During the past few years much has been done in the direction of simplifying and accelerating the salvaging of sunken drips. Great importance attaches to the discovery of a chemist. He has found, according to an authority, a preparation which, -when sprayed on rotting cargo, immediately kills the gases, and thereby enables the men to carry out their work in safety. At last Friday's meeting of the Timaru Harbor Board the harbormaster (Captain D. M'Douga.Ll) reported that the arrivals during July were 23 steam vessels, with nn aggregate of 9,312 ton.-., and the departures wore 23 steam vessels, with an aggregate of 9,312 tons. The Timaru Harbor Board have had a by-law prepared malting provision for charging harbormaster's fees, in accordance with the decision come to at last Friday's meeting of the board. A special meeting of the board will be held on Sat- j urdn.y next to adopt the by-law. j A "proposal has bsen made to reinstate a time-ball for Auckland, such as was iu | operation on the waterfront until a few j years ago. with additional provision fur the discharge of a ;;un at Fort Cautloy simultaneously with the- mid-day dropping of the, ball. The matter is under consideration by the City Council's Publio Sendees Committee. The salving of the burned steamer Defender was almost finished on .Saturday, i there now being only the propeller to get. j On Friday the engine was ready for lift- i ing, and on Saturday it was safely landed ;
