NOW ACCOMMODATES THE LARGEST LINERS. An instance of the improvement that aan be ..effected to a port by. a progressive jbixbor authority is furnished by Durban, •which is rapidly assuming much importance as a port of'call for steamers travelling between Great Britain and Australia '.via South. Africa. In the early days of the port great trouble was experienced tvith a sandy bar to the harbor entrance. with its low-water depth of 10ft to 12ft, that formed a barrier to deep-sea shipping. Cteps "that were adopted to remove this Restriction proved successful, but costly, 'mill the result that the harbor can now «ccoramodate the largest liner visiting feouth African waters, a uniform depth of from 34ft to 35ft. capable of admitting vessels at any time or tide,, being available. The 18,000-tonner Ceramic lias visited the port -without difficulty, while four liners, agi.gregatiijjg. 50,000 tons, have been accommodated atone time. Statistics for 1913 also indicate'increased progress, the total gross 'tonnage of shipping visiting the port being 6.506.190 tons, while the imports totalled .dost* on one million tons, exports 280,000 ions, and.*" coal exported and bunkered 1.700,000 tons.

AN ANGRY SEA. COLLIER IN A fiAI.E. After -a somewhat tempestuous voyage I ■cf seven days the Melbourne Steamship •Company's jidbourue arrived at Lyttelton yesterday morning -with over 2.000 tons, of Newcastle coal. Thu vessel, left the New fconth Wales port early on Saturday week, and trace into the Tasuian Sea encountered a stTone southerly #de. with high seas, which for four days raged with the fori.-© . tf a cyclone- On Tuesday last the decks * vore awash fore and aft, and in the fury «f the pale the ladders, steam-pipe casings, and other' deck fittings were - bent and whilst sails and tarpaulin hatch t-ovCTB weTe ripped to pieces. The; starLoard -working boat was aiso stove in. Tor several hours the Melbourne was hove £o, and Captain B. Heddie found it necessary to use oil bags over the bow, this lieirtfr done with marked success. Sub* sequently the weather moderated a little, ■ «nd dear headway was made. Farewell Spit was passed at 1 a.m., on Saturday. Owing to the constant tossing of the vessel the cargo shifted, and the Melbourne arrived at port with a decided list.

I 'LLOYD'S LIST.' AN OLD SHIPPING/ PAPER. TO BE ISSUED*AS A DAILY. "Lloyd's List,' as a dailv newspaper of the chipping world, is to "be printed and published by the Corporation of Lloyd's front the Ist of next month. It is 218 years since a little two-page mercantile newspaper was " printed for Edward Lloyd, 'coffeeman, in Lombard street, London." About 30 years ago ' Lloyd's List' was united to-Messrs Spottiswoode's 'Shipping and Mercantile Gazette,' and the return of the former to Lloyd's marks the termination of the corporation's agreement with that firm. The new paper (says the ' Standard') will be issued from a special department of the great maritime corporation at the Royal Exchange. It will consist of 24 pages. For the purpose of their paper Lloyd's calculate upon the arrival daily of some 4.000 separate items of shipping news from all over the world. The scope will include matters connected with all general commerce, freights, and cargoes, insurance, maritime and commercial law, and full space will be given to parliamentary news. Articles wtil be given on topics of current interest, for Lloyd's intend to cater for commercial life as understood in its widest sense. The corporation's private signalling organisation,'by semaphore, telegraph, and wireless, augmented by arrangements with foreign Governments, will serve the newspaper.

WHEN GREEK MEETS BRITON. A SHIPBROKEITs EXPERIENCE. A well-known shipbroker has just had an interesting experience in connectionwitha Greek shipping transaction, says ' Fairplay.' About a year or so ago«a Greek called at his office and told him that he had about £2.000, and wanted to purchase a steamer. As a British firm wanted to charter a vessel of a certain size, he would like to borrow the balance <m the vessel and fix the boat up for 12 months at the rate offered, which showed'a very good profit. The vessel was purchased for about £II.OOO, and as the war between Greece and Turkey was still going on, it was divided to continue to run the vessel under the British Flag, the broker holding a mortgage for the balance of the purchase price. The vessll duly performed her charter, with the result that a net profit of about £4.500 was shown, which the broker decided to retain to pay off the instalments due on the vessel. On the conclusion of the charter the broker received a visit from another Greek, who stated that he had provided the £2,000, and had sent the fiTst Greek oyer to England to carry out the transaction, and he wanted to have his share of the profits. The broker, however, pointed out that the agreement had been made between him and the first Greek, and therefore _ he could not recognise any other transaction. After vainly endeavoring to secure some recognition with the aid of a solicitor, the second Greek returned home, where, it is reported, he was at once arrested for fraudulent bankruptcy.
