sea, "had her capabilities well tested on her way to Lyttelton from Wellington on Thursday last'. After leaving Wellington she encountered a strong son'-wester, accompanied by a. rolling Re;)-, which she plugged against at three-quarter speed t;ll Cape Campbell was reached, the trip from port to port occupying 23£ hour-?. Despite the severe buffeting which flie received on her voyage from Ancldand to Melbourne, which she completed on .June 25. the bnrquentine Lindstol is landing hir timber ca.rgo, amounting to 350.000 ft, intact. Tho barque John Murray, which is now loading general cargo at ?an Vranc ; =en for Australia-, will go direct to Melbourne, which will be her only Australian port of call. It was anticipated that the loading of the. converted barque Shandon at Melbourne -would be oomrdeted. last weok~

She loaded a cargo of wheat, at \\ illianistoivn. whero the American schooner John Stcediaan, which has been in port at Melbourne for 67 days, is also loading grain. Information was received in Melbourne on June, 26 that the American four-masted schooner Sophie Christcusen, 675 tons, carrying a cargo of 790,683 ft of Oregon frcni Puget Sound. U.S.A., for aehvery at Port Pirie, S.A., had put into VVaratah Bav, about, 30 miles from Wilsons I romo'iitory, in distress. It was understood that while lighting against the. vioWnu westerly galo which swept the eastern V ictorian "coast during that week she sustained damage to her steering gear. the captain came ashore, and reached Melbourne on June 26. He made arrangements for the despatch of a tug to the assistance of the Sophie Cbristensen. _ The sale of 19 vessels of the Moor Line (Walter Runcima.ii and Co., Newcastle) to Arthur Capei and Co., London and Fans, lias been prohibited, by the British Shipping Controller (Sir Joseph Maclay). ■V rather interesting charter just im-inMin-eed is that of the big American wooden ship Arvan to load at San l'raneisoo for Wellington. The Aryan arrived at San Francisco as far back as November 23 last from Valparaiso, consequently until the present business was arranged she lias been an idle ship for nearly six months, a serious handicap when the present demand for freight is so acute. 'J he adve-nt. of tlio Aryan in New Zealand waters should be interesting, as she v\iil be the largest wooden ship that ha.s over visited the Dominion.

OXE THOUSAND MILKS WITHOUT A EUDDEE. Details have reached Melbourne concerning an eventful voyage by the small three-faster! schooner YYaimana, 117.tons. She left. Fremaiitle. for Port .Adelaide en Mav 16, and after rounding Cape Leeuwin a stiff blow was met with, and the vessel's progress was retarded. On Mny ?6, when the Waimana was close to AlVmny, a he aw s<ea crashed over her stern. .Mid c.-irrir-d' away the rudder. For the next, ihree clavs 'the sal" continued to h'.ow s!-->nelv from tha'enst, and portion of t.!v| jib stay carried away, but was repan-ea wit!) great difficult: v.' The Waimana arrive/! Tit Port Adelaide on June 11. after a vovnge- of 26 day*, the ln<=t 1.000 miles of the "journey being covered a. rtiddc- the steering having been dono by means of the Fail-'. The vessel is owned bv the master. Cantain F,. Taylor, who purchased her in Western Australia. She is landing 73.(XX)f! of jarrah at Port Adelaide, and on discharge she will enter the trade between Hobnrt and Melbourne. COAL-CAPEVI'N T G SITTrS.
