THK MONOWAI'S JUIOGItAAIiiE. . In consequence of Hie delays occasioned hi the north lost, week owing to rough weather, the. Monowai's ruuuing in the East Coast service ha« .been fiomewhat disorganised. The vessel was three days late, this l.rip. She arrived hern from byttclton yesterday morning and will Kail at, 5 p.m. to-day for Napier, Gisborne, and Auckland. The vessel will be due. at Auckland on Thursday, and will leave there again on Saturday for southern ports. She. should therefore arrive hack here on "I'lies" (Ih.v. August 28, and will sail Ihc same day for ihc couth. NO GI.SBOIiNIi CATtfiO. Messrs. Johnston and 00. staled on Saturday thai the steamer Hippie win no t, take, cargo for GiHboriift this trip owing to a, shortage of water at that port. Oureo for Napier and bays north of (iisbornc will be received as usual. OVBKHAUIi TO THE AMOKUKA. The Government training; steamer Aniokura, which has been laid up iu the. stream for some months, is about, to undergo considerable overhaul to her engines, and her hull will ;aleo receive attention. She will come alongside the wharf this week, and in addition to the overhaul will probably have a new funnel fitted. She will be placed on the elip before eailiug;

from Wellington nboiit the end of next luonll). MESS-TABLE GOHSIP. Mr. J". Brown, chief onciiioer of the Huia. has gono to Auckland to join the Radon Powell, which has been purchased by Mr. W. "H. Brewer, of the Wellington sWmship Company, aud is to he brought to Wellington Hiiptiiiii Whyhorn arrived in Wrllinctou from thn foulli by the Maori yesterday morniiie. The Taraweni will leavp for Picton today, where she will load a large quantity of rliaff for Aucklund. The Union Cotnnany's colliers Karu and Kini are due early 1 his moruiug with coal from Greymouth. The Huddart-Parkqr steamer Wimmera has commenced winning exclusively on the New Zealand coast The vessel ie duo here to-morrow and will sail iu the afternoon for Lyttelton and Dunedin. She will continue this run from Auckland to Dunedin via ports. The Anchor steamer Kennedy will leave to-day for Puuonga to load coal for PicThr Wai™ will lav up at Blenheim today for overhaul. The Hinemoa is at present somewhere hetween BluH aud Westuort. She is due at the latter port, on Thursday, aud will then come on to Wellington, calling at JCahurangi Point en route to pick up Secondassistant Light-keeper Trainor, who has resigned. / The steady incj-ease in the price or oil has made It necessary (says tho Auckland ■Star") for owners or small craft dying for hire to increase the charges for the use of their boats, and now the'y are faced with a shortage which has no' immediate relief in view Before tho war distillate waa bought for Bb. per oase, and from then until a few weeks ago it steadily rose in pneo to 13s. 6d. A sudden rise makes it now 19s. 9d. uer caae, and' this has exhausted the previous small margin of profit, Tho schooner Annie Hill, which has been laid up at. Lyttelton for a considerable time, will go on the slip enortly for temporary repairs prior, it is understood, to beiqg towed to Dunedin, where she will probably bo converted into a. coal hulk. Tho Victorian Marine Board recently adopted a regulation for the, equipment, of lifeboats with efficient compasses. The compasß must be of the 'liquid" type, and must be illuminated at night. Passenger shins must provide at least half their lifeboats with compaßßOs. The regulation comes into force on January 1, 1918. While the. Kauri Timber Company's tug Waitangi was conveying a number of large logs from Tairua to Auckland last Tuesday night, 148 of the logs broke loose and went adrift, constituting a danger to'shipping. The Waitanci lost, the logs during a hard gale between the Watchman and Port Fitzroy, Great Barrier. One hundred of them broke away singly, and the remaining forty-eight were chained together. The tug went out from Port Fitzroy in eearch of the drifting timber. It, is not, yet know exactly whDro the accident happened, but, if the Waitangi at tho time was north of the southern end of the Great Barrier, the probability is that jnany of the logs wbnld float ashore. If. on the other hand, says the ,r New Zealand Herald," the tug was between the Great Barrier and Oape Colville when the logs broke adrift, they would most likely go out to sea, in which case there would be very little chance'of-recovering them, unless some current sent them landwards. The logs average 20ft. in length, and vary from 3ft. to 6ft. in diameter.'
