The ketch left Thursday Island on December 17 for Suva, and was reported overdue. Heavy weather was encountered and this, with engine. trouble, retarded her progress. s Among the ex-enemy steamers recently disposed of by Lord Inchcnpc, the Rio . Pardo was acquired by tbe Ellerniau Lines (Ltd.), London, and renamed City of Alexandria; the Edmund Hugo Stinnes by the English and Overseas Trading and Industrial Company (Ltd.), London, and renamed Shciny; the Lubeek byufhe llain Steamship Company (Ltd.), St., Ives, and renamed Treleven; the. Alda by-the Pacific Steam Navigation Company .(Ltd.), Liverpool, and renamed Mapellan; and the Fink by Messrs Ellerman’s Wilson Line (Ltd.), Hull, and renamed Cato. The Prime Minister still clings to his ship-building programme when other nations are trying to get rid of any obligations in this respect (says the Argus). Details of transactions in second-hand shipping in the United .Kingdom disclose that steamers which a year ago would have brought £225,000, now can be purchased for .£102,000. One vessel that changed hands four years ago has been sold for £BO,OOO, and it is doubted in London If the ex-enerny shipping to bo sold will average £ll per ton. This compares with an estimate of £2O per ton, and shows how estimates have to be modified under present market conditions. It is stated that one 17,000-ton ex-German passenger liner could be secured by bids at over £lO per ton, but Intending buyers will not go above £lO per ton. An-event of some importance at Lyttelton was the berthing of the New Zealand Shipping Company’s liner PUparoa on the east side of No. 2 jfettjt, this being the first large vessel to be' taken along-' side that wharf. Nos. 0 and V jetties having been already occupied. . special perhdssion was granted to .Captain A. H. Thorpe, tire harbor master, to berth flic Paparoa at No. 2 berth, which .is still in the course of construction, although the etjst side is almost completed. On both , sides of the jetty, which is 850 ft. long, dredging lias been carried out for a considerable time, and there is now a depth of 35ft. The Paparoa, which was drawing 18ft. forward and 21ft. aft. was-taken in by the cliftf pilot, Captain T. M. Hunter, and was berthed without the slightest dllliculty.
