Both aloft* and to the hull damage was done, it, being discovered on her arrival that her bottom plates had been cracked and broken, and their was urgent necessity for her being dry docked as Boon as possible.

McAlister). hie Wollongtur, in command of Captain .I. IT. Hunter, is to replace the Orara on tho Byron Bav trad?, and will be among the finest, of her class in Australian waters.

AN UNUSUAL RECORD. Something like a record is to be credited *0 the British-owned ship Queen Elisabeth, winch is now bound to Wellington and Sydney from New \ork with a big consignment of ease oil. The record is associated with her arrivals and de- | partures an l her engagements to the Vacuum | Oil Company. It seems' that for three years in succession she has left Great Britain about the same date, reaching New York each year about j the same time. On the three occasions she has [loaded case oil for the Commonwealth, and was despatched from New York during the month of j October on each occasion. In 1909 ehe dis- | charged at Melbourne, arriving there or. January 17, and the following year discharged at Sydney, I which port she arrived at on January 15. Ship- ! ping identities are therefore watching the preI sent voyage with -more then ordinary interest, 1 for a great » feat of regularity will be accomplished 1 should tho ship reach Sydney in. January, 1912. | That, she will <!o so is unlikely, for the call to be j paid st Wellington and the time she will take to. I discharge there makes it almost an impossibility I for the voyage to be accomplished in the time. PASSENGERS For; . NEW ZEALAND. 1 (from orn o« cc'Rf.!jspo^dext,] Loxdoh, October 27.
