The Rosamond is expected to arrive from Onehunga at 9 a.m. to-morrow. At Moturoa she will load about 'MOO crates of cheese for transhipment to the Morayshire, for West oi iiugianu ports. EFFECT OF BOUNTIES. The French barque Max, which has been chartered to load at Hastings Mills for Sydney, obtained 50,000 francs, or about IGjUUO dole, for the voyage from London to Vancouver from the French Government. Naturally under these conditions French owners desire to keep their ships at sea as long as possible, and for this reason French vessels frequently make long trips in ballast to earn the bounty. In the case of the Max, instead of proceeding to Vancouver, via Capo Horn, the shortest route, the vessel was taken via the Cape of Good Hope and Hobart, because the more mileage she covered the more bounty she would get. Even under these conditions the Max made the passage in 154 days. The Max sailed from London to Hobart in 83 days. After a stay of five days at Hobart the Max proceeded to Vancouver, making the trip to Royal Roads in 63 days, or 146 days actual sailing time. Mr. A. J. Lockie, late second officer of the Tofu'a. has been promoted to the position of chief officer of the Kotuku. Lloyd’s agent- at Sonrabaya reports that tho Whang Ho had been passed on the south coast of Sumatra, ashorb and full of water, no persons 'being visible on board. This vessel (a Chinese junk) has provoked much curiosity. She left San Francisco on January G, 1908, titled as an exhibition of American goods, with the object of visiting various ports. She was beard of at Thursday Island, Torres Straits, about eight months ago, and was afterwards reported to have been driven towards tho ■ oast of Java. The next nows was that ;-lie had sailed from Sourabaya on August 6 for Fort Natal and Galveston . United States). Now, four months afterwards, she is found abandoned near her port of departure. The New Zealand Times states that the Blackball Coal Company has ordered a new steamer, a facsimile of the Ngahere (1090 tons), the new. heat to bo delivered in New Zealand in August next. Mr. J. R. Jeffrey, chief engineer of the Ngahere, left for Homo by tho Rnahine on Thursday to bring tho. now steamer out.
