On Saturday the latest addition to the New Zealand Shipping Company’s licet made her appearance in Wellington. This was the Remuera, which was launched from the yards of Messrs. W. Denny and Bros., Dumbarton, during June of this year. She is generally similar to the company’s Ruahino and Rotorua, also built at Dumbarton, and is 484 ft. in length, has a moulded depth of 62ft., and a depth to the upper deck of 35ft, The first-class lounge is designed in Adams style and finished in ivory white. There is an electric fireplace at the fore-end, the surroundings ol which are in marble. There is a promenade deck with an adjacent social ball, and on the opposite side there is a playroom specially provided for child passengers. The centre fore-end of the Remuera is insulated for frozen meat cargo. She is equipped with a Clayton firc-cxtiuguisbing and fumigating installation. Tho vessel is propelled by two sets of direct-acting, triple-expan-sion engines, built by Denny and Co., of tho engine works. For the quick handling of cargo tho Remuera is fitted

with six sols of davits of the Woiin ] quadrant pattern. Tho naming ceremony at the time at which she was launched was perlormed by Mrs. Rhodes, wife of Mr. A. E. O. Rhodes, a director of tho New Zealand Shipping Company’s board in New Zealand. SHIP’S OFFICERS’ COWARDICE. The British Board of Trade have issued a report ot the inquiry held at Quebec on August 8 into the collision otf Murray Bay, in the St. Lawrence, on June 28, between tho s.s. General Wolfo and the s.s. Oramnqro, which resulted in the foundering of the General Wolfe and damage to a limited extent to tho Oranmoro, The court, while commending tho seamnnlike action of Captain Hearn in directing the work ot rescue, states that he should, upon perceiving the erratiq course ot the General Wolfo, have reduced the speed of his vessel and gone full astern. Although ho issued this order it was too Into to prove effective, for it was almost simultaneous with the impact. In his tardiness in this respect ho was guilty of negligence, and tho court reprimanded him. Captain loung and first officer Odilon Fortin, who threw to tho winds the proverbial duty of seafaring men to stand by their ships, were guilty, inutile court’s opinion, ol base cowardice, and their action in leaping to safety and leaving to perish those entrusted to their care could not be denounced too strongly. Thoy_ would ho struck from the list and their certificates cancelled for ever. THE UNION CO’S. NEWEST SERVICE. Tho Union Steam Ship Company’s latest purchase, Tahiti, is to inaugurate the new Sydney-Wcllington-San Francisco service, and is timed to sail from Sydney on December 9. The veesol will arrive at Wellington on December 13, and will sail on the following day for San Francisco, via the Island port, where she is due on January 4, 1912. The second boat will bo tho Maitai, which will leave Sydney on January 6 and Wellington on January 12. The Aorangi will follow, and will leave Sydney on February 3 and Wellington six days later.
