H. NisI bet, who has joined a special service steamer as thira officer, llr. D. Williams, late third officer of the Koitiri, has joined the Mararoa- in a ! similar capacity. . . In furtherance of the measures taken to ! protect shipping, Captain Hall-Thompeon, I Naval Advisor to the New Zealand Governi ment, has forwarded the following letter j to the Now Zealand Shipowners' Federa- ! lion:—"Will you please note that all ; ships' boats when the ships to which they i belong are alongside any guarded wharf | in New Zealand should be hoisted unless ! Actually in. use. So boat should be alI lowed to lie alongside a ship at a guard- ' ed wharf unless some responsible person !is in the boat. It is requested that all comnanies and ships attached to your • organisation should be informed to this i effect. The above also applies to all hulks lying alongside guarded wharves or ships at guarded wharves. It has been found that the presence of boats alongside their parent ships has been the cause of persons irregularly entering and leaving guarded wharves, and the restrictions Quoted have therefore to bo put in force." The ilincmoa has completed her work at Portland Island and East Oape Lighthouses, and has proceeded to Mercury Bay, where she will be engaged in readjusting beacon lights. The Defender, which arrived from Lytteltou last night, will make another trip to Lyttolton to-day. instead of sailing for Picton, Groymouth, and Hokitika, as previously intended. The llimilangj will go up on tho Patent Slip on Thursday next for purposes of overhaul. Defectß in the boiler of the tug Duncdin formed a subject for discussion at a meeting of tho. Otago Harbour Board on Wednesday. .The chairman (Mr. Loudon) said that the Minister had not yet intimated whether he would institute an inquiry by Commission, consisting of a- Magistrate and two assessors. Mr. Loudon took it i that the board desired to press for an I inquiry. The board resolved unanimously to ask for an inquiry. Regarding a demonstration of the otttI cioncy of internal combustion engines, the case of the naval collier Manmeo. 14.300 ! tons displacement, may bo cited, lhe (vessel was completed in 1916, and is equipped with what are probably the largest Diesel engines in the world, as :\thc twin engines in (hat vessel ore of #(Jl> horse-power each, and givejier a speed of 11 knots. ■ Th>-. Maumce was placed in commi«?iou in December. 1916. and by May, 1917, had steaincd 18.030 miles, her engines giving general satisfaction. ' Announcement of a steamship mereer that may mean a great deal to the development of British and Canadian shipping nfter-thc-war trade has been made it the Montreal office of the Ounnrd Line. The Cunard, the Anchor, and the AnchorDonaldson Lines wer» joined under one management on January 1 They will be operated, so. far as their Canadian business iB concerned, under tho supervision of Ihe llnhcrl. Tleford Company, instead of through American offices as heretofore. Joint, oflV'es have hecn established in Winnipeg and Vancouver.
