Some interesting facts have been brought to light by an interview with the chief engineer of the Pukaki. Mr. Trevallion stated that his father was a member of the barque Australia when she was wrecked in 1881. He relates that when the shipwrecked crew landed at New Plymouth, the first person Air. Trevallion, senior, met had been a passenger on a vessel of which he had been third officer at the time. During his career as chief engineer, Mr. Trevallion lias had many experiences. He has visited the Caroline, Marshall, Grobert, Ellis, Solomon, Malden, Nauru, Ocean and Walpole Islands, as well as New Caledonia. The Australia was wrecked between the Breakwater and Belt road. An unusual and rather exciting incident occurred a few days ago, in connection with a wheat charter. "he steamer Geddington Court, having completed discharge of phosphates at a South Australian port, had to proceed to Melbourne for docking before taking up her wheat charter. The vessel, however, returned to Port Pirie and the charterers took delivery at 11 a.in. The charter was up at noon that day, so the Geddington Court had only one hour to spare. ,
