AKKAH-NA-POGUE ASHORE. Tress Association ■ advice received from Australia yesterday stated that the schooner Arre-h-no-Pogue was ashore at the mouth of Manning River, where she had gone to load for Whangarei. Early last Novomber advico was rifceived that the Arrah-na-Poguc had been sold by Mr Somervillc, of Auckland, to an Australian ' firm, who intended to use her to trade between. Australia and Neil- Zealand. Sho was hero some njonths. ago, and from here proceeded to Kaipara. The trip was a very long one, occupying over 40 clays, and on leaving Kaipara for Auckland it wee thought that the vessel must have sot, out. to mako a record for a long passage between the two ports, as sho took long enough to cause some anxiety as to her safety. On arrival nt Auckland Eho -was docked for sighting by the Australian firm who purchased he* almost immediately.. She then proceeded to Sydney, nnd this, but for an unlucky misha-p. was to ha-vo been her first trip from Australia, to New Zealand uudor her new- owners bhei lreported to be in no immediate danger. The Arroh-na-PoBUO was built Blightly over four years ago by: Mr. R. Niecol of Auckland, and was a/vessel of 100 tons. SALE OF A PRIZE STEAMER. Tho Greek steamer Nicolaos was _reocntly eoid by auction (states an English

ping Exchange. The sale look place imtier an. order of tho Admiralty. The bidding cumnienced al tlif- mi- / promising ttguro of £10,0u0, and v.a's car- , ried ai once bjr two bids of XSOCO each. to Jv2O,COO. Thereafter t-lio bidding slack-., ened somewhat, but interest was .renewed later by the entry of freeh competition, ami the vessel ires finally sold for £29,250, passing to the Overseas Syndicate, of 21 Iremongcr Lane. The Nicolao.? was formerly owned by Messrs. Aivatoglou Brothers, nn Ottoman firm of grain merchants, of Constantinople, and was condemned by the I'riae Court at Alexandria on July 3. 1916. PALOONA REPLACES TDK MAITAI. It has been decided to allow the P«looua to take up the tuu iu place- oft the wrecked .Maitai, says the Chriswhurch '"Hun." The Paloona which Jβ oue of the ne.-t----knowu vessels; in th» Union Company's service, 'is a vessel of 2771 tons, und wus" formerly a unit of the Huddart-Pnrke:-fleet, when she sailed under the name or Zealandia. Though slightly smaller tlinn the- ilaitah the Paloona'will answer admirably ,lor her new purpose. W-A.HHIJIOO SOLD FOR £58,000. it transpires that- the steamer Wajrimoo, which wae built at Newcastle in 1892 by Aleßsrs. C. S. Swan and Hunter, and was owned by tho Union Steam Shin Company of New Zealand, Ltd., was sold to a Chinese firm in the Straits siettlements for £63,000. , Tte vessel ib one of tho best-known etcomers on the New Zealand coast. Together with the Maitai (now lost at lforotonga) she commenced tho Pacific All-Bed mail route under tho Canadian-Australian flag. Tho Warrimoo Ciimo hero as a New Zealand and Auetralian Company's vessel, but ultimately changed to the Union Company. At the time of her first arrival here she was one of the most up-to-date vessels in these part*, and wo-s especially well fitted out for passenger traffic. She , was built at Newcastle in 1892. She is a veflel of 3528 tons (135 tone larger than the Jirfitei--her sister shinj, her principal measurements being: length, 557 feet; breadth, 42i feet; end depth, 28 feet.
