to Hull in ballast, and the Morayshire was on a voyage from Australia to Tilbury with a general cargo. The Court allowed tho appeal, and pronounced the owners of the Morayshire liable for the damage canard by the collision. i —— BETTER FREIGHTS FOR SAILERS. Sailing ship owners, whose position a year or two ago was considered absolutely hopelers, arc, for them, experiencing comparatively good times, a3 it is now ponj eible (says ' Fairplay ') to work outvoyj ace? at current rates to show a margin of : profit. Outward rates of-freight are better, and homeward employment from AusI tralia, the North Pacific, and the west j Coast of South America has considerably J improved. Some sailing ship owners conI sider that the outlook for sailing ships for I the next IS months is very satisfactory. I There is. of course, no doubt that tho ) days of sailing ships are numbered. Every ' year sees a great diminution in the toiij while no additions are beiryr made. j Last year, for instance, out sailing ship I tonnage in consequence of sales to foreigners, wreck*, etc.. showed n reduction of over 2C0.000. As a result of the ; improved outlook, etc., the value of sail- ! ing shins during the past, 18 months has j increased by about 50 per cent. i ' _ ! OVERSEA STEAMERS. J AUCKLAND.
