Two interesting arrivals at the port of Wellington during tltti week-end were a steamer of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha and an American motor schooner. The schooner is tho Ozmo, a vcsbol of 445 tons, which arrived nbout noon on Saturday with case oil from San Frantisco. Captain Loker is iu command. Last evening tho Naeamo JTaru (3791 tons) arrived from Japan. BURNT AT SEA. Following on tho news that the American barquentinc Hoko Head hns been burnt-at sea, comes news of the loss of I tho live-master schooner Crescent by the same means (says the "Shipping Lint"). • From particulars as cabled: the Crescent was en route from Sydney to San Fran- ■ cisco with a cargo of copra when tho disaster overtook her. Although every effort was made to suhduo. the llames, the in- ■ flammable nature of the cargo made the task of saving the ship liopelens On June. 2 after a draperato fight or 20 hours, tho ! ship was aliiindouml about 500 miles' off the "American const. A course wan set for San Francisco, which was eventually reached. after the crVw had been in the boats for fourteen (lays. The Orescent was loaded by Messrs. Burns, IMiilp and Co., Ltd., at Sydney, and sailed on March 23 for San Freud?™. ! with 1464 tons of copra below, and 360 I tons of hardwood on itcr!<. The Crenccnt. was a wooden schooner of 14« toim gross and was 210 ft. 4in. lons. 44ft. henm, and bed n depth of Wft. 'tin. She was built in 1904 at Eureka. CaU by the JT. D. Hoiidlxscn Shipbuilding Co., and was owned lw tlio Charles Nelson Co., of San Francisco. Jfessrs. fi. T. Hull and Co.'b John is due i".ihv direct from Oamaru. Sho loads for Wanganui.

MESS-TABLE (lOSSII , . On a sptentl service steamer of tho Onion Company the ioilowiug cnauges 111 the personnel of tlio engineers have taken place:—Mr. 11. Burl )ma relieved Mr. J. ltiulierioiil an cluoi, "hii , . it. (iiauiuu has joined an second, mid Jlr. li. Keuuie Ikib come ashore, 'sir. K. If. Newstubb, elceLriciiui, has <Uko como aiiliore. Captain W. Jtumby has taken temporary command of Iks Kotare at liuiieuin in place ol Oiuitain 0. F. irintyrc. who came ishoru owing to illneus in hie t'uiuily. Captain ilumby was at once tiuio mate'of tin; Kotare. lie enlisted shortly after the outbreak <if war, and was on active service i'or over two years with the New Zealand Forces. He returned to Dunedin invalided about two months ago.

Captain William Waller, now harbourmaster at New Plymouth, was in churga of tho Wlmmera about .eight years ago. He was succeeded by Captain Ci. 'P. Entwistle, and when tho latter was appointed to the .Riverina about, five years ago. Oaptaiu Kell took over the Wimincra. Before I;i:ing appointed to the Wimmera Cap:aln Kcll hud command of the Westralio, which was then employed in the Bydueyilobart trade. Tho Baden Powell will sail for New Plymouth from Wellington to-dny at 5 p.m. Tho Ram is to sail to-day for Turukohc to load for Lyttelton'. The Kouiata arrived in Wellington yesterday morning fully laden with ffestport coal, and ako carrying passengers. Tho ivoutiiuiii will probably sail to-mor-row for Pclorus Sound to load a quantity of posts for tho East Coast. By tlie laat iuail.nntiltoat.ion of tlie arrivals of various Bailing vessels a'c San Francisco from Australian portii was received. With few exceptions the voyages were of fairiy long duration, but isolated cases of good passagee came to hand. Among the vessels to arrive were the fourniaatcu barque Golden (.late, from byiluey, U6 days out; Meteor, four-maetcr schooner, 115 days from Sydney; Moshulu, fouriniißtod barque, 8l days from : Melbourno; Ottillio Fjord, achooncr, 100 days from Tonga; Planter, barquentine, 85 nays from Levuka; Resolute, schooner, 61 da-;s from Levuka

An effort is to be made- to salvage tlie steamer Waikarc, which was wrecked a few yenre ago while on an excursion to tho West Coast Sounds. The salvage workis to bo undertaken by Messrs. Miller Bros., shipwrights, of Port Chalmers. As a preliminary step tho ilrm has purchased tlie auxiliary ketch Water Lily. The. Dimediu-owncd brigantino Aratapu left there on April 25 with n full caqro of timber for Melbourne. Tho vessel liad covered a greater part of the Jtmrney, and was about ten days out, when she sprang a lcok in_the stern near the rudder post. A strong southerly wind prevailed at the time, and Auckland being the nearest port the captain decided to make for there- for repairs. The Aratapu reached Auckland in due course, and tlie necessary repairs having been completed, she resumed her royage on' June 15. The vessel should reach Melbourne in tho course of a day or two.—JJiiueiuu "star."

Tho movements of itmckball steamers are as loliow:—'i'lic Wfatuia leaves Lytteltou io-day for Ureyiuouth; the iVgatoro arrived at Lytlolton yeaterdny with 6hecp from (iisborno; Tho wganere is at wulig.uiin.

Tho fluanui, an .luxiliary schooner, roacnou iiyttellou at 4.10 p.m. ou i'hurauay l'roui luipura, with '(i.UUO feet ol timber. Alter discharging, the vessel will take in a full load of produce for Wellington, whither sue sails to-morrow. Tho latest charters include-:-rAryan, ship, 1939 tons, San Frauciuco to Wellington— inerchaudise. O. S. liolmes; three-masted schooner, 376, tons, San Francisco to New Zealand-case oil. Ottilio i'jord, tl\reema6ted schooner, 247 tons, Sail Francisco to New Plymouth—merchandise.

A rathor interesting charter just announced is that of the big American wooden ship Aryan to load at San Francisco for Wellington. The Aryan arriyed at San Francisco as far back as November 23 laßt from Valparaiso, consequently until tho-present business was arranged she has been an Jdlo ship for nearly six months, a serious handicap when the present demand for freight is so ncute. Tho advent of the Aryan in New Zealand waters should be interesting, as she will bo tho largest wooden ship that has ever visited the Dominion.

Tlie Daylight, the largest British fourmasted barquo afloat, left Manila on March 7 with 4000 tons of copra for San Francisco, but before doinj; so had tho gudgeons of her rudder repaired. Later on, however, these worked loose, with the result that tho rudder was practicajly useless, so Captain Smith, who is in command of the barque, decided to make Melbourne or Sydney for repairs, arriving there on June 20.

Perhaps no American sailing vessel trading to Australian ports is so well known m the five-masted eohooner Snow and Burgess. The vessel, which was built in 1878. was oricinally a barrme. and ob bucli was a familial , figure in Sydney Harhour. later on she was a hulk, and afterwards she was converted into a five masted schooner. T!ecently news was received stnt--1115 that, flio hnn cold in New York, at the abnormally bi?h figure of £45,000.
