See English Charts, No. 1321, and South American Pilot,-part 1, 1902. Pago 333, and Supplement, 1905, pago 37. The Adclaido Marino Board lias just : passed a by-law prohibiting tho use of naked lights in ships' holds. Tho new by-law reads as follows: "That on and after Soptembor 1, 1907, all ships loaded or discharged (coal, coke, ore, and metal cargoes oxcepted) at ports in South Aus- • tralia must not use flare-ups and (or) other naked lights; smoking in ships' holds to bo prohibited." A penalty was fixed for smoking in tbo holds, and tho _ intentic of tho board is that the liability for

breach of the regulation shrill rest with the ! oifondor. and not with tho master or owner of tho ship. . News from Fiji states that tho 6toamor Bucontaur went ashore on tho main roof on tho eastern side of tho passago when leaving Suva at 10 p.m. on August 13. After tho 6teamer floated her forehold contained 17ft of water. A diver found two damaged plates, ono of which ho could put his hand through. Repairs wore effected and tho pumps set to work.

The Union Company's now cargo steamer Waihora, now on hor way out from Home, wilt mako Auckland her firet port of call in Now Zealand. Slio i 6 duo at tho northern port about tho 12th jnst, 'rim vessel then comes on to Wellington, and may bo expected thoro about the 16th.

•the vessel comes on to Lyttolton and Dun--1 cdin. In oonsoquonco of the firo which occurrcd on board the. steamer on her way out tho Now Zealand Shipping Company, local agents {or the vessel, advise that it will bo necessary to collect a genoral averago contribution of 4. per cent This 'experiences of the. British fourmasted ship Falls, of Halladale, a few years ago aro rocallod 'by the experiences of the Italian., ship Elisa, which put into Hobson's Tiay a couple of weeks ago to refit, having boon 117 days out on a voyage from Nowto San Francisco. An exchange says elio had the appcar«nce of a derelict. Everywhere was evidence of Stormy ordeals and disheartening results from the crew's efforts to preserve even a semblance of order. Aloft everything appeared ragged, while tho usual light fittings b'clow were absent. Aft, everything looked'battered to pieces, while tho reason that tho ship had put into port for repairs was. apparent. The crow comprised no fewer than seven nationalities, and hardly one of them could make himself intelligible in English. Ifc was learned that at first variablo weather mado the voyage monotonous, but afterwards terrific gales wero encountered, squalls of exceptional violence i stripping canvas from tho yards as fast.'as it could bo shown. Meantime tho wind's direction changed so often that a phenomenal cross sea. was raised, but though tho deck -was hourly flooded tho crew escaped injury. A week prior to arrival at Ilobson's Bay the ship's experiences readied a climax, wlieti a perfect mountain. of water fell aboard, smashing the wheel, gutting the cabin, tearing tho compass from its fastenings, and creating' havoo generally. This decided the master to call in at Melbourne for repairs and to renew sails.
