On January 19 a schooner loaded with copra grounded while being towed from Apia Harbour. It was at iirst proposed to send a wireless message to Pago Pago mr but a hasty survey of tho i ii » sc " 00ner revealed damage to her hull of such a character that the project was abandoned as useless. An hour or two later the crew left the ship with their belongings, and a lighter being brought alongside, the ship's stores, papers, and other of the more portable things of value were brought nahore. On tho following lhursday there was a heavy swell which greatly damaged the schooner and caused tho copra to break loose, and, being washed through a big liolo in the ves»i i. J' . 600n began to drift up on the beach. During the next few days the natives reaped a rich harvest.. Tho wreck wns sold at auction for £40. MESS-TABL'E GOSSIP.

The exact price' has not been stated, but • It is rumoured that not far short of half a million sterling is involved. Messrs. Russell and Co., although their output of, tonnage has been for several years larger than that of any other single firm on the river, have not hitherto supplied the machinery for the vessels built by them. They will now he able, however, to engine tho vessels they build. Prior to the war these consisted mainly of highclass cargo steamers. The firm has considerably enlarged the scopc of its business within recent years by the purchase of two additional yards at Port Glasgowthose of Messrs. A. Rodger and Co. and Messrs.
