A large steamer, bound est. passed Cap's Maria vail Diemcn early on Monday rooniins She was probably the i. «ntt »• liner Essex, which loft Vanganui roadstead Oil Thursday evening for Avonroouth, via, Las Palmas. Proud indeed is the boast laid for a [»e in the following from a Southland cx■bingo' --The Otago .Harbour Board's sa - i-age tug, at the construction of which progress is being made at T*prfc Ohalmeri* Iviilbo easilv the best vessel of her k d Houth of the Hue. Something aoout the extent of her enormous pumpnn capacity , \xiis demonstrated when one of hor recently pueked all the ivator oit of tno stranded steamer. Kowhai in an "\«cdiU ly short space of time. A poweiful staich light, to be utilised for descrying distant ouicct? at night time, will be a. feature of the modern equipment of the which is likely to be out, of tbc bmia.is bands l>v the end of this. year. " , Hip hull n'atcs ure now in position, ana e "ice modelling of the hull is JIOW apparent. Her ■ modelling is tUc siibject very favourable comment by the people wlio go to tee the iron ship being built. The Government steamer Ilincmoa is due in port from southern, lighthouses elthei to-morrow evening or Sunday morning, ins probable that the vessel vail fo' Cape CarnihcU. Farewell Spit, French Pass, The Brothers, and Jackson llcad lights on Monday. Wireless apparatus has been fitted to the following F. am', S. steamer* : r Argyllshne, Wilt-shire, Shropshire, Perthshire, Ayrshnc, Dorset, Suffolk, Somerset, ljurliam, and Jtoscommon. The i-ssex and Limerick h a^e yet to be'fitted. What is probably one of the most unusual charters reported for somo' considerable time it? the engagement just arranged loi the steamer 'John Craig. The little vessel has almost exclusively been engaged m the Kw Zealand-Australian timber trade,, but under the present arrangement she is to make a trip to Suva, carrying hardwood from I'ort Stephens. Such a cargo going forward to Fiji is 111 itself most remarkable, for it is probably the first occasion on which a full ca:;jo has been sent from New South Wales, or Australia, ior that matter; and it is doubly so by the fact of John Craig being engaged to transport it at u. time when the demand for New Zealand pine is so great as it is at present. The rate seen red by the John Craig has not transpired, but it can be taken lor granted it is a good one.
