It may lengthen the trip by somo 700 miles or so, in a straight line as the bird flies, but that's the way the New Zealand geographers want it; therefore sensible skippers will govern themselves accordingly. 1 When such benighted ignorance of the relative 8 positions of these islands obtain amongßt a class 2 of men whose businese it is to know better, • and who are, so to spe:;k, nrxt door neighbours, • who cm wonder at tho absurd mistakes made • by antipodean journalists.—Fiji Times. . Messrs. W. Howard Pmith and Sons have con--1 tracted, says a Sydney exchange uf November 24, with Messrs. James Jack and Co., of Liver- ' pool, to construct for them another steel steamship of the highest class ut Lloyd's, to bo ■ capable of carrying 2700 tons dead weight, or about 3000 tons measurement, upou a compara- • tively light draught of water. The vessel will have a. double bottom and several watertight " bulkheads, which will a.ld to its safety at tea. The engines will be upon tbe most modern pnn- • ciples of the compound Riirfacn condensing type, cipnblc ef developing 1300 horse-powpr. winch 1 nhould give a rato of speed, with a minimum consumption of fuol. The passencer accommodation will be in the best possib'e style, . and there will be baths, smoking-room, social hall, ladies' boudoir, and everything necessary - for the comfort and safety of those travelling. This is thn second steamship in courje of con- . struotion for Me.««r.«. W. Howard Smith »nd Sons, forming portions of their intended additions to their present fleet, all of which are or will be employed in the intercolonial service. i Captain Guiraud, of the Messagerios Maritime Company's steamer Volga gives n somewhat lengthy account, in the Hongkong Telegraph of one of the severest typhoous evor • experienced on his voyage from Japan. After describing the voyage from Yokohama, whence • he sailed on September 11th. to off Gape laa, on the morning of tho 12th, he says that they ■ proceeded until 7 o'clock in the roorninp, whon the Bqualls became heavier from the S.E.. and ■ the barometer fell 1 mm. within an hour. Preparations wore made for bad weather, and ■ at 9 o'clock a violent squall eent the barometer down 2 mm., the sea becoming more boisterous. Observing that they wern in the presence of a typhoon, and that it was impossible to make for the coast, 30 miles off, Captain Guiraud steered for the centre of the typhoon, having previously prepared to receive it. At midway it blew a hurricane, and increased in violence more and more, with the barometer at 740. and the sea breaking over tho »hip with j such force as to raise tho bridge. The baroI meter fluctuated much between the hours of 12.30 and 2.30 p.m. At 2 o'clock the sea was enormous, the captain being unable to see from one end of the ship to the other, and tbe fearful noise of she wind and sea rendered the orders to the crew difficult to understand. During the typhoon the square foresail and the two fore-and-aft sails were torn nnd split in their gaskets, the fastenings broken, and the crossbar of the helm damaged ; but by good fortune they had the necessary tackles ready to replace the ciossbar. Altogether, the Volga was tossed about somewhat roughly in this typhoon, but she appears to have been very well handled under the circuuistancf-s.
