STIiENUOUS PILOTAGE. • Following upon the laying of submarine mines around the coasts of the Uritish imes, the British Admiralty, ordered tho hirict enforcement of enmpulsory pilotage for all incoming and departing mereha.nt mi'nt. thu pilots being the only men outride of tho Navy entrusted with the plana of tho protecting minefields. The result lias been to place n- very heavy stTain upon the British pilots, many of whom ht.vo gone to their lant account, through lining b'own up by the enemy's submarines. vlul.it practically every living pilot on active service runs continuous risk of losing his life whilst carrying out his duties. When the Shaw-Savill liner .Momari left Lendon this trip for New Zealand she wna piloted beyond the danger zone by <i Channel pilot who had been on duty for 36 hour,s consecutively, and he ecemed to regard his lot as an ordinary exigency to which ally pilot might have to reckon with.

INTERCOLONIAL changes. As there is sucli a quantity of southern cargo ottering for Australia, it has been decided to dispatch the Union Company's auukn from LyUelton for Sydney direct iicxt week. The vessel is due licre from the New South Wales port on Tuesday, June 15, and will procecd on to Lyttelton the <?ame day, leaving there for Sydney on Thursday, Juno 17. Tho Maitai, which is eipected to arrivo at Wellington from San Fmnci'sco, via way ports, on Juno 18, will leave this pori for Sydney direct in place of the Manuka. PACIFIC CABLE BOABD'S SCHOONEK. The new auxiliary schooner Strathcona, which was recently buit at Auckland to tho order of the Pacific Cable Board, sailed early on Friday afternoon for Suva and Fanning Island. The vessel is fitted with a Belinda engine, burning crude oil, a.nd developed a speed of about nine knots on her trial. The schooner is under the command of Captain W. Robinson, of Auckland. .She had on board a quantity of stores for the cable staff at Panning Island, and a largo amount of building material which is intended for the erection of additional quarters for the board's staff at the island. Tito Strathcona will exchange her white crew at Suva for ft native one. Sue will make bi-monthly trips between Fanning Island and Honolulu, and will also meet every alternate north-bound Vancouver mail steamer for the purpose of receiving mails, passengers, and stores. Jiost of tho stores used at Fauning Island are sent from New Zealand and Australia. At one time the cable steamer Iris used to make periodical visits to the island at considerable ex-penso; but tho new arrangement will be cheaper and will place Fanning Island in doscr touch with the outcido tvorid. In future the Iris will call at Fannin? Island only when special cable repairs have to be effected. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. J.
