Mr. Hill, ft returned soldier, has joined the -Union Company's service at Auckland, and has been appointed third olllcer of the Eaitongata, • Captain Jamieson, formerly master of tho Defender, Bold his interest in the West-land Shipping Company, owners of the vessel, about a month ago, when he retired. Captain ...W. E. Mumby, who iB In command of the May 'Howard, joined t!i Seventh Reinforcements of the Otago Mounted Rifles, wont to' Egypt in June. 1915, and after a six-months' stay was transferred to France, whero he took part in the Mcssiries/ongageraont. Prostrated by sciatica from . November last until .'April, he returned to New Zealand in Juno last, subsequently taking command lof tho schooner. Telegraiphic advico received from Timaru last night said that the Rosamond, had sailed at 6.15 p.m. fir Wellington. Southern exchanges state that. the vessel had a, load of produce for Napier. The Monowai, which is due here during tho night from Auckland direct, is to fail for Lyttelton and Dunedin at 2 p.m. to.morrow. . Messrs. Johnston and Co. announce a slight -alteration in the running of Iho Ripple. In future she will call at Akitio. on her way from Glßborno to Wellington, and cargo for that p'acu will only be re--1 ceived on Mondays till noon. As she is bnrbound inside Foxton, tho I Queen of the South is not expected to arrivo here until to-morrow. • . I The Union Company adviso that tho Makura's departuro for Vancouver has been postponed to noon to-morrow. The v Union Company's Niagara arrived n,t Auckland from Vancouver at 7 a.m. yesterday, bringing passengers and mails. She will sail to-night for Sydney. Shippers of goodß by Huddart-Parkcr Company's ships from Sydney to ports other than Wellington, will now have to sirivuigc with agents to' veconsign their imports, as the company is not giving : through bill of lading. Tho reflttting of the Auckland tup Stella into a cargo steamer is, after flvo months, Hearing completion. Extensive alterations and overhaul have boon carried out. Tho fore-cabin and saloon have been gutted, and tho after bulkhead in tho forwardhold has been shifted 7ft. aft. The result of this is a fore-hold capable, of holding over 200 tons of cargo, besides the two now 1000-gallon tanka fitted at the after end. The afte.'-hold has ,aIBO been extended. Sho was expected to go on her trial trip yesterday, and is to sail for Dunedin at tho end of tho week. Captain It. Hamilton ! has been superintending the refitting of the vessel, being assisted l;y tho chief, engineer, Mr. K. Chisliolm, of Dunedin. The. other officers joining the vessel are:-Chief, Mr; A. J. Loclcie. ex master of iho Lyman D. Foster; second officer, Mr. J. Jacobs; second engineer, Mr. Afoifatt.' Litigation over tho wreck of the Eunice at Wanganui has cost tho looal harbour board £350. Tho Bluff "Press" states that it has been decided that Captain 11. .T. Hamilton, who will.' leave Auckland in a few days with the refitted steamer Stella for Dunedin. will subsequently take over tho command of the Antio'ie when that famous dinner arrives back in tho Dominion. Both sho and the Stella now run under the same ownership of tho Otago Iron Rolling Mills Company, Ltd. Captain Hamilton's present command, the Si 611 a. is a sißtcr vessel to the Government steamer Hinemoa, and it is interesting to recall Hint Captain M'Donald was mate on the Stella when he accented the position of harbourmaster at. Bluff, and Captain Hamilton was mato on the Hinemoa when he joined the THnf harbourmaster's staff as second pilot. Captain Hamilton vacated tl« post of master at Bluff Boms months ago to tako over the command of the Stella.
