The 1927 total is a considerable decrease, as compared with the same period of 1925, when 99 vessels of 607,00’J net tons transited the canal. 'iris de-tease, however, is attributed entirely to tanker traffic, as 13 tankers transited the canal as against 2 lin 1925. NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Marine Department, Wellington, desires attention to be drawn to the working lights used by fishing vessels when engaged in fishing on coasts of New Zealand, and to the distance from which they may be seen under varying conditions of visibility and elevation. In some descriptions of fishing in which it becomes necessary the surface of the water in the vicinity of a fishing vessel should be »llumir#ted, lights of unusual brilliancy may be used overside at some elevation for that purpose. In such cases the lignt shields or hoods may enable the lights to be seen occasitnall yonly, and with a semblance of regularity owing to wind or wave motion. When such lights are seen care should be taken to ensure they are not confused with lights used on shore or afloat for the purpose of the navigation of ships. QUEEN ELEANOR LEAVES ST.
