The Canterbury Shipping Company’s motor-vessel Breeze arrived from Wellington yesterday afternoon. After discharging 360 tons of cargo she loads 120 tons and is expected to complete and sail about 5 p.m. today to return to the north. Included in her cargo for discharge were ten motorcars. The Union Company's vessel Waimarino, which left Auckland on October 15, is expected to reach Bluff today and will sail again today for Dunedin, Timaru and Picton. The Karetu is to load at Newcastle on October 27 and is to complete at Sydney for Bluff, Dunedin, Timaru and Lyttelton. She is expected at Bluff on November 1.

The Ruahine left London on September 9 and is due at Wellington on October 26. The Mataroa, which left Wellington on September 11 for the United Kingdom, arrived at Southampton last Friday afternoon. The Waiwera, which left Auckland on September 14 for the United Kingdom, arrived at London last Friday afternoon. RUSSIAN SHIPPING An article in the Svenska Pressen announces that in future the Soviet Government, which in the past has extensively chartered British and Scandinavian tonnage, will employ its own ships. The Soviet mercantile fleet has now grown to such pro-
portions that Russia is enabled seriously to compete in the world’s freight markets. A big number of modern motor-vessels is .at present under construction in Russian shipyards, and it is estimated that the present tonnage will be doubled by 1939. ROMANTIC ISLAND TRADE Recently, in addition to the Triona and Triaster, which are regularly employed carrying phosphatic rock from Ocean Island and Nauru, several other ships—the Willandra, Silksworth, and Thistlebank—have been employed. This little known but romantic trade is of vital importance to Australia and New Zealand, where artificial fertilizers are used so extensively. And the fact that an unprecedented number of ships is coming to Melbourne shows that the trade is expanding (says an exchange). The phosphates in these islands is exploited by British Phosphate Commissioners, a company which embodies British, Australian and New Zealand interests. The Triona and Triaster are remarkable for their yacht shaped bows. Powerful windlasses are built in the stems, and these and the overhanging bows enable the ships to lift the moorings, which are placed in about 180 fathoms of water off shore. These motor-ships, which carry about 40 passengers—mostly company officials—have British officers, Filipino seamen and engineers, and Chinese cooks.
