J WREOK OF THE EDWABD. 1 , A shipping casualty of more than pass- 2 lug interest, a-nd one which will oauee o some regret to old seafarers, was the & wreck of the well-known brig Edward, near Port Phillip Heads, on Sunday, September 30. Tho Edward was the sole survivor, of <j tho once numerous fleet of brigs which t traded out of Tasmanian ports to Austria i lian and New Zealand ports, and now that j sho has become a total loss, there is not a vessel of that rig ill Australian waters, t says the "Press." Up till a few years a,go, ~ the Edward was ft frequent visitor to Lyt- t tclton. Up till 1908 the idward had n companion, vessel, the Fairy Kock, alco n woll known in Lyttelton, which traded out of Hobart for ovor forty years, and which c is now ending her days as a coal hulk. In L tho "sixties" and "seventies" there were over twenty locally-owned brigs sailing out of Hobart, and some.' of thorn wero "heelers." Perhaps tho smartest of tho=o was the Greyhound. She was a heavily sparred boat, with a tremendous sheer, and masts which raked at an alarming angle. In her day she could beat anything - afloat m the Australian waters in tho / "wind-jamming" lino. Another swift craft < was the brig Wild Wave, which belonged i to Facy and Fisher, and traded to the , Chinese Seas and South America. Another d fS I ?. 0 l.l li S! lt _ I y, f , ast 6ai , li . u F brig was the ill-fated Chanticleer, which was purchased by Mossrs. Bolbin o,nd Dowdell, shipowners, of Hobart, at tho end of the sixties. She wae Baltimore-built, and had ho.nde-ome lines. In the seventies she left ilobart for Melbourne, freighted with freestone. ajid was never heard of afterwards. The beliof entertained in nautioal circles was that she opened up in a gule n.nd 1 foivndorcd. The other well-known Hobart s brigs were the Dart, Jane, Union, Louir-a, , Pivune, Sarah, Velocity, Ma.id of Erin, 1 Proepero, and Daniel Wateon. They are all now at the -bottom of the deep blue i -pa. The old-est of the northern brigs was * the Mercury, which passed out many years since. Old sailors tell one that brig rig ' was handy to work, and very popular with the old shipmasters. It was a brig that carried Nelson's dispatches containing- tho . victory of the Nile to Europe, and the ribe ' of this vcfiGel are bleaching on one of tho Tasnrn-jiian boaches. One refers to the 1 historic Jlutine, once the TasmaniaiU whaler Aladdin, In another deca-de tliore will be probably no brigs in the world. The Shaw-Savill etoamer Kia Ora. is ex» 2 pected to arrive at Wellington from Liver- , pool, via way ports, about Thursday next. i The Tyser liner TVhakarua is due at Wei- t lington from Now York, via way ports, about October 24. \ The e-teamer Wimbledon, now discharging shell case oil at Lyttelton, ic? expected to * arrive here on Thursday next. 0 It i? anticipated that repairs to the coastal steamer Gertie will be completed t in time for h?r to come off the Wellington .Patent Slip this morning. She sails for Foxton to-morrow. n Saved from tho ■wreck of the Titanic, a a fireman named Cooper, who was engaged in an American yacht named the Idler for a - voyage from Portsmouth to New York, was one of only tv-o turvivons when the yacht * was rammed and gunk by a coasting istcamer in New York Harbour. 2 The auxiliary ?.eow Echo is scheduled to " r . l?3vc Lyttelton for Karamco- to-day. From the latter port timber wil! be taken to o Blenheim, c Mcs.'rs. Dalgety .a.nd Co., local a sent? for the A. and A. Line, have been advi£od t that' the chartered steamer 'Berkenfels nrrived- c„ Molbourae from New York on • last, •tn rojiti) to .Wplltostqa calls

will be made at Sydney and Auckland. It is expected that the vessel will arrive here about November 2. The Government, steamer Ilinemoa will leave Wellington early to»morrow morning for her periodical visit to Cook Strait lighthouses. During this trip the following changes will take place amongst the lighthouse-keepers:—Assistant Keeper Cleverley will go from Cape Campbell to Castlopoint, and Keeper Chalmers, of Puy« segur Point, will fill the vacancy at Capo Campbell. Assistant Keeper Davinett, of Stephens Island, will exchange positions with Mr. Wileon, of Kahurangi Point. ' The Union Company's Haupiri is duo at Wellington from Onchunga this morning. Bho will be dispatched for Pict-on and Oneliunga at noon. Arahura, 6.?., arrived at Greymouth from Wellington, via way ports, at 1 p.m. yesterday, and was to have left on the return trip at 10 p.m. The local' office of the "Union Company has been advised by tho Gerraan-Australian Line that the steamer Hanau left Suez on October 11, and is due at Sydney on November 18. The vessel has a cargo of dried fruits on boaTd for Australian and New Zealand ports.
