THREE DEATHS ON TANKER. 1 A story of terrific heat experienced ] in the Persian Gulf in August last was I told by the master and officers of the 1 tanker Ranella, which discharged fuel oil from Balik Papan at Lyttelton on Saturday. At times the heat reached 120de| in the shade, and the chief engineer, Notto Nottison, died one morning as the result of a heatstroke. The body 1 was committed to the sea that evening after a burial service, at which all the crew, Norwegian and Chinese, attended. The same week a Chinese died aboard the vessel, and another, evidently crazed by the heat, threw 1 himself overboard and was drowned. The third engineer was taken ill and . had To be put ashore in hospital. 1 The Ranella is commanded by Captain J. Morland. BUSY MONTH AT NEW PLYMOUTH. A particularly busy month was experienced at the port of New Plymouth during the month of February (reports an exchange). The .total gross tonnage to call at the port was 89,821 tons, 2,459 tons less than the record. The record was established in March, 1928, when vessels aggregating ,92,271 tons gross called at the port. This total was made up by thirty-seven vessels, of which eight were overseas. During the month just ending the total number of vessels was twenty-nine, of which nine were from overseas and two were intercoloial traders. The nearest approach to the record since it was established was in March, 1929, when vessels aggregating 90,400 tons gross visited the port. The figures this year are better than i those for February in previous years, las shown by the following:— 1930 ... 72,757 tons. 1931 76,820 tons. 1932 ... ... . ... 66.609 tons. , 1933 89,812 tons. The tonnage for last month was 3,459 tons less than the record. It would have been closer had the Kini, which was scheduled to call at New Plymouth, not been cancelled. The gross tonnage of the Kini is 1,388, which would have reduced the deficiency to 2,071 tons. There was, however, one more overseas caller during the month than in the record month, and the fact that eight fewer vessels used the port than in March, 1928, and that the tonnage is not a great deal lower, shows that larger vessels are using the port.
