Yesterday the schooner Aratapu arrived at Kaipara from Lyttelton with a cargo of prodace, on discharge of which she loads timber back to Lvttelton. '.'' Mr. J. Barbour, of Aratapn, is building a new schooner for Messrs. Mitchelson Bros, to replace the wrecked Annie Wilson. She is to be very strongly constructed, and will no doubt prove as creditable ; to her builder as have the many vessels he has turned out. The barqneatine fianda Isle sailed from Wollongong for this port on the 6th hist. The four-masted schooner Lady Bowen, which has been laid up at Sydney for some time past, is to be put into commission again. She is now being overhauled, and will sail for Fiji shortly. The barque Nat una, which put into Hobart in distress on the Ist instant while on the voyage from Vancouver, 8.C., to Port Pirie with a cargo of timber, has resumed her voyage in charge of the chief officer, the captain not having recovered sufficiently from his injuries to proceed in the vessel. The twin - screw steamer Southwark, launched by Messrs. Denny, of Dumbarton, for the International Company, is the largest dead-weight carrying merchantman afloat. Her capacity is given at 10.000 tons. She is constructed in excess of the conditions laid down in the recent Bulkhead Committee's report, and will be absolutely uusinkable with any two—in some cases even with three hold-compartments—open freely to the sea. Her quadruple expansion machinery, fitted by Messrs. Denny and Co., is actuated by steam of a working pressure as high as 2001b per square inch, supplied from boilers fitted with "Serve" tubes, and worked under a new system of "induced" draught. By means of these features a large amount of power is obtained from boilers occupying a very small space.

THE OIRVAN. On the 4th instant the Sydney Marine Board held an inquiry into the loss of the barque Girvan. The captain, and first and second officers attributed the loss of the vessel to the shifting of the cargo. The first mentioned in his evidence stated that the coal was stowed in the 'tween decks and the lower hold. The lower hold was full, excepting a small space aft. The coal had been properly stowed, under the supervision of the mate, hy an experienced stevedore. In his opinion the coal shifted in the lower hold as well as in the 'tween decks. The barque had not as much coal aboard as she could carry. There was plenty of room for the cargo to shift between decks. He had no shifting boards for the purpose of securing the cargo. He had never heard of shifting boards being used for coal cargoes. He had not had much experience in carrying coal. There were no signs of the decks bursting, but the coal forced the main hatch. He had no fault to find with the vessel, which was in good order and well found. The statement was borne out by the other witnesses, and the Board reserved their decision.
