The schooner Joseph Sims, favoured with a moderate S.E. wind, left Duncdin yesterday morning for Kaipara.

The southern trader luvcrcargill arrive! at Duncdin from Invoreatgdl yestorda; iiior.tiiig, and wiled again in the aftcmooi for the same port

Tho Kotare arrived from Oamavti at 6.30 a.m. yesterday, and went alongside tho sheerlogs to have a new crank put in and a mast lit tod.

Mr Drydi'ii has rejoined the Talunc as «-c;-o!id olßcor after leave of absence, and Mr I/. Robertson, who was acting Second, resumes his position as third. Captain Drewett joined thoKaiapoi at Auckland, in place of Captain Rcnaut, who has been granted 'cave of absence.

Tho scow Maroro is said to be waiting al Newcastle to obtain a load of coal for Wan ganui.

Tho Moana, which is duo here on Monday from Melbourne, will remain for one day only, instead of two. This will allow -two days al Wellington for additional coaling, rendered necessary by tho Newcastle coal strike. On arrival at Sydney, on the 30!h inst., the vcsol will withdraw from the intercolonial service, and take tho Marama's running to Vancouver. The Now Zealand Shipping Company's Tuiakiua, which left London on September 30, and reached Wellington on Tuesday last, brought 400 passengers. After leaving Capetown for llobart two men were stationed on the Turakina to take turn about ut u continuous watch for any traces of the overdue Waralah. No objects suggestive of the fate of the vessel were observed. The' steamer will probably lcavo Wellington for Lyttcltoii to-day. Slkj will discharge about 3255 tons of general cargo at Wellington, and the balance at Lyttolton.

Th<s Shaw-Savill liner lonic, which is at present at Lyttolton, was in communication by wireless telegraphy, with the third-class

cruiser Pioneer during the warship's run to Akaroa. Two messages wore recorded on tho lonic's instrument, with accuracy and completeness. When the vessel arrives at London the necessary gear for the Fending of messages will probably be installed—at present the lonic has no transmitter.

The Tysor liner Star of Scotland, which had a hairbreadth escape from disaster through encountering a large derelict at

night-time during her voyage across the Southern Ocean, is due at Wellington about the 30th inst.

HEAT IN THE'RED SEA

A returned passenger to Wellington (Mr R. J. Dickie), who travelled to Australia by

the Orient liner Osterley, states that the heat in tlio Red Sea during the hot days was very great. Four people died and 27 fainted on the second day after leaving Port Said. The temperature reached 119 degrees in Mr Dickie's cabin. Those who

died wcro buried at sea, the burials taking place a couple of hours after death. Each

body was launched. over the bows, out of eight of the passenger decks, a short scr-

vice only being read by the captain or one of tho officers. A number of people refused to leave the docks at night, anil mothers sat up all night on'the boat deck fanning their babies to keep the breach of lifo in thorn, while they themselves wero gasping I for breath.
