MOKE ABOUT Tfli; HAEBK. Rc/crring further to the stow H'aero, winch put in to Onchunga, Monday's Auckland 'flprald' says-.-Tho scow Uaero unexpectedly put in to Onchunga on Friday evening in a leaky condition. She left Juupara on May 9 for Orcymouth with a cargo of 125 tons of steel rails, and encountered, tho full force of the recent south-easterly gale. Twico tho scow got as far as. Oajje Kgmont, only to bo blown back again. Tho seas bcca.mo eo high that it was necessary, (o pour oil over tho <ndo of the vessel for tho spaco of 48 hours. In fact, the master, Captain Anderson, slates that had it not been for the plentiful supply of oil on board the scow undoubtedly -rt'ould have been lost. WTion tho weather moderated it was found that tho vessel had aprung a leak, and it wa« decided to make for Onchunga. Tho cargo is to bo discharged in order that the es--lent or tho damage to tho hull may ho ascertained.

A. paragraph published yesterday stated thai, a, photograph of tho Panama. Canal had been received at Auckland by the New Zealand Shipping Compajiy. Inquiries mado at the local office elicited the information that a photograph hud also been received here, and is now on Tiew at the office. It is probably the host photograph of tho canal yet talscn, and shows tho famous Onlebra Out and also tho Nov: Zealand Shipping Company's flcmuorasnd two other Tessels pa-ssinp throuyh, tho canal. The photograph, which is four feet by three feet, gives a good idea of tho stupendous task it must h*vo been to cut through tho hills to maho tho canal.
