The 'provision of further' berthage- accommodation at the port was the subject of a report by the .harbourmaster. Uptaiu'H. H. Sergeant, to the Auckland Har< hour Board on Tuesday. Captain Sergeant made tho following recommendations:— That the Central Wnarf remain l-h same length as at presi-.t, and that the additional 400 ft. which it ,-,vas intended to add to that wharf be added to the Queen s Wharf.' The arrangement would then give 1500 ft. on the eastern sido of tho Queens Wharf and 1200 ft. on the western Blue. That an additional 400 ft. bo ad<Ud to -tho proposed now Hobson Wharf, .making ISOOt't. berthage on the, eastern side aud 1600 ft. on the western side. These alterations would.add enormously to tho berthage accommodation, ami tho additional 400 ft. on the Queen's Wharf and new Hobßon Wharf would give deep water berths without much- additional dredging. The present Queen's ''Wharf would accommodate only three large steamers of, cay, 550 ft. in length, whereas the proposed addition would enable five large ..vessels of tho same length to bo bortneu. The addition to the new Hobson-, Wharf I would sivc two additional berths for vessels of 400 ft. in length. This arrangement would bring tho Hobson, and. Queens Wharves practically into lino with lunge Wharf, and the proposed wharves oil Vp eastern reclamation, and would .Btill id" 3 ample room for manoeuvring large vessels. ' The report was received.

'During the month of Juno 148 vessels, with a total net tohnago of 92,393 torn, entered the port of Lyttclton, as compared with 158 vesecls, aggregating 61,135 tons, during tho corresponding; month of last year. • Tho Impcrator. the mammoth liner of 51,969 tons, which before Jho war belonged to tho Haniburg-Amerika Lino, came into collision off tho American coast with the steamer Agwidale,. The latter was damaged. The Newfoundland seal fishing fleet has returned to St. John and reports that the catch is tho smallest for a century. The first ship back, the Diana, had only 2000 ' pelts on board, and reported that the j other nine vessels had fewer than WOO pelts between them. An owner of a vessel which was seized at tho commencement of the war and taken into a German port. 6ays an English paper, has been looking forward to the return qf hla vessel, which has, of course, increased very considerably In value since sho -was captured. He had been unable to ascertain at which port tho vessel was lying, and inquiries sinco i the armistice had failed to locate tho vesI sel. lie has now, however, discovered that ! the boat was utilised by the Germans •! to carry war material to Africa to asI sist the Germans-fighting there, and that I she was overhauled by a- British cruiser I and sunk. Efforts to recover tho present j value from the Admiralty havo shown i that the latter disclaim all liability, while ! tho War Bisk Association will probably i only pay a total loss bused, on the value j of tho vessel at tho time of the outbreak of the war. .
