Every- berth in the ship was occupied, saloon, second cabin, and steerage. There were over, 1100-on-the steer.age deck.

With a view of minimising as,far as possible the dancer of accident at sea, Messrs: William Howard Smith and Sons have determined that in future all their stoamers, shall carry a second masthead light, a safeguard which has already been freely adopted by the mail comnanies. The idea- is that a vessel should exhihit two masthead lights in such a _man : ncr that they will appear as leading lights. and thus assist the "sido" lights, which are often obscured by the brilliancy,of the electric lights in deck cabins, etc... The extra light (writes the Melbourne ArErust is to be shown from tho second mast of the'vessel, but at a creator-height than" that on the first mast. The moment" that a steamer so eouinped appears in sight the observer can tell by. the ancle of the two. lights which.way she is proceedinc. At present a steamer's single masthead light can lie picked un at a distance of, eight or ten miles, but her sidelights are not. as a rule, distinguishable beyond a limit of three miles. None of the intercolonial traders have yefc, adopted -the second light, ancl the steamer Gabo will haye the distinction of making the, innovation among coasters in these waters.

ARRIVAL OF THE COROLLA. The shin Corolla, which lefti'..Liyer'pd'ol dn June 1. arrived here from Wellington on Siturday morning, and was berthed at the Rat; tray street wharf. The Corolla ijas had;a moderate passage throughout.' She. experienced unusually strong S.W. and'NAY. winds with henw cross seas after.rounding the '.Cape of Good Hone and until reaching Gap? Leuwin. After passing the latter light E. ;and S.E. winds, with fine weather, and smooth seas, prevailed until arriving in' Cook Straty. The voyage to Wellington, occupied 107 days. 15 days being occupied in, the run from' the Tasmanian raafit. She _i*rrived ini'Wfelliniton on September 20. and left.,-that p'o'.-t for Dunedin on the 2nd. inst., amyingat the heads'al 4 a.m. ,011 Friday.' The Corolla.is a steel vessel, built in Sivansea by -Potter, her net tonnage being 1264. Her-officers are as follow: — Cantain Jr-A. Bevan; chief mate. Mr H. S. Culpin; second male. Mr C. Stark. Captain Bevan. who is-a, stranger 111 New Zealand waters, has had vcVy ob.ir health durine the voyage, and issti]! far from well. The Corolla visited the polony iri'the early days as an immierrant .vessel, and therefore has a particular interest for old colonists. She carries a ireneral cariro. and had tvhen she arrived in New Zealand about 2700 tons.' For Dunedin she has about ( 1200' tons.: She expects to be clear in a fortnight, .after which her movements are uncertain, but'"'■fehe may possibly proceed to Newcastlcr to load coal for the west 1 coast of South America.
