The Union Company (through Mr L. Coupland) has chartered the barque Bells to load coal at Newcastle for Wellington, following the barque Asia. A new mainmast for the ketch Clematis will be brought up from Lyttelton, and, after it has been placed in position, the little vessel will continue her voyage to Havelock, where she loads timber for Lyttelton. It is expected that the ketch will be ready for sea in a fortnight's time, and it is unlikely that she will go on the slip here, as any additional necessary repairs are to be effected at Lyttelton. The barque Akaroa, which arrived at Lyttelton from Barry a few days ago, brought out a cargo of coal, and a quantity of this will be transhipped into the Gothic's bunkers for use on the Homeward voyage. When the barque Phyllis arrived at Lyttelton from New York early in the week, the Health Officer on examining the crew found that there were several cases of scurvy on board. After the sufferers had been taken ashore to the Hospital the barque was taken into port and berthed at the wharf.

The barquentine Coquette, which stuck on the Wanganui Bar while being towed out by the Huia, was got off and taken back to Wanganui by the s.s. Waitara on the next tide. An enquiry into the circumstances connected with the grounding of the vessel was to have been held at Wanganui yesterday. A Russian squadron is shortly expected in the Pacific, and will in all probability visit the principal ports of New Zealand. It will consist of an ironclad, six first-class and two second-class cruisers, six gunboats and seven torpedo vessels—in all 22 vessels. Admiral Alexcjiff will have command of the squadron. Cable advice has been received of the arrival of theMorayshh-e at Fremantle, W.A., on the 14th iust. After calling at Albany and Sydney the steamer proceeds Homewards via New Zealand ports, sailing finally about January 12. It is hard to believe that the speed of a sailing vessel can lie increased by boring holes in her sails, but an Italian sea captain claims to have conducted experiments which go a long way towards proving it. His theory is that the force of the wind cannot fairly take effect on an inflated sail because of the cushion of immovable air which fills up the hollow. To prevent the formation of this cushion, the captain bored a number of holes in the sail. These holes let through the air which would otherwise have been retained in the hollow of the sail, and allowed the wind to exercise its whole power by striking fairly against the sail itself. Several trials of this device have been made, and it has been found that in a light wind a boat with ordinary sails made four knots, while with the perforated sails she covered five knots and a quarter. In a fresh breeze she made seven knots witli the ordinary and eight knots and three-quarters with the perforated sails, and in a strong wind she made eight knots with the old and 10 knots with the new sails,

The Government of Western Australia has notilied that the light from the lighthouse now in course of erection on Cape Leuwiu will be exhibited on and after the 10th December, 1896. The Marine Department has been advised by telegraph that a ship's life-buoy, painted white, has been found floating in the sea near Farewell Spit. It is to be forwarded to Wellington for identification.

Mr Fred Evison, who is engaged m the fishing trade at Napier with the steam-trawlcu- ToTea, has purchased the yacht Wenona (which Kris m&a laid up on the patent slip for the past two years),- and has renamed her the Flora. It is understood tnat. Mr Evison intends to cater for the Wellington public, and will bring his Napier steam-trawler to this port, replacing her by his latest purchase—the Flora. , . A deputation representing the Shipmasters Association" has interviewed the secretary of the Marine Deuartment, to protest against the enforcement of the" Act which provides that foreign-going sailing vessels, built wholly or partly of iron, should have their co.npasses adjusted before leading New Zealand ports. Mr Glasgow said that the department could not interfere with an Act of Parliament, but he promised to lay the representations of the deputation before the Government. Mr Rawnsley and the other officers of the Grafton Will go across to Tasmania in that steamer, with Captain Rolls in command. It is expected that she Will be ready to leave on Thursday next. Mr Ridley, late of the Mawhera, goes in the steamer as FI At l Wellirigton the Star of England shipped 10,100 ca-rcascs of mutton. The Japan Steamship Company's (iNippon Yushen Kaisha line) s.s.

The Company owns G 5 steamers, ranging from 500 to (3000 tons ; and in addition to these vessels there are six large steamers now being built, each of 0000 tons, in English and American yards. ! A terrible accident at sea was narrowly avoided off Cape Flattery on September 15th. The Chilian barque Lake Lcman, on a voyage from the West Coast of South America to British Columbia, was run into by the Italian barque Lazzaro, from Tort Pirie. A dense fog enveloped the waters, and neither vessel was aware of the proximity of the other. Suddenly, and without warning, the vessels struck each other on the forward quarter's, tearing off the fore-rigging from the Lake Lcman, and shaking up both vessels. The Chilian vessel suffered damage to the extent of .£4OO, and the injuries to the Lazzaro would be about .£IOO. The master of the Lazzaro lowered a boat and sent it to the Lako Lcman with offers of assistance. The offer was declined, as the captain thought his vessel could safely reach her destination. Royal Roads, where she subsequently safely arrived. Messrs Thoriieveroft and Co., of Chiswick, made an addition to the Royal navy on September 25th by the delivery of the new torpedo boat destroyer Desperate, which is fitted with engines of 5100 horsepower, propelling her at the rate of 30 knots per hour. . . The ship Soukar, Captain Carden, from Liverpool for Wellington, was spoken on September Gth, in lat, 42 N, long. 11 W. A novel allegation against British shipowners, made upon the authority of an unnamed Norwegian newspaper, is quoted in the report of the British Vice-Consul at Stavanger. The charge is that old ships " which the Board of Trade refuses to take undor the British Hag " are registered as Norwegian vessels by their British owners, and that after being repaired and classed in the Norwegian Veritas, they are thrown upon the market to compete with the genuine Norwegian article. It is added that many of these English owners have a wide connection, and, therefore, can secure quick despatch; that they pay lower wages than usual; and that by iixing the'first freights at low rates they spoil the market for everybody else for the rest of the season. Captain G. McKinnon, of Port Chalmers, has received a letter from Captain Joy, of the ship Benmore, giving an account of the death of the late Captain Scott, of that vessel. It appears that Captain Scott had been suffering from inflammation of the lungs, and was sitting up in the cabin with an apprentice to attend to his wants. The lad 101 l asleep, and when Captain Joy, who was then chief officer, went below he found Captain Scott dead and the apprentice quietly sleeping by his side. An inquest was held on Captain Scott upon arrival at Brisbane, and the cause of death was stated to be pneumonia. Captain Scott, who was well known in Brisbane, was buried in that city, and his funeral was largely attended by shipmasters and residents. . The dismasted barque West York, which was sighted by the P. and O. steamer Malacca on her last voyage to Sydney from Japan, has been towed into Hongkong by the Norwegian steamer Hermes. News by the steamer Australian states that the West York had a terrible time of it in a typhoon in the China Sea, and was on her beam ends when the captain decided to sacrifice the spars to save her. The ship then rode to her anchor, with ninety fathoms of chain out, but with a very decided and unpleasant list to starboard, while the mountainous seas repeatedly broke over her. When the weather moderated she was taken in tow by the steamer Hermes, and taken safely into Hongkong harbour. The steamer Tarnbo, of Huddart, Parker and Co.'s line, had a rough trip from Sydney to Hobart recently. Off Tasman Island, a hard south-west gale, with mountainous sea, was encountered ; squalls were frequent, and blew with hurricane force, during which a heavy sea broke over the ship, and did considerable damage to deck fittings, and also smashed and washed away part of the deck cargo, which consisted of fruit, &c. ARRIVAL OF THE OTARAMA. Shortly before 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the New Zealand Shipping Company's cargo steamer Otarama, from London via Plymouth and Hobart, entered the harbour, and was boarded by the Health Officer (Dr James), who found all on board in good health. The vessel was then brought alongside the Queen's Wharf by Captain H.Johnson, pilot, and will commence discharging to-day. Captain R. C. Clifford date of the Tongariro) is now in command of the Otarama, and his many friends in this Colony and elsewhere will doubtless join with us in congratulating the popular officer on his welldeserved promotion. Like other recent arrivals in Australasian ports, the Otarama passed hundreds of icebergs— large and small—in the Southern Ocean. Of the voyage just imdcd, the officers report as follows:—The steamer left the R.A. docks," London, with a full general cargo for Hobart and New Zealand ports on October 2nd at 7.43 a.m., and arrived at Plymouth next day at 4.15 p.m. After embarking mails and parcels post, she proceeded onward the same day at (i p.m. Experienced westerly winds with high sea aerossthe Bay, thence fine weather with light N.E. winds through the North Atlantic. Passed Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, at 7.30 a.m. Friday, 9th October, and Cape Verde on Monday, 12th October. Crossed the Equator at 12.30 p.m. on Friday, 10th. and experienced light airs and calms until in latitude 2'jdeg S., whe_ strong S.E. winds and high sea were met with until off the Cape of Good Hope at. 3.30 p.m. Tuesday, October 27th. Thence the usual westerly to N.W. winds were encountered across the Southern Ocean. Numerous icebergs were passed in latitude -Kid'eg S., longitude GOfieg E. Arrived at Hobart on Thursday, 19th November, at 1.45 a.m., and after discharging 300 tons of cargo and landing mails, left the same day at 4.4! p.m. for Wellington. Fine weather was met with coming across the Tasman Sea, and the steamer arrivc.l in port as above. Captain Clifford has associated with him tho following ollicors :—Chief. Mr V. C. White-Parsons (late of the Rimutaka) ; second, Mr E.J. Tosswill; third, Mr M. G. Easton (late Tongariro) ; fourth, Mr A. C. Poarce. Mr Aitken is chief engineer, and under him are Messrs Evans, Herdman and .Tannings, respectively second, third and fourth engineers. Mi' McMillan is chief refrigerating engineer, and Mr Patterson second. The Otarama lia,a cornc out this voyage filling the

lime" fable dates of the usual Shaw-Savill mail steamer, but'she is consigned to tho New Zealand Shipping Coxopany. It is expected to get her away for Lyttelton about a week hence. The steamer brings 2973 tons of cargo for this port, and JlGa tons for South. " __________ ICEBERGS IN THE SOUTHERN OCEANEXCITING EXPERIENCES. Since Pse sensational experiences of the steamshin Port Chalmers, over 12 months ago, when tha« vessel sustained serious damage through colhamg with an iceberg during the darkness of night (says the Argus) a number of vessels, though not apparently being in peril, whilst eluding ice, have brought interesting if not sensational chronicles of their experiences, and judging from more recent report? navigation in the Southern Ocean h«sbeen rendered unusually difficult; during the past few months by the'plentiful rn-csence of ice. The steamship ThermopyiK' and ""the cadet ship Harbinger, as will bo remembered.- encountered some enormous bergs", one of those discerned from the decks of the formeir vessel being about fiOOfc high, and about 1003 yarcL-j long. Further report'.' to hand by the barque Jupiter and the ship British Isles, which have both reached Port Phillip esrly in the month, confirm those previously received as to this prevalence of icebergs in the Southern Ocean, these vessels having fallen in with bergs of different sizes. The experiences of the Jupicer wera Ol a Somewhat exciting character, she on one occasion being between two large bergs, and surrounded by a quantity of broken ice. during soma terrific weather, a strong ,-?ale with heavy seas contributing to render the situation very trying. I- or v., time the barque wa«- " hove-to " in. tins position, but beyond the springing of her lower tore-topsail vara she sustained no injury. Ice was first observed on the 13th of October, in lat. 43deg 10mm south and long. 5-2 deg east, and thereafter until reaching long. 73dcg east more was encountered at intervals. As one stage of her experiences the Jupiter was in company with the British Isles, biw the latter, whilst naturally meeting with similar experience.; generally to those of her companion, was mora fortunate apparently than the latter in getting a clear run. The Jupiter is from Sharpness with a cargo of salt, and the British Isles has a general cargo from New York.
