To-day the schooner Sarah Pile will berth at the Railway wharf, to prepare lor her trip to the Thames and Lyttelton. H.M.s. Royalist was to leave Sydney on Saturday last for Brisbane. After a short stay there, aho is to go on to Ugi, Solomon Group. H.M.S. Goldfinch arrived at Adelaide from Sydney on the 18th instant. . H.M.s. Dart and Penguin are engaged m surveying work on the Tasmanian coast. TheUnionS.S Company's steamer Poherua leaves . Oamaru to-morrow, Timaru on Saturday, and Lyttelton on Monday for this P The rudder of the Cunard steamship Campania consists of a single plate of steel ,«i by 11 feet 6 inches, and if inches thick. It was rolled at Krnpp's German gun factory. The greatest speed attained by Bulling ships, according to Mulhall, was by the James Baines, 420 miles in 24 hours, and Flying Cloud, 412, The Red Jaoket ran 2280 miles in seven days, averaging 325 miles ada|he number and tonnage of British vessels respecting whose loss reports were received at the Board of Trade during the month of February, and the number of lives lost, are as follow Sailing vessels 46, tonnage 7268, lives lost 38 steamers 11, tonnage 4497, lives lost 9, making a total of 57 vessels and 47 lives. , ~. •*. From returns just made public, it appears that the total tonnage entering and leaving French ports in 1893, amounted to 22,093,693. being a reduction of 188,393 tons compared with the previous year. This reduction is, however, much loss than that which was experienced in 1892, when the shrinkage amounted to nearly 3,000,000 tons. If the French tonnage be taken separately, the decrease in 1893 amounted to as much as 611,142 tons, while vessels under foreign flags increased by 422,759 tons. # The principal part of the foreign tonnage visiting French ports is under the English flag, so that, notwithstanding the extensive system of bounties granted by the French Government to native owners and builders, the British trader not only holds his own, but is increasing his proportion of the French carrying trade. # The Pyrenees, which has just arrived at Melbourne from Frederickstadt, reports that on the 2nd instant, in 45Jdeg. south and 147deg. east, while the ship was running before a strong north-west gale, an A.B. named Carl Jansen was lost overboard. • The man was standing in the rigging guiding the lower topsail down and was knocked into the sea. The ship was a mile away from the unfortunate fellow before the captain, who was on the poop, knew what had happened. Ho instantly put the ship about and nad a boat ready for lowering, but although a good look-out was keut from the masthead, the man could not be found. The lost sailor was 20 years of age, and a native of Norway. ARRIVAL OF THE MARIPOSA. _ 1 The Mariposa arrived from San Francisco about two o'clock this morning, some delay being caused by the absence of the Health Officer. The steamer sailed from San Francisco on April 5 at 6.40 p.m., arriving at Honolulu on the 12th at 6.13 a.m. She sailed again on the same date at 6.20 p.m., and arrived at Apia on the 19th at 5.0 p.m. She left Apia on the same day at 11.30 a.m., and arrived as above after an uneventful voyage.
THE E. L. MAYBERRY. The American barque E. L. Mayberry, from New \ork, via Port Chalmers and Nelson, which was reported outside Tiritiri on Monday night, was picked up by the steamer Invincible on Tuesday, and an attempt was made to tow her up through the Motutapu passage; but, owing to the strong westerly breeze blowing, the attempt proved futile. Yesterday the barque was reported at anchor below Waiheke, and the steamer Waitoa went down to help the Invincible to tow the vessel up. She made the harbour about 2 o'clock this morning. NAVAL ITEMS. Her Majesty's ship Hornet, torpedo-boat destroyer, has juit completed her trials, in which she maae a mean speed of over 28 knots an hour. This is a knot more than any speed previously recorded by any vessel. The Havock, the Hornet's sister vessel, on her recent trials, made only 26 knots, the increased speed being due to the troduction into the second boat of the builders' water-tube boilers, instead of those of the usual locomotive type. The Hornet, which was built by Messrs. Yarrow and Co., is, therefore, the swiftest vessel in the world. It is reported that it is the intention of the Admiralty to build at Portsmouth two Majesties and one Barflenr simultaneously, which will get over the dock difficulty and not necessitate giving an extra battleship to a private firm of contractors. The Warrior, the oldest armour-clad ship in the world, built entirely of Iron, is about -nnci *»-<*oired for service., abroad as a guardship at one oTxncrcoHTingstations. She was launched by the Thames Ironworks Company at Blackwall, December 29, 1860, and commissioned for the first time in August, 1864, by Captain A. A. Cochrane, for service in the Channel. She is to have new boilers certainly, and a new secondary battery of quick-tiring guns. A good deal of nonsense is often talked about the folly of retaining old muzzle-loaders in renovated ironclads and not giving them double screws, but, even where the construction of the ship would make these alterations possible, their cost is prohibitive for aa elderly hull. A London exchange says : —" What strange stories get about! Several papers have announced that the delay in completing the yacht Water witch, at Portsmouth, destined some day or other to relieve the surveying vessel Dart, in Australia, which was herself a yacht when she was bought into the navy, years ago, is due to want of money. Nothing of the kind. It is due to want of men. It is a positive fact that the Serveying Department has not enough officers available for even such a small craft as this, although the extra allowances in the way of pay to surveyors are very considerable."
