Trouble is again being experienced at Fremantle, owing to the demands of the members of the Lumpers' Union- Tho discharge of a steamer's cargo was be-

gun. on tho Htli Inst, with the usual gear, including lialf-ton baskets, but tne men refused to continue with these baskets, notwithstanding that in the Federal Arbitration Court case tie'- judge refused a rule lor their discontinuance, as asked in the lumpers’ plaint. TRAWLER’S ODD EXPERIENCE. An adventure befell tho crew of the New South Wales Slate trawler GununUaui recently. Air A. J. Cross, master of the vessel, has reported to the general manager of tho trawlers that at 8 o'clock in the evening as lliev were about to heave up tho trawl, tho ship slowed down, owing to net striking some obstruction. "We hovo up at once, and. ou getting the net up. wo found the jawbone and about 15 feet of the backtjono of a whale in it. Wo lifted this to tho water’s edge, but could get it no higher, as the jawbone alone measured fully 13ft by 10ft. We managed to get a strap round it, and lifted it clear of the net. The jawbone weighed fully two tons.” "The net was badly torn, but not beyond repair. If the hot had not been a new' one it would never have lifted it.” Air Stead considers it probable that the whale was a victim, to the great "killers” or killer whales, which frequently operate on this coast, and that the “jawbone” referred to would bo tho upper jawbone with attached skull. Probably the remains wore those of a humpbacked whale. PASSENGERS FROM ISLANDS.

WANGANUI MISHAPS. Two shipping mishaps occurred at the Wanganui town wharf shortly beioie midnight on Sunday night, the Harbour Board's small punt, laden with coal, being swamped, and the tug logo getting adrift and becoming jammed under the town bridge. It appears that both occurrences " ere discovered simultaneously. ihe logo was caught by the funnel in the bridge superstructure, and the Hood tide caused tho vessel to take a big list. The tug’s whistle was sounded for assistance, but in the meantime a few of the wharf staff managed, by pulling on the towline, to get the tug into a safer position and out of danger. A Alaori launch was moored beside tho Togo earlier in the evening, and H is surmised that when tli© > launch left towards midnight the natives inadvertently' let go tho tug’s stern line, causing the Togo to swing round.
