FUMIGATION, AND AFTER. , On Monday night everything was battened I down on board the Union steamer Rosamond, and the vessel was thoroughly fumigated from stem to stern. Yesterday mom-' ing the holds presented a sight—in fact, a sight which has seldom been seen in port before—for the lifting of the hatches disclosed hundreds of rat? lying dead. From No. 1 hold alone nearly 2CO of the rodents were removed, and other parts of the steamer gave up like quantities. It is Ftated by eye-wituessos that a large-sized coal basket, capable of taking scwt., was filled in a very short space of time. AOTEA'S DAMAGE. While the Aotea, was in dock at Cape Town an examination of the hull was made, when it was found tint the most serious damage was to her forefoot and to her stern psrts (says a local paper). At the bow the curved part of the stem had been badly -twisted, and there was a craping holo in the port side, and sundry big dent:-:. The cavity had been filled in with tome material looking like coir or old mattresses. Parts of the rusty plating had been twisted into fantastic shapes. In going ashore the stern part of tho Aotea must have come into contact with a big rock, which bent it until the casting cracked and broke off, taking the rudder plate with it. but leaving tho propeller practically undamaged. The top part of the rudder and the coupling remained. A great deal of damage was done thereabouts. When ntic went beneath tho hull it- wa»; r.eer. that there were so manv damaged plates that it is almost impossible to give an exact description. Amidships the keel f-eera? also to have suffered, Many of the plates and frames were dented, and ,

water was drippinj? from the many holes in the liuU for about twenty-four hours when the dock had boon pumped empty. Many wedgca were kneeked into the cracks by Ihe divers; hut still the Aotea must liavo lea lie:! like a sieve, and one cannot hut congratulate the Kilvor.s on the succofs attending their cll'orta. Except for the hiir holes at the how and stern, there seems to be no rc.i.son why tlie Aot ea should not be speedily patched up; hut making a iinished job of the whole is quite another matter, and miivt take ;-;omc months of hard work. Mr. J. JTealey. chief engineer of the Mapourika, signed oft' the vessel yesterday, and lis awaiting orders at Wellington. Mr. I Wiekes. late chief engineer of the Wainui. I relieved him. I At 9.30 a.m. yesterday, the New Zealand I Shipping Company's steamer Whakatanc ! cleared Auckland for Loudon, via Monte I Video. ; On Friday the Waimea is expected at Wei- . linpton from Nelson. She leaves on the ! same day for Nelson and West Coast ports. 1 It- was hoped to dispatch the Shaw, SaviH steamer Kia Ora for Hisborne, Auckland, and London to-day. Loading operation!?, however, will not he completed in time, and, consequently, she is to eet away at daybreak to-morrow, Captain Rodger, of the Gertie, and Captain Mauley, of the Himitangi, took command of their respective >es?sels yesterday. Thc.v exchanged ships some time aero, and have not been able to meet until yesterday.

At 1 a.m. yesterday, the Araliura. arrived at Westport from Grcymouth, > and left again at 4 p.m. for- Nelson, Picton, and Wellington. She leaves Nelson at 8 a.m. to-day, and should make port between 8 and 9 to-night. During the year 1910 the number of alien seamen serving in British ships who took out certificates of naturalisation was 133. Of these 32 were Swedes, 22 Danes, 24 Germane, 29 Norwegians, 10 Russiaus, and the remainder natives of Austria-Hungary (5), France, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, Portugal, ltumauiin, Switzerland, and Brazil (1 each), Greece, Spain, and the United Stales (3 each), and the Netherlands and Japan. (2 each).

Upon completion of her overhaul at Port Chalmers, the Pukaki leaves for tho nest Const—probably thin week.

News has been received of the death of Mr. M'Cormick. chirf engineer of the Man a-, pouri, who was killed through falling down the hold of the steamer at Suva. Mr. M-Cor-mick was formerly chief engineer of the Kaiiuna, an-d left that vessel at Ly.telton about two months ago to join the Manapouri at Melbourne. He wa3 lar officer, and-much regret will bo felt at his sad end. Ho leaves a widow and family in Sydney.

Captain A. Cooper has resigned from the Union Company's service, lie was formerly master of the traininp ship Hartford, and, more recently, was chief officer of the Malieno and Monowai. !

Mr. J. W. Walking has been promoted to the position of marine superintendent of the Union Steaui Ship Company at Lyttelton.
