The International Labour Office has been informed of the ratification by France of the convention for finding employment for seamen. This convention was adopted by the International Labour Conference at Genoa m 1920. Any state ratifying it undertakes to organise and maintain an efficient and adequate system of public employment offices for seamen. The business of finding employmen for seamen shall not be carried on as a commercial enterprise for pecuniary gain by any person, company, or other agency. No fees can be charged directly or indirectly by any person, company, or other agency finding employment for seamen on any ship. National legislation shall provide punishment for any violation of these provisions. This convention had already been ratified by thirteen countries.

BASIC SLAG FROM ANTWERP. The King Line’s new motor ship King Egbert is expected to reach Auckland about April 4 with a full cargo of basic slag from Antwerp. The Belgium steamer Scheldepas and the British steamer Baron Fairlie are reported to have been chartered to load • basic slag at Antwerp for Auckland. No advice has been received of their sailings. The Schcl-

depas is a vessel of 5,092 tons and she was built at Hull in 1897. Her former name was the Othello. The Baron Fairlie is owned by the Hogarth Shipping Company, Ardrossan. She was built in Scotland in 1925 and her tonnage is 6,706 gross.

NEW ISLAND STEAMER. The steamer Malaka, the first of two new vessels built in Scotland for the inter-island trade of Burns, Philp, and Co., has left Panama on her way to Australia. The Malake is 180 ft in length with a beam of 31ft. and a depth of 13ft 6in, and has deck cabin accommodation for te npassengers. Captain Colquhoun is in charge. RADIO FRO MMATAROA. The captain of the Mataroa, which sailed from Wellington last Sunday morning for Southampton and London, via Panama, has sent the following radio message:—“Have experienced heavy south-easterly weather since leaving; conditions now improving; all well. FROM CANADA TO NEW YORK. Cabled advice has been received by the New Zealand Shipping Company that the Queen Eleanor arrived at St. John on March 19 from Louisberg to continue loading. The vessel will next proceed to New York to complete loading, and is to sail from that port on April 7 to discharge at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin. JAPANESE WARSHIP YAKUMO. The Japanese warship Yakumo, which has left Japan on a criuse to Australia and New Zealand, visited Auckland in February, 1924, in company with the Japansee warships Asama and Owata. The three warships arrived at Auckland from Wellington and were six days in port. They left Auckland for Noumea, Rabaul and Japan. SHIP WILLIAM MITCHELL SOLD. British rates of wages in recent years have made it impossible for many sailing ships to pay their way. and there are now very few windjammers sailing under the Red ensign. The problem of meeting costs is considered a serious obstacle in the training producing sailing ships which, with the aid of young seamen, as foreign countries, especially Germany, are now concentrating on of premiums from their apprentices, are able to earn a profit. Four big steel sailing ships are now under construction for German owners, and two, at least .are to have the old-fashioned Scottish ranterpike rig, which is proving very popular on the Baltic. The last British fullrigged ship the Wiliam Mitchell, a steel vessel of 2,035 tons gross, formerly engaged in trade between Australia and the United Kingdom, under the command of Captain J. S. Crane, has been bought by a German firm of ship-breakers. For several years she has been laid up at Home, awiting a buyer. The buTlclers were C. J. Biggs and Co. .of Londonderry, who launched the ship in 1892. The price paid by the shipbreakers was £2,100. TRANSPACIFIC MAIL SERVICES.
