The New South Wales' port was left behind at 2 p.m. on Friday, and strong southerly winds with high seas were encountered on the run sctoes.

She was expected to leave on the return journey to Wellington at. 7 p.m. Departure will be taken from Westport for Nelson at 9 a.m. to-day, and the vessel is expected to clear the latter port for Wellington direct at 9.30 p.m. Consequently the Arahura will not' arrive here till .the early hours of to-morrow morning. E.M.S. REMUERA'S EXCITING JOURNEY. The New Zealand Shipping Company's liner Remuera, 11,276 tons, which left Lon r don for Wellington, via way nprts on Friday last, had an exciting journey from this port to London last trip. The liner reported that on her way from Cape Horn two German cruisers threatened her, and another sent S.O.S. messages to trap her. After leaving. Monte Video the Ermuera sighted warships. She then extinguished all lights, steamed at full 6peed,' and, , changing her course, eluded them. The Remuera is duo at Wellington on JanuaTy 12' NEW STEAMEES FOR AUSTRALIA. ' News bv mail from Sydney states that Sir. H. Howard Smith, of tho firm of noward Smith and Sons; on being interviewed on his arrival from London, said that there are three steamers building for tho Australian Steamships, Ltd., into which the shipping business, of the firm .had been merged. Two of these steamers are large cargo boats, and one of small typo. Their construction had been delayed because of, the demands of' the Admiralty for warships. SELLING ENEMY'S STEAMERS; : ' Advices from Simla, dated September 9, say that tenders- havo been invited for the steamers Rheinfels and Warturm, at Bombay, and that tenders were to be at once Invited for the remaining vessels, viz., tho steamer Alexia, at Rangoon,- and the 'steamers Wartenfels, .Lindenfels, Franz Ferdinand, and Varzln, at Aden. Of the Bteamers detained at Colombo, the Moltkefels, Stuimturm, and Rappenfela will be brought to Calcutta. The prize ship Trifels at Colombo, it is understood, was acauired by the Indian Government. She discharged about -6000 tons' of rico, and was sailing for Bombay on. Thursday. . She .was manned by a British crew, namely, Captain W. V. Smith, officer* and crew of tho Bombay, steamer Kanzler, which was wrecked near the Maldives ■ ' . . MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. . ' Captain Evans, marine superintendent for the Shaw, oa'vill, and Albion Company, .is at present on' holiday. Captain .Maxwell, superintendent for the company at Auckland is relieving at head office. Mr. J, Weir, third, engineer of tho Oanopus, having come ashore at Wellington, Mr.G. Wiliey'has filled the vacancy. Mr. 0. Carter, chief steward of tho Monowai, has joined tho Moeraki in a similar capacity. - . Mr. Brookes, chief officer of tho Wanaka, and Mr. Inman, chief .of the Kanna, havo rachango positions. Captain Carson- has.taken charge of ,the Monowai, vice Captain Manning, who will proceed to. Port Chalmers to reoommission the Maori. : Mr. P.. Cloke,, late of the Zcalaudia, arrived ' from Sydney by the Moeraki yesterday to join the .Westralia as chief officer in place of Mr. R. Bracken, who wiH trans- | fer to the Victoria. Mr. Jones, chief j officer of tho latter steamer, will take up a similar position on the TJlimaroa. . 'According to private advices received in Sydney, the new F. and S. liners, three specially designed refrigerator carriers and two palatial passenger and cargoearners of similar doss to the Argylshiro, ' Wiltshire, and Shropshire, will not bs ready for service as Boon as was originaUy anticipated. When the war broke out their construction was proceeding at a rapid rate, but upon the commencement of ' hostilities work ceased upon them, owing to Admiralty work having to take preference, i ' - Cape Maria Van Dicmen reported that the Sliaw-fcavill liner Waiwcra, bound from London to Auckland and Wellington, passed at 9 a.m. yesterday. The vessel should arrive at .Auckland this morning. Repairs to the Richardson steamer Koutunui have not been carried out as expeditiously at Port Ahuriri as was anticipated, and in consequence the vessel will not be ready to resume running for a few days. ■ " The Corinno, which, arrived at Wellington from Now Plymouth yesterday morn- • ing -brought 1M74 boxes of butter and 2647 orates of cheese for transhipment to the lonio, and 495 crates of cheese for transhipment to the Bakaia. The freight will be forwarded to London. Although there ore considerable facilities for private- dealings in'stocks and shares, British investors ore holding very tightly to' their shipping securities (says an exchange). On the whole, holders of . shipping securities are not at all perturbed by the prospect of higher coal costs.i proV minms for war insurance, and the shortage of cargo which must be affecting many shipping companies. Government contracts in some measure may compensate for these disadvantages. British shipping companies will, play a very important part . in tho capture'of Germany's valuable over- -. sea trade, and shareholders do not overlook thi6. They also expect the shipping ■industry to ■ be one'of the first to benefit 1 when peace is attained. It has heen decided to slip the Arahura at Wellington on Friday next for cleaning nn'd painting.. Tho Mapourika will mount the cradlo for the same purpose. on December'B. .if Private advices received in Wellington stated that, tho Union Company's oorgo- . carrier Aparima- was to have left Calcutta ; for New.
