CAPTAIN MORTON RETIRING. Captain A. Morton, who is in command of the Shaw-Savill steamer Mamari,. liao decided to .retire from the § sea when the vessel arrives at London this voyage, after an honourable career of half a century. When 15 years old he was consumed with the idea of going to sea, and was apprenticed to the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company in 1863, and shortly afterwards he i sailed from London in the sailing ship Napier. The ship called at Kelson early the following year, and it is a coincidence that the Mamari is to call at Nelson shortly to load on her Homeward trip, thus affording Captain Morton an opportunity of seeing .the port he first visited when a mere lad half a century ago., loiter on young Morton joined the ship Chili as third officer, and he subsectuently filled tho position of second officer on tho ship Countess of Kintore. After making s<jveroJ voyages in the latter vessel he rosigned from tho Shaw, Savill Company s service to become first officer on a Japanese-owned steamer, the first merchant vessel to visit. London under that flag. After a time Captain Morton joined the P. and O. Company, and he also saw scrvice on several of the Ellerman Compony'6 strainers. In 1687 ho rejoined the Shaw. Savill Company s service, and was appointed chief officer of the well-known clipper Westland. • Two years later he was appointed to the command of -the ship Pleiades. After making 6everal voyages in the latter vessel, Captain Morton went back to steam, being appointed chief officer of the Kumara. Two years ago he was appointed commander of the Mamari, and on arrival at London this trip Oiutfain Morton will be able to look back with justifiable pride upon a career of half a- century, upon the world s great ocean highways. During that tame he lias never mat with >a serious mishap of any kind. Those who know him best speak m terms of the highest praise of Captain, Morton's oualificatioiiG, and wish nun every happiness in his self-sought retirement from the soa.

Owing to tlie great demand in Auckland at the present time for produco from the south, the Union Company lias decided to put two more steamers on tlio loading berth for one or two trips to relieve tho congestion (says the Auckland "Herald")., Tho Wanaka has sailed for Oamaru, Bluff, and Timaru, and will load at those ports in the order named for Napier and Auckland. The Whangape will load a full cargo of produce' at Lyttelton and Timaru this week for Auckland. On -the Navua/s return from Fiji to\vard6 tho end of this month, she will proceed <13 usual to Wellington and Westport, and from the latter port will go to Timaru to load a quantity of produce for Auckland. The Navua will procced to Fijian ports on time-table date from Auckland, and will continue t-o assist the Wan alia in tho produce trad© for several trips. It i 6 announced that the steamer African Monarch is now loading a full cargo of sulphur and superphosphates at Japanese ports for New Zealand. > A four-masted schooner named tlie Blakeley, 650 tons, has been chartered to load lumber at Euget Sound for New Zealand ports. An arrival in port from Gieborne last evening was the Shaw-Savill steamer Corinthic. Departure will be taken from this port for London on Thursday, July 10. The Shaw-Saviil steamer Waiwera, which arrived in port from Timaru yesterday, will leave for Auckland and London early on Sunday morning. Final departure is expected to be made from the northern port on Friday, July 10. A great American company is said to be in course of formation for creating steamship lines between Kurope and America, by means (at first) of steamers chartered from German companies. Later on a number of new boats' will be built for the new concern-. The Union Company'e Mapourika. will be takeu off the Wellington Patent Slip today, and the Jlaupiri wll he placed on the cradlo. The liana will occupy tho slip to-morrow. Advices to hand state that the Union Company's Aparima arrived at Calcutta on Monday last from Cardiff, via Colombo. She will leave Calcutta about the end of the month for New Zealand, via Singapore arid Samarang. A map showing Fan Francisco's direct steamship connections with leading foreign ports has been compiled by the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco. Fiftythree ships arc said to be undeT con6lrurtion by various European steamship companies to ply between San Francisco and ■ ports in Kurope. Advices received from Westport yesterday stated that all the steamers at. that port had been delayed by Irnd weather and thick fog. There were uo arrivals yesterday, and prospects were not bright. It was also reported that, there was a heavy sea on the Westport bar yesterday afternoon.
