GENERAL NEWS. CARGO FROM NEW YORK. Under charter to the Commonwealth and Dominion Line, the steamer Manchester MerchanTis to sail from New York during December with case oil and general cargo for discharge at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton and Dunedin. GERMAN STEAMER PASSAT. The German steamer Passat is reported to have cleared Galveston ,Texas ,on 27. and Barbados on October 10, for Fremantle. Geelong and Auckland. The Passat is 6.582 tons gross. She was built in 1920. at Che*.-tow by the Monmouth Shipbuilding Company. Her first name was the Silo. NILE CHARTERED. Advice has been received that the steamer Nile has been chartered to load 4,000 tons of sulphur ”at Galveston, Texas, for Av m ’dand. The vessel is expected to leave Galveston on December 9. Although no advice has been received, it is possible that the vessel will have sulphur for other New Zealand ports. S2ITISH MOTOR-SHIPS. A question of great interest to shipbuilders and shipowners has been raised by Lord Inchape. chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental and the British India Steam Navigation Companies. Lord Inchape does not think that because British owners are not ordering motor-ships so largely as others the British merctantile marine is falling behind in efficiency or in its up-to-date character. His contention is that no good purpose is to be served by substituting motor-ships for steamers unless it can be shown very rlearly that the latter are so much out-of-date as to b* unprofitable =on service. SITHONIA HERE. The tramp steamer Sithopia arrived in the Wanganui roadstead yesterday with a cargo of sulphur from Galveston, Texas. The Sithonia left Galveston on September 24 and cleared Panama early last month. Good weather was experienced the other side of the canal, and the vessel the tropics before the south-east trades. The sea was calm, with the wind moderate, so that the vessel was well up to time. Nearing New Zealand, however, she encountered ; ’ severe cyclone amt tor forty-eight hours did 1 not make more than three knots. This delayed the vessel’s arrival by nearly two days. The Sithonia was built in 1901 for the Hamburg Amerika Line, and for many years was engaged in the Eastern trade. After the war, however. Germany was forced to hand f her over to the British in accordance with their reparation agreements. She is now ; controlled by H. M. Thompson, of London, I and has been engaged since 1920 as a tramp. Captain S. Anderson is in command, and i the following are his officers Chief ,Mr J. 5. Stracnau; second. Mr J. McClure; third, Mr IL Hoper; chief engineer, Mr J. L. Nicol ; second, Mr H. Wilson jthird, Mr A. White: fourth. Mr W. D. Wilson; fifth, Mr W*. Kellis; wireless operator, Mr R. Hayes; cadets, Mr D. Hopton and Mr J. Phillips. The officers are Scots, the firemen Chinese and the deck hands a cosmopolitan crowd, including Russians, Americans and Estonians. The local agents, Messrs C .F. Millward and Company, expect that the Sithonia will have completed the discharge of the sulphur for Wanganui by next week, when she will be dispatched for Sydney to complete.
