WAIMATE AT WAITARA. The New Zealand Shipping Co.’s steamer Waimate is at present off Waitara loading frozen meat for Home. ANN AM DAMAGED BY SHELLS. The motor ship Annam, which will always be remembered in Australia as the pioneer steamer of the East Asiatic Gumpany’s serrico fr/im Copenhagen,

has had a narrow escape from destruction by shell fire. From the particulars received (says the Sydney Shipping List) it appears that a few weeks ago she was at anchor near Cape Helles, in the Dardanelles, discharging cargo, when four shells, eyidently fired by the Turks, Strunk her. The first demolished the .bridge, the second and third fell into one of the holds, and the fourts struck the hull below the waterline. Realising the danger, the captain at once weighed anchor and placed the steamer out of range. The Annam leaked badly for some time, but eventually the hole in the hole was patched up, and in due course the Annam left for Marseilles. Fortunately none of the crew were injured.

The Norwegian harquo Arcadia, 1522 tons register, which was formerly known as the British barque Holywood, recently loft Boston for St. John (N. 8.), after discharging a cargo of 5300 bales of woo! from East London, South Africa, for which she received £1 per bale. She will load 1,500,0001't. of lumber at St. John for Buenos Aires, at £4 8s per thousand, the highest rate paid for years. The barque, which cost her present owners £3700 three years a.go, will have earned £15,400 in freight money in about six months.
