NOTES. THE LATE CAPTAIN FRYATT. I.M.S. GUILD'S TRIBUTE. The Imperial Merchant Service Guild according to Information received by Captain Mark Breach (says the Sydney "Shipping List") lias dispatched the following telegram to the widow of their lab' member Captain Charles Fryutt:— "Words cannot convey to you the disgust we feel at the most despicable crime yet perpetrated by Germany. The whole of the Merchant Service join with me in sympathy for you and in mourning the loss of our member, Captain Frvatt, whose name as a hero and martyr of Hie profession to which he belonged will be banded down to generations of seafarers." The murder of Captain Fryatt will not deter lor one moment the captains and officers of the Merchant Service from carrying out their duties with the loyalty and zeal that has characterised them' lor generations and especially distinguished them during the present war, in fact the minder of Captain Fryatt will only make our merchant seafarers more determined than ever to frustrate the attacks made by the enemy upon on, unarmed ships. The liner Delp-'i'e from Liverpool has ben further delayed at Wellington and is not now due unti' to-morrow. She pro ceeds south on Saturday. The Wimmera arrived from Wellington this morning, bringing transhipments ex the Arabia, Indianic, Essex, Zcalandia, I oongana, Dimboola, Walton Hall, Port Lincoln and Karmala. The principal lines are as follow:- 25 cases tobacco, 70 cases lemons, 493 packages bottles, (31 bags onions 39 bales rubber goods, 110 crates cycle parts, etc., 301 cases sulphuric acid, 81 cases tinware, 2(i(! cases cream of tartar, 95 cases fruit, 27 cases enamelware, 203 bales paper, 198 boxes nails, 521 cases separators, 54 cases separator chains, 18 cases desiccated cocoanut, Hi cases fibre, 1157 sacks, gypsum, i and sundries.

Tlk> John is due :it Lyttclton to-morrow from Tlmaru to load for Wellington ami Wanganui. Captain Kidman is now in command of the liner Kuniara in place of Captain Greene. Captain W. 11. Platts, of the Kini, has left that vessel on holiday leave, and Jfas been temporarily succeeded by Captain 1). Macdonald. Mr G. dc la Roche, late chief steward ol the Wanaka, has gone into camp. Mr S. li. Pitcher, purser of the Mararoa, has come ashore. The Hoard of Inquiry concerning the Stormbird wreck sat at Wanganui on Saturday morning, when the apportioning of costs adjourned from last Tuesday was considered (says the "Post"). Counsel addressed the court, quoting English precedents, and arguing that the captain's costs should he paid. After a brief consultation the court delivered judgment as follows:-Hitherto no costs have been allowed in such cases. There is nothing legal or statutory that cx- , prcssly allows expenses of the captain to be paid. The court does not see its way : to make an order for the payment of costs to the captain, but is quite prepared in view of the position taken up by the Hoard of Trade to make a recommendation to the Marine Department to allow the captain a certain sum. The amout recommended was tlxed at £lO 10/-, after Mr Marshall had pointed out that all witnesses' expenses had been paid. The names given to the vessels bought in London by Mr Hughes on behalf of the Commonwealth have been made public, words beginning with "Austral" having been coined for the occasion. Opinions as to the euphony of the names may diifer. The vessels and their new names are as follow :—Straithairly (Australpool), Strathavon (Austral ford). Stralhbeg (Australmount), Strathdee (Australgrange), Strathendrick (Australdalc), Strathesk (Australbrook), Strathgarry (Australbush), Strathleyen (Australcrag), Strathford (Australglen), Strathspey (Australpeak), Ardangorm (Austral port), Ardanmhor (Austral plain), Kirkoswald (Australmead), Vermont (Australfleld), Dallon Hall (Australstream). The Manuka, which arrived at 7.10 a.m. to-day from Sydney, via Wellington, brings transhipments ex the steamers St. Albans, Kooyong, Mataram, Kotsu Main, Wakatipu, the principal lines being:—26B bundles palings, 453 pieces timber, 100 bags ground bark, 1(10 pipes, 155 cases soap, lit) sacks Hour, IS bags cocoa, ill cylinders gas, 25 casks shale oil, 100 bags bottles, 10 eases emulsion, 22 poles, 25 boxes mineral waters, 150 cases assorted fruit, 05 cases safety matches, 018 bags salt, and sundries. THE GREAT COALING POUTS. According to an article in the June "Har-per's-Magazine," there are about 110 coaling ports scattered over the seven seas, from Panama, lying in strategic position at the Canal entrance to the remote South Sea Island port of Apia, and none so cele- i brated on all the waterfronts of the world as Gibraltar, Port Said, Colombo, Shiga- I pore, and Nagasaki, on '.be main trade route to the Orient. For ships London bound on the long, 11,000 mile voyage from the Far Last, necessary stops are regularly made at these ports by both crosssea liners and plodding cargo-carriers. Port Said was unheard of, and Nagasaki was unvisitcd by the seafaring men of the. lull-rigger age, for trade routes and ships have changed since the tea-clipper left Whanipoa and made London without calling at a port. The present-day mail steam er, making 1H knots an hour, is unable to I carry sulile.ient coal for a 11,<I00 mile passage without renewing the supply in wayside ports; and the modern tramp steamer, I built to carry as much cargo as can be I stowed, and barely enough coal to drive j the engines from one coaling port to the i next, is in the same predicament. Huge supplies of coal are kept in all these pxnts for the needs of arriving shipping. At Port I Said, for instance, 1,000,000 tons of coal are, landod each year from colliers which ,' daily arrive from England to supply the shipping which passes through the Suez I tUir.nl.
