The Monowai, from the south, was .expected to rcaoh Auckland last evening, states a Press Association telegram.

Acoordiug to ness from Washington, positions ns Federal deputy shipping commissioners have been thrown open to women; This announcement was made on February 25. Appointees will have tho right to hoard slifrs fn (heir capacity as Federal officers, anil will be called upon to deal with questions arising between the mastefs of vessels sjiri' seamen. The Anlan, a specially designed steamer for operating through the rapids of the Upper Yangtze and built in Shanghai, tins been recently put on the Ichang-Chung-klng run by the Asiatic Petroleum Gom ; pany (British). The steamer can bo ueeii as a tanker or as a enrgo boat, and lias accommodation for foreign and Chinese passengers. It is strong and well omit, and embodies the ideas of Captain h. C. Plant, of the Chinese Customs service, who has spent many years studying Ilia oonditions on the Upper Yangtze. The Anlan, flying the British flag, and tho Meltan. flying tho American li»;g, and operated by the Standard Oil Company of New York, all Inst summer were the only two foreign steamers engaged in traffic on the Upper Yangtze. Thus another striking piece of evidence that navigation of the Upper Yangtze is practic.nl na commercially profitable has been produced. Sailors and firemen who before the war were paid £6-a month now are receiving £12 a month, with a bonus of £6 for hazardous trips through submarine-infcat-ed waters, according to the report of the Seamen's Church Institute of New York. The institute during 1917 received- £106.6T0 from Kcamen for pnfe keeping. Less money goes for beer and whieky, the report states, for the seamen "are hiking to soila water and soft drinks." There were 276,124 sales over the institute's soda water countor in 1917. Mr. Thomas Milieu, a widely-known chief steward in Jho Huddnrt-Parker Company's Australian-New Zealand service, died suddenly a Tow days ago from haemorrhage of tho brain, while on his vessel at Newcastle. The deceased, who was about n5 years of age, was accorded u freemason's funeral, and was biirir-d at the Wnvcrlcy Cemetery. Sydney. Hi! left a widow, but no family. Tin- late Mr. Milieu was Inglily esteemed by the I ravelling public, nnd wns much respected liy those aboard the vessels on which he was employed. Sir. Fred Ilowditch, lute or n lluddurt-l'arker steamer tliat was lecontly sold, bus succeeded to Mr. Millen's position. Federal Shipping Board olliciiUs, according to advices from Seattle, are linding It Increasingly cifflonH to secure musters for the ninny Government vessels beiiiß built in Washii.plon and Oregon yards. The shortage of masters is reported so acute that sooner or later it inny be necessary to draw upon Kuroni;, whero so many masters have been left without a command through the activity of the Gorman submarine.

Another addition to Messrs. Burns, Ehllp and_ Oo.'s fleet of LChooners was made on April 30, when the auxiliary schooner Makoa was launched from tho shipbuilding yards of Messrs. Morrison and Sinolalj', Balmain. The Makoa is a wooden auxiliary schoonor. of about 250 tone, fitted with a thrco-cyltnder Union oil engine, of 110 noreo power, epeoially designed to burn either kerosene or benzine. She is 117 ft. long over all, with a beam of 27ft., and a moulded depth cf lift. A fast trip was made by a barcmentlne recently between Melbourne and New Zealand. She covered the distance in 13 days. From the time she cleared tho heads at Mclbourno until she anchored in her ttnnl port tho wind was constantly in her favour. Tho Victorian Marino Board has recommended to the State Ministry that tho rates for pilotaeo be raised in tho maximum from 2100 tone at 2Jd. and 3.6 d. a ton thereafter,' to a maximum of 60DG tona at »d. .and Id. a ton afterwards. Ilates of harbour pilots aro to bo raised from £2 10s. to £3 10s. a ship. In rouly to a request from tho Pilots' Association that pilots, who wish to accept tho Commonwealth Shipping Board's Invitation to become maators of requisitioned vessels, should be granted leave of absence, the board decided that leave would bo granted provided that the pilot service at tho Heads was efficiently maintained
