NEW SHIPS FOR AUSTRALASIA. News of a great rebuilding effort on the part of the British-Australian, shipp ns companies whose fleets have been depleted by aubmarinings has been received in Melbourne. Following upon the announce ment of-the delivery of the n , ew - P ' r J I J I , liners Naldera and. Narlsundo comes an intimation that five new vessels two of •which have been -completed and thrco ltiunched. arc added to the fleet of the Commonwealth and Dommiori Une.

Both these oraft wore turned out at the yards of Workman, ; Clark, and 00.. of Belfast, ■whilo the ' same Arm has successfully launched, tho Port Denison, 10.365 tons, a : sister ship to the Port Bowen. Adopting tho policy' of perpetuating the namea 01 sunhen vesselß in the new .fleet, the ♦uora' monwealth and Dominion Line has named three steamers • of 8465 tons oach, driven by three-ffea-red • turbines and havinß cruiser sterns, and which are aboiit to. leave the builders' hands, the Port Nichol* aon, Port Adelaide, and Port Kembla. # Advice has .been received that the British India. Oompany'a fleet has been anj?* mented by the addition of tho twin-scrow craft Karasola, 7053 tons; Marffha, 8258 tons; and Yasna, 5677 tons, built at Newcastle, England, while a new FederalShire liner the Somerset, a, triple-turbinetf vessel of 7700 tons/has been completed. • Tho Olan Line, which has important Australian connection,'and suffered especi*- • ally severe losses during the war period,, has embarked on an extensive reconstruction' policy.- Tho following new vesselshavo been completed for this company:— Olan Abine, 6465 tons; Olan Macbean, 5052 tonßj'Olan Mackiniay, 6450 tons; Olan • ' M'Master, 6865 tons; Olan Macmillan. 6000 tonB; Clan Macvoy 5815 tons; Olan Maovicar, 5876' tons; Clan Malcolm, 5994 tonn.

Nnzairc, Franco, on November 2 got into, collision with a tug, and was beached at Nantukct. Salvage operations were Btarted 'by the U.S. Navy, but as she-was badly damaged it was oxpectcd that she will be a lobs. The Port Hunter 1b a yessel of 4062 tons gross, of the following dimensions:— Length,. 380 ft,; beam, 49ft.; depth. 25ft. She was built in 19C6 by Hawthorn, Leslie, and Co., Nowcaßtle. ' It is cxpecled thftt the Port Phillip, ■which was run down by a collier and sunk in New York Harbour somo months ago, will be refloated. . The -1919 edition of the "New ZealandNautical Almanac" has beeu received at this dfllec, and is as excellently compiled as in previous years. Some very valuable nautical tables and examples of problems worked by their aid are published in tho ahnahac, which it is hoped (the editor. Captain. H.- 8, Blackburne says) will grcatr ly encourage masters and officers generally to make a practice of determining, tho 1

Bhip'B position from two stars.at twilight, as these tables make tho problems very easy, • and also enable -the -observer to tnako suro that he ;ie taking tho right star .by the easy calculation •of the ap* proximate altitude, as the reductions aud azimuths of several bripht stars have been tabulated, and can be taken out at sight. ' Tho schooner' Henrette, in charge of Captain .Morrison, late of the. Union Companv, is 47 days out from San Francisco to Wellington. •* . _ , The barque Manurewa.'
