SHIPPING NOTES. The Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's Karamea, bound to London from Wellington, left Monte Video on Sunday last. The Waiwera arrived at London on Saturday. Two Huddart-Parker vessels are due in port to-day. The Victoria will arrive to load for Sydnoy and North Island ports, and the Westralia will arrive from Wellington and will sail later for Dunedin. In continuation of Homeward loading the Federal and Shiro Company's Surrey is due on Friday from the south. At this port the vessel will lift a largo quantity of frozen meat, dairy produce and other cargo for West Coast of England ports. The Arapawa is duo on Saturday from Gisborne with sheep, and will sail later for Wellington with cargo. The small ooastal steamer Defender is expected to go on tho slip to-day for cleaning, and on Friday will sail for Wellington and Hokitika. Owing to bad weather in the. north the Tyser Line Company's Hawke's Bay has been • further delayed in the north. She is not expected to sail from Gisborno until noon today, and consequently her arrival in Lyttelton is not expected until Friday. Yesterday morning tho schooner Annio Hill arrived in port from Kaipara, where she left o.n Tuesday, March 17. Tho journey down the' coast was uneventful. The Huddart-Parker Company's UlimaToa,, duo at Wollington this morning from Sydney, has fifty-one saloon and sevonty-oight steerage paßscngers on board for New Zealand ports. The vessel is due hero on Friday morning, and will sail in the afternoon for Melbourne, via ports. The New Zealand Shipping Company's Rotorua arrived at Plymouth on Thursday last from Wellington. The vessel is due to sail from London for New Zealand ports on April 16, being due here about Juno 9. The steamer Opouri, loading here for Greymouth, had her mainmast carried away about ten o'clock last night, and in courequence will not be able to leavo for a week or so. A portion of a traction engine, weighing about five ton 3- was being shipped, and was just about level with the hatch coamings, when the mast, of 8-inch steel, snapped a: tho jaws of the derrick, close to the deck, and fell across the deck, smashing a ventilator, but fortunately injuring nobody. Tho mainmast was 60ft in height, with a diameter of sixteen inches. TITANIA, FROM NEWCASTLE. After a rather long, but an uneventful voyage, the barquentine Titania arrived in port yesterday irom Newcastle, with 1800 tons of coal. The vessel sailed from the New South Wales port on February 21 last, and for three weeks light winds were experienced, and very little headway wa3 made. On March 15 tho wind freshened from the 6outh, subsequently rising to a gale, with high seas. At 10.30 p.m. on March 18 the Titania was off The Brothers, and the following day was off Cape Campbell, with a light north-west wind. Fiom this out tho vessel remained in the vicinity of Clarence River, being buffeted to and fro by the adverse winds. On Monday, however, the conditions were more favourable, and at dusk the vessel was off Godley Head, yesterday's easterly allowing her to sail inside the harbour. Tho Titania has made several trips between Wellington and Newcastle, but her arrival in Lyttelton yesterday was her first under the command of Captain F. Holm. The vessel war, at ono iime intended as a hulk. for the Paparoa Coal Company, but just ft 3 oho was about to be dismantled her present master purchased her. Mr AV. F. Tillick, lute of the John, is male, and Mr D. M'Kao second. On completion of discharge the vessel will proceed to Newcastle to load for Fiji., COMMAND OF THE AQUITANIA. CAPTAIN W. T. TURNER APPOINTED. Captain W. T. Turner, R.N.R., who has been in command of the Cunard liner Mauretania since 1910, has been appointed commander of the Aquitania. Captain Turner joined the Cunard service in 1377, and the Cunard ships he has commanded include' tho Carpathia, Invernia, Umbria, Caronia, Carmania and Lusitania. One of the most remarkable voyages ever performed by the Mauretania while under the command of Captain Turner was when she made the round trip between England and America in just over twelve days. At the merchant shipping review in the Mereey in July last, Captain Turner received the King and Queen on the Mauretania, and had the honour of conducting them through tho ship. Captain Turner, who is an honorory commander in the Royal Naval Reserve and holds the Royal Humane Society medal for life-saving, and tho transport modal for service during the Boer War, began his career as a deck boy in the Liverpool sailing ship White Star, and went round tho world, returning home in the " windjammer " Queen of the-Nations, of which his father was skipper. When completed, the Aquitania will carry four motor-boats fitted with wireless. In case of mishap the services of the motors will prove a decided addition to the lifesaving gear. SPANISH OFFICERS' WAGES. The secretary of the Imperial Merchant Sorvice Guild, London, has recoived the following letter from the President of the Spanish Society of Captains and Officers: " I beg to inform you that we have solicited from the .Spanish shipowners certain increases in our wages, which they havo reduced, so we are going on strike. If the owners, as they say, intend to engage British officers we beg tho officers of Great Britain will not betray us. Hoping that you will neglect nothing to the best, interest ot our request I pray you to accept my gratitude." The requests of the Spanish captains and officers are exceedingly moderate in character, and the Guild has replied to the effect that they need have no fear whatever of any British captain or officer taking their places. CHINESE PIRATES. A caso of piracy occurred recently on the British steamer Tai On, where several persons were killed, and the captain, officers and engineers made prisoners and robbed of everything they possessed. The Imperial Merchant Service Guild has been corresponding with the Foreign Office in connection with the matter for some time past, and steps are being taken by the Chinese Government to suppress these piratical attacks on vessels, as the fol Towing letter received by the Guild indicates:—Foreign Office, February 11, 1914.—Gentlemen,—With reference • to your letter of November 26, relative to the attempted piracy on the steamship Tai On, I am directed by tho Secretary, Sir E. Grey, to inform you that the Chinese Government was approached on tho subject by his Majesty's Miuister at Pekin in December. Sir J. Jordan has now reported tho receipt of a reply to the effect that telegraphic orders had been issued to tho provincial authorities of Kuangsi and" Kuangtung directing them to use the utmost vigilance in protecting the trade routes. These instructions would seem to have had a beneficial effect, as tho commodore in command at Hong Kong, in his periodical report of the measures taken by his Majesty's ships to prqtect vessels and patrol the trade routes, mentions that the local Chinese authorities appear to be anxious to take all possible steps for the suppression of piracy and armed robbery.— I am, your most obedient servant, W. Langley. TELEGRAPH NOTICE BOARD. AUCKLAND, March 24. Arrived, 9 a.m., Rakaia, from Sydney.
