The \essel is to sail probably to-day for Lyttelton and Dunedin. The ferry steamer Duchess took five tons (measurement) of condemned explosives out to Palliser Bay on Friday and dumped them overboard at about thirteen miles off the land. The explosives wore damaged a small lighter sinking a few days ago. . The Marine Department, having considered the evidence taken at the prelimin ary inquiry into the recent stranding of th« Gertie at Foxton, have decided that no further action is necessary. At 7 a.m. on May 12, when the Parthenia was on the run from Capetown to Albany, a brigantine-rigged yacht, steering east and under short canvas, was passed. A strong westerly wind was blowing at the time, and a rough and confused sea waa running. TWO 15,000-TON AUSTRALIAN LINERS The advent in Australian waters of the three new Blue Funnel liners Aeneas, Ascanius, and Anchisoa, each over 10,000 tons, has (says a Sydney exchange) evidently been attended with full measure of success Messrs Gilchrist, Watt, and Sanderson, the agents in Sydney of this line, have been advised by mail that the owners • Messrs Alfred Holt and Co.—have placed orders with British shipbuilders for two 15.000-tonnera. These vessels will be the largest yet engaged in the Australian trade, and will be constructed on lines similar to the other three. Thy will be 680 feet in length, and be specially fitted for the passenger and cargo trade. ANOTHER NEW GERMAN-AUS-TBAUAN LINER. S.S. MANNHEIM. Another full-powered high-class steamer ha* been ordered by the German-Aus-tral ian S.S. Company for the Australian trade, in addition to the five vessels of the Fremantle class ordered some time ago. The message received states that the name •elected for her is Mannheim. Like the other vessels now approaching completion in the different yards, the Mannheim will be of about 6000 tons register and a very large cargo-carrier, and is to be provided with everything necessary for prompt loadiug and discharge. She will be capable of maintaining a good speed, and of similar design to the Fremantle, now on her maiden voyage to the Commonwealth from Hamburg and Antwerp, Just when the Mannheim will be ready for sea is not yet known.
