NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY’S LINE. Ruapehu—A wireless message has been received from this steamar, advising that she is expected to arrive at Hobart on January 22.

Paparoa, Homeward bound, loft Newport News on January 8. Waimoto, to leave London for New Zealand on January 22. Whakatano, from Montreal, via Auckland, was due at Wellington yesterday. MAUNGANUI AND MAKURA. It is understood that tho Maunganui will lcploce the Mokura on the Sydney-Auckland-Vancouver run for the two or threo months, while tho latter will bo out of commission. The Niagara now takos in oil at Honolulu, and it is presumed that the Makura, when converted, will do likewise. It is also stated that in tho near future the Tahiti will bo converted into an oil-oonsuming vessel. The work of re-conditioning and converting the Marama and Maunganui has been considerably delayed owing to a ehortable of suitable labour, and it. will be some time yet beforo either vessel will bo ready for 4ea. * SICK SEAMEN’S PAY. By the endeavours .of tho Federated Seamen’s Union, Now Zealand seamen who liavo been ashore in distant lauds through sick--1 jcss havo had a disability removed. A case arose recently in which a seaman on tho Waitcvmo was placed ashore at Calcutta through illness and loft there in • hospital. Ho deposited money with the Government Shipping Master there, drew some of it, and, on returning to Now Zealand in tho Waihora, understood that ho would receive tho balance on arrival hero. However, it was not forthcoming, tho money having been sont to the Board of Trade, London, although the conveyance oame to New Zealand. Tho Seamen’s Union took stops through the Marine ' Department to gpt the balance of the money remitted to New Zealand so that tho man could obtain it, and at tho same time the Board of Trade was requested to instruct its , officials at such ports to remit to New Zealand in future all wages and other moneys deposited on behalf of New Zoaland' seamen when invalided abroad from New Zealand ships. Tho Seamen's Union has now been informed by the Marine Department that it is in receipt of odvico from tho Board of Trade that arrangoments have been mado so that tho payment of tho balance duo to such seamen will bo made on arrival in New Zealand without previous reference to England for authority to do so. In tho caso of the seaman of tho Wajitomo, he was required to wait about, two years beforo he could get his money. The reform will be much appreciated by seafarers of Now Zoaland who go over■sea^
