The Rio Logo is aboul ready for sea, and will sail the first'favourable opportunity for Kaipara. The Jiippingham Orange lias had her stay at Fort Uhahiiei's curtailed by a week, and is now under orders to sail on Monday next for the Uhitr. Timaru, and northern port, for Homeward loading. The barrpicntine St. Kikla, 189 tons, has lieen chartered to load a cargo of limber at Whangarei for Diuiedin. After discharging a cargo of Weslport coal for the Admiralty depot, at. Frcmantlo, the Union Company';; .'learner Komita will load a cargo- of hardwood at. liunhury for Now Zealant'/ ports. The Faparoa is lo load first at Timaru. ami _ proceeds thoncc 10 Bluff, klielloii, Napier, and Wellington, sailing from the last-named port on November 19 for London. The Maoriland S'camship Ccmpany's steamer Torgatden is to be renamed Holmdale, in honour of Captain Ilolin, of that company. The ficow Eunice, 171 lons, has been chartered to load a cargo of coal at Newcastle for a .\'ew Zealand port. Captain Strang, marine superintendent for liic Union Company, proceeded to Jjyltcllon yesterday to join the Moeraki, en rente to Sydney, where he will iuspe/t the now sieamer Makura. The Shaw-Savill liner Arawa is exppc'?d lo arrive al Wellington on December 1. h'hc •-• bringing 3000 tons of cargo for that, port. 1100 tons' for Lvttelton. 170 for Auckland, and a similar quantity for Dunedin. Captain .lohn Cibb, who lias been appointed to the command of the Union Company's new steamer Makura, will on relinquishing command of the Marama for that purpose baud over the latter vessel to the command of Captain Wort-all, who U at. present in temporary command of the Waikare. During the preliminary inquiry into the circumstances attending the recent mishap to the steamer Kapiti off Cape Tcrawhiti, Mr Lidiard. the chief oflicer, said lie was on the bridge at the time of the occurrence. He elated that at 11 o'clock on Monday nisht, 19lh inst., while the Kapiti was bound from .Wellington to I'atea, she ran over some submerged obstacle, the vessel cutting across the object at right angles lo its length. The Kapiti wits tiipn between two am! a-half and three miles oil' Capo Tcrawhiti. and the Brothers light wa.s well opened up. In company with (he engineer, the male sounded the h?ld, and found no leakage. As a result of the mishap, which was apparently dtto to collision with a .submerged obstacle, the vessel had a hole knocked in one plate amidships on the starboard side, about 7ft from the. keei. A few plates arc also dented in proximity to the damaged plate, but the only repair work necessary is a patch to be placed over the hole. During a. recent pas:33o from Qucor.siow.n to New York the White Star liner Teutonic rammed and killed a big whale. The occurrence happened when iho vessel was one day out. from Queens!own. T'lio etarlxmrd engines were stopped tor fear the carcase [ might become entangled in the blades cf the. propeller and do' damage b?yoH repair. Captain Harry Smith, comir.ar.dw [ of the steamship, s-tid .he had never brforu . met ai'tvlialo that f:e;i:;d eo persistently be.nt, on'self-destruction. "We sighed him about, half a- mile off o»r starboard how," bo said, "and as Ji? headed directly across our conne £ ordered the helm to be starboarded to swing (he vessel away from him. ■ The whale appeared lo be abut 50ft in , length, and only swam the faster when ho saw us swing. We struck him squarely, and ilic starboard bow of Iho Teutonic was , 'splashed high with blood."
