the Port Lyttelton, was appreciated by the stranded New Zea landers on arrival at Auckland. As a mark of gratitude ho was presented by Captain-Chaplain Bartley, on their behalf, with a gold watch and an address, engrossed by Mr Park, architect, of Onehunga, who waa a passenger on the vessel, stating' that "the paesongore who have been stranded in Sydney owing to tho dislocation of shipping between Australia and New Zealand wish to record to Captain Strickland, his officers ajid men, their apprccia.tion of the 6plcndid treatment accorded them. Tho fact that the vessel is not a passenger ship demonstrates to the passengers the inconvenience that he end members of the ship's company have been pwt to. Many of tho passengers, while in Sydney, had the gloomy outlook of remaining stranded away from their various businesses until tho Port Lyttelton had becni their rescue ship. Whilo they realised all that ho had done had been done from a paint of view of good fellowship with no reward in sight, iliey felt that it would in a small degree show their appreciation of his kindness, and remind him of their gratitude for the comfort and tho happy "times they had had while with him. They wished him. and all associated with him a future of uninterrupted success, happiness, and good health." LOSS OF PORT HARDY. STORY TOLD BY OFFICERS. An accomnt of the ioss of the Commonwealth and Dominion Line steamer Port Hardy, which was torpedoed last July, was brought to Auckland by the company's steamer Port Igttelton on Thursday. The captain, chief officer, chief 6teward, and second refrigerating engineer of tho Port Lyttelton were on ilie Port Hardy when she was sunk. The steamer was bound from Buenos Aires to Genoa with a valuable cargo of foodstuffs for the Italian Government. At 10 a-m. on July 6th a torpedo was sighted about 100 yards on tho starboard beam. Before tile holm could be shifted tho torpedo struck the vessel abreast of the engine-room. The explosion wrecked the engine-room, and probably blew in the bulkheads, as,the ehip sank steirn first in 20 minutes. The second and the fourth engineer and five of tho engineroom staff lost their lives. It is thought that they were killed by the explosion, as they wore not seen after tho torpedo struck the vessel. Tho other members of tho crew escaped in three of tho boats. Then the submarine, which had not been see®' previously, came to the surface and went alongside one of the boats. After the commander had asked a number of questions the enemy vessel made off. One of the Port Hjtdy's boats wns picked up the nest day, end the other two about three 'days later. The survivors were all taken to Gibraltar, tho nearest port. The second engineer, Mr ililler, who lost his life, wns one of the survivors of the Port Kembla, which was sunk by an explosion off Cape Farewell in September, 1917. • SHIPPING, MOVEMENTS.
