Beside the ferry steamer there was no |[2 outward-bound shipping yesterday, owing B to tiie rain preventing the working of H cargo and the tierce gale in the Strait.

Hnmev, sngineer to the Auckland Harbour Board, with a view to providing up-to-date conveniences in Auckland. Discussing the Wimmera disaster and tho sndden failure of tho electric lights on the vessel,. an Auckland gentleman, closely identified with the mercantile roarine, stated that it was -shown that the dynamo should always bo placed in as high a position as possible on a vessel. The fact that it was placed in the engineroom. and generally on the floor, rendered it likely to become ineffective t-lie moment there was a sudden inrush of water. If it was erected in an elevated position it would onsuro the lights being ltept going for a few minutes longer in tho event of disaster overtaking a ship. The value of this was rccognised by many naval authorities, wljo placed tho electrical apparatus on.the main deck.
