She maintained an average speed of 25.33 1-3 knob* for, a. distance .of 160 nautical miles. ' 'For nearly two hours a speed of 36.83 knots was kept up. The Ben-my-Chree wtos btult .by Vickerst, Son and Martina;'for- the trade between Liverpool and'theVltle of Man. It has been pointed out 'that if she. ; were employed in the Lyt-tetton-WeHington service she would do the trip' between the two ports in about six hours." »-»»-. An Order jwasvjpi&etted on the 17th inst., making some alteration* in 'the' "light dHiest 1 '- payable by"~vessels trading to* and within New Zealand, from October Ist The only alteration affectum Timaru*. we- Are informed, by Mr Hawley,*OoTJpctor oT Customs, is that thV dues are made payable by "'home trade" ships coming from Oamaru,' which has not been the case hitherto.

The Kini was on that side of, the wharf, and the dredge's Ij men side chain was made fast to a wharf pile nutxide-the steamer. The chain was put round the pile joet above the water-line, go that 'ft made very little show there, and those on the steamer were nob aware of the danger. As the steamer backed out, from Jier, berth over the chain, the propeßer caughr i*, and in an instant there wa» provided an afternoon's work for a direr'and a tedious wait for the ship's company. The *rrvices of Diver McLean, of dredge 350, plant aiid crew were i««iuiM;k>n«.-d to help in clearing the screw. Th* diver spent a good time in tin ding ju*t how tlie chain was lying round the boss, and be re ported that the par'* had become overlapped so that it could not be unwound. About 4 p-m. be donned his braws helmet again and went down wRh a back saw to cut> through the chain. After a couple of hours' work McLean had got the chain cut through, and the propeller cleaied, and the *teamer got, away at 6 p.m., afu-r a delay of about four hours. THE OVERDUE LOCH LOMOND.
