The steamer Hovland, a vessel of 2996 tons gross, which was built at Sunderland in 1898 by Messrs. J. L. Thompson and Sons, has again changed hands. - She was formerly owned- /by Messrs. E. Nicholson and Sons, of Liverpool, who sold her tn August, 1910, for I £IS,CCO. She has just been resold for about . £11W)C0, and it is stated that she has now been fixed on time charter . for twelva e months at £9300 monthly. | A LUCKY SPECULATION. | "Shipping Illustrated" says:—"The eteo. | mer Carolyn four years ago ran on the 6 rocks, and was abandoned by the insurance E men as a 'constructive total loss.' A speculator nought the wreck for £300, and succeeded in floating it and making it seaworthy again, 'He has now sold the ves< sel for &i 9,400. Such is tho result of tho ! unprecedented present demand for ocean freight carriers." MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. Baggott, late of tho Waverley, has joined, the Eegulua as second mate, vice Mr. Tully. who has comb ashore. Mr. Lcvestam, ohief engineer of the Paloona, has rejoined his vessel. Jlr. O.

The Government ship Amokura obtained the services of a- second engineer (in place of Mr. MacGrcgor, who was forced through illness, to go shore at tho Bluff), .and it is probable that the vessel will continue her journey to the southern islands to-day.

Sho is expected to return to thi6 port, on Saturday next, and will depart the same day for Oamaru, Timaru, and Dunedin. Messrs.
