Lyon, mate of tho Manaroa, has left tho vessel and his place haa been taken by Mr. W. Matison. The R34, ivhich has accomplished tuo trans-Atlantic, journey, would have been piloted by Major W r . Watt, of the Royal Flying 'Corps. . but for that officer's illncss. which developed a few weeks ago. Major Walt was formerly third oiilcer of tho Takapuna in the Gisbornc-Napier trade, and joiucd tho Navy at tho out-

break of war, subsequently transferring to tho K.F.C., in which ho has seen much service, particularly in craft of the dirigible type. /Ho was in command of tho airship which went out to meet the German Fleet when it came over from Kiel, and reported tho approach of the enemy vessels to the waiting British destroyers. .

Judging by the activity of the charter market during the month of April, the export business of the North Pacific is on tho verge of an era of good times, says tho "Shipping List."

At the present time there wo eleven square-rigged En-iling vessels in port at Sydney. Of this number one' is a fourmasted barque, four are barques, three are full-rigged ships, while there are three barquentines. Of the national flags represented, thrco are Norwegian, one Finnish, three fly tho Stars and Stripes, thrco tho red ensign, whilo Denmark haß one representative. Interesting references to the frejtrnt position between Japan and Australia- aro contained in a letter received from hobe by a well-known, business house in Melbourne. Tho communication, which is dated May 4, states; "Referring to tho shipment by the steamer — at tho .low rate of 21a. Bd. per ton, tho rato-of freight from Kobo to Sydney and Melbourne, we may mention that tho chief freight is simply a cutting rate, and the company arc dispatching the above-mentioned extra steamer in order to cut the other company out of the Australian run. Under these circumstances it is impossible to sa-v whether there will any further sailings at this cheap rate." Tho" Hong-Kong and Whampoa Dock Company, Ltd.. on March 27 launched fmni, their Hong-Kong yard the steamer War Sniper, the larsrcst vessel yet built by the company. The War Sniper is a standard steamer of the B class. 400 ft. in length, and with a deadweight capacuy of 6KSO tons. It iB anticipated that a. speed of 11 knots loaded will be obtained. The vessel has been built to tho order of the Shipping Controller.
