Katrine has done some fast sailing during her career in the Victorian trade, but her latest performance eclipses anything before to her credit amongst the fast ships in the Australian trade. The record is 71 days from Belfast Lough, or 69 days from Tuskar, a performance that speaks for itself. The best week's work was 1748 miles, and next to this was 1632 miles, then ICW miles, 1608 miles, 1542 miles, and 1516 miles. The three best days' runs were 300 miles, 301 miles, and 309 miles. This excellent work was discounted to some extent, however, by light airs and calms met with for nine days north of the equator, and where the days distances dropped to the disheartening totals of '20, 21, '22, and 24 miles. The same provoking drawback was experienced to the westward of Cape Otway, where light easterly weather set in for four days, and the runs fogged were 74, 08, and 66 miles.

THE WRECK OP THE JUST-IN-TIME. The following is the statement of Captain Johnson regarding the wreck of the schooner Just-in-Time off Smoky Cape recently, while on the voyage from Sydney to the Tweed River :—The Just-iu-Time was a schooner of 102 tons, built at Norway in 1884, and owned by Mr. T. Davis and the captain. She carried a crew of six all told. The schooner left Sydney having on board 106 tons of iron rails, 22 tons of cemont, 20 tons coal, and 6 tons of chaff, all for the Tweed River. The vessel had a fair wind on starting, and made a good run to Port J tephens. She was off that point when the weather became squally from north-east and retarded progress. In the evening the weather became worse, and a squall, which struck the vessel, split three sails and carried away one of the shrouds of the forerigging. The sea also became very confused, and the vessel laboured and strained heavily for a time, when it was found that the vessel was leaking, one of the crew rushin? aft and reporting the water in the forecastle. The chief officer, Mr. Niemetin, who was at the wheel, immediately went forward and found the water level with the flooring of the forecastle, tho vessel seemingly sinking fast. All hands were called, and the captain, find ins it impossible to save the vessel, had the boat put out, and the schooner was abandoned. The water was then fairly pouring into the vessel. The crew only got clear in time, for half an hour after they took to the boats the schooner foundered. She took a violent plunge forward and disappeared head first. The crew immediately made for the shore. The wiud was off the land, and they had an exceptionally hard pull of ten mile 3. The Macleay river was made, but, in consequence of the heavy roll on the bar, it was not deemed prudent to enter the river, and a course was shaped for Trial Bay, where a safe landing was effected. The crew saved most of their effects from the vessel. They remained at Trial Bay when they joined the tug Volunteer, und arrived at Sydney safely. The Just-in-Time, which was insured for £800 in the Canton Insurance Company, was valued by the captain at £1100.

ACCIDENT TO THE STAR OF ENGLAND. Yesterday the Tyser Company's steamer Star of England put into Wellington, to effect some repairs to her machinery. The steamer has been loading frozen meat at Wanganui for Loudon, and something went wrong with a portion of the refrigerating machinery while at anchor in the roadstead at that pore on Tuesday last, necessitating her calling at Wellington for repairs. She was to have gone to the Bluff from Wanganui, to complete her loading for London.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND. With reference to the accident to the steamer Duke of Sutherland, a report from St. Vincent V.), dated February 28, says: —British steamer Duke of Sutherland towed in here by British steamer Handel, with shaft broken and leaky ; afterhold full of water ; distance towed, 600 miles.
