GENERAL NOTES The schooner Britannia sailed yesterday morning for Dog Island and Ruapuke and returned from the latter at 4.10 p.m. with a cargo of sheep. The Scout sailed for Stewart Island at 10.55 a.m. yesterday with general cargo. Rain interfered with operations on the waterfront yesterday and as a result three vessels remain in port. Of these the Union Company’s intercolonial cargo steamer Waitaki should finish working and sail today for Melbourne and the same company’s Wainui for Dunedin and northern ports. The liner Ruahine will be in port till the week-end. Hie Union Steam Ship Company ae.vlses that the Poolta will leave Westport today for Bluff where she is due on April 15, to y complete discharge of her cargo of ctxd. , Advice has been received from the .’ Union Steam Ship Company that the R.M.S. Rangitane is expected to leave Port - Chalmers tomorrow night for Bluff to dis--1 charge 2000 tons of her London cargo and to load frozen meat and dairy produce r for the United Kingdom. 1 GRAIN FLEET RACE I A cable message from London, stating s that 44 ships are racing to Australia and to - South America to pick up grain cargoes, 1 directs attention to the importance of Australian grain exports and to the romance of t tramp shipping. At present Europe is short I of grain vessels, and is anxious to obtain e cargoes at the high rates offering. Eight ? steamers and motor-ships and six sailing ships are now loading grain in Australian 5 ports, and 40 vessels, including an obi- solete three-masted barque, are racing to Australia to fulfil wheat charters which a total more than 314,000 tons. Modern >• “economy” tramps, which were launched from British shipyards recently, are bound * for Australia in ballast to load their first e cargoes, while scarred and rusty tramp y steamers, flying the ensigns of Britain, Norway, Japan, Finland, Sweden, and China, / are heading for the Australian grain ports at the best speed possible with old ree ciprocating engines and battered Diesels, r The movements of these itinerant sea vagabonds, which are being attracted to il Australia from many points of the- com- ■; pass, will be watched by hundreds of school s children throughout the British Empire, d for practically every vessel in the grain fleet, which flies the British flag has been “adopted” by schools to improve the children’s geographical knowledge.
