According to the records supplied to Lloyds Kcgis.er of Shipping, tho auxiliary power is supplied by a gas engine. Tho port of registry is Suva. A vessel of a similar type is being built in Sydney for tho same firm. As each one is completed she will oe put into tho copra trade in tho Paciuc. Tho "New York Times" states that durimr IF7 Germany torpedoed t5 American ohips of a tounage of 171,000. and in tho same period America Beized 1W Austro-Ger-man ships of a tonnago.'of 686,000.. , A small sailing vcsel which arrived in New Plymouth recently, had an excitins and perilous voyage 'says Mondays lara, naki "Daily News"). On the second day after putting to sea- the vessel encountered strong winds and a heavy sea, which continued for several days, and a bad time was experienced. The vessel sprang a leak, and the pumps had to bo kept continuously at work from that time until the destination was reached. The behaviour of tho crew throughout their trying experionce was said to be splendi.l. While trying to round North Cape the vessel came right up against a heavy wind and the attempt to round tho cape and takoihel. ter had to be abandoned. After a general consultation with the craw, it was unanimously decided to endjavonr to make tho port of destination, and that ivas achieved on Friday. The vessel has taken m a lot or water, and the cargo of phosphates which she has on board, sonic of which had to be jettisoned, i; expected to have been somewhat damaged.
