Dacre, the local agent for the auxiliary schooner Kaeo, received advice from Captain J. H.

Sheer, W. Hodgson, A. Davidson, and W. Ardagh. *r Messrs. K. South sin! J. Cairns are chief and second respectively of the freezing department, and Mr. I£. Bowen is chief steward. ' ■ ■ It was' recently decided (says Fair lay) to fit a new high-pressure cylinder of improved design to the engines of the steamer Star of >ew Zealand, and it was important that the change should be effected in the shortest possible time, during, if possible, the discharge of her Liverpool consignment. Messrs. David Rollo and Sons, Liverpool, were approached by Messrs J. P. Ccrry and Co., the owners, as to the minimum time required, and the very short time of 10 days was named. Messrs. Hollo set to work on the vessel« arrival, and owing to their well-arranged appliances for such work and splendid organisation thev completed the change, which entailed machining and fitting all auxiliary parts, in the remarkably short period of five and a-h»lf working davs, thus giving the owners great satisfaction and earning for themselves a goodly sum in she wav of premium. Mr. A. B. Powell has rejoined the Mararoa as second officer. Captain J. U. Watson has been ap- i pointed master of the Rosamond, vice Captain A. M Edwin, who has come to Auckland to take ; command of the Kotuku, which takes the place of the Rosamond in the Wellington-Onehunga cargo service.
