She sails again to-morrow srternoon on the return trip. ; After m absence of three yean, the barque Rona returned to Port yesterday With a cargo of timber from Port Esperance. (rasniania). She was towed insido tho heads, and anchored in the lower harbour ■ and will berth this morning at Dunedin ' Messrs Neill and Co. (locai'ageuts for'the Unna. btcam Navigation Company) have re- ; ceivcd^ advices stating that arrangements ;_ liavo been made whereby passengers and tourists may now have tickets issued at Dunedin and other ports of the Dominion which mil enable them to travel over the great Trans;Siboriaii route on tickets booked at any of the company's agencies. Tho Shaw-Savill liner Maori "arrived at Dunedin on Saturday from Liverpool, via northern ports, and berthed at tho "Vicitoria ~-haj'f, whore sh* will complete tho discharge of 800 tons of general cargo for this port, and then lay up to await cargo for Homeward loading. The Kotuku returned to Port Chalmers on Saturday morning from Timaru, having buckled her foremast badly about 2ft from iho deck whilst hoisting a heavy lift. Tho Cavinna went down to Port on Saturday afternoon to Iranehip tho Kotuku's cargo for northern ports. The Kotuku wiljr go »hdcr the shcerlegs to-day to have the mast lifted out for repairs. Tho Maheno arrived at Port Chalmers ot 7 a.m. on Saturday, and steamed up to town at noon. She left Sydney on the 14th,' nn<| arrived at Wellington last Wednesday, rand made the usual call at Lyttefton on tho .way south. Moderate to fresh N.E, to E. windy and seas wero experienced to "Wellington, thelico light N.W. winds and fine to arrival at Dunedin. The Maheno Railed, from Dunedin yesterday afternoon for Jltfllxilitne, Via Bluff ailtl Ifobarr. --According to an Australian paper the Tyser liner Marere has just accomplished a fine steaming performance by travelling from Adelaide, lo Dunkirk in 36 days. This is (remarks the same authority) almost equal to mail boat lime. Mr A. . R, Barlow, who. returned from England by the Makura, is now'oliief officer of-rthe Maheno in' place of Mr Campbell, who has gone on holiday leave. Mr F. W. Jackson (late third officer of the Mamma) cajliQ oyer as passongor by tho Maheno to jouj the Uiiiofl traiging ship.

Dartford as oliief officer, in place of Mr W. W. Hendor. The Board of Trade Marine Department has just issued instructions to superintendents of" mercantile marine ■ offices to distribute to every ship master commanding vesseta carrying upwards ot 100 tons a special cede o( signals, to be used, in the event of a naval war, to signal lo British .war. vessels to assist tlicin. Satisfactory progress is (says an exchange) heinjj made with tho construction of llio now wharf at Kaikotira, but a serious drawback is' revealed in tho report of Mr .1. R. Cameron, inspector in oharge of the wharf works, There in only 6ft Bin of water in tho wcnlern berth, Whereas the chart, gives lift. A rock extends aisout 14ft along tho line of berth, and about 6ft across it. It will not lw practicable for sleamers of the Storm and Ripplo class to use the berth unioss the roek i 6 rcmoveil. The eastern berth will not bo available for steamers of larger size than Ihc-e now trading there, as there is tiot sufficient water for steamers of deeper draught lo swing between wharf and" reef.

Thus the shipping journal Phoenix: — "Tho great, success which has been so far achieved in salving Iho Gladiator stands 'out in marked contrast lo the utter failure somo time,. since of Ihe. attempts made !o salvo ihe battleship Montague. 'lhi«; we'understand, is mainly due ,to tho ,fact |hat our Admiralty, received such a sharp lesson with regard to their impotent interference and control of the Liverpool Salvage Company's operaiions in connection with Ihe. Montague, thai I hoy have allowed this experienced Kalvago Aitfceialion to have full eontrol of llio Gladiator operaliens, hence the successful mult so far in the latter case, and which also might have resulted in the former regrettable instaneo had tho practical salvors been allowed a free hand."
