A means of minimising, if not cheokta® entirely, the enormeuh losses caused annually by the pilferage of goods in transit, was outlined recently; by the manager of a well-known shipping company, whose losses from this causie, he said, had been reduced by 90 per <{:ent. in the, last 12 months. "A year ago,” he eaid. ‘‘we were losing at the rate of/£250,000 a year; now the iiguro is about a tenth of tha_t. Tho reduction has been effected by putting into operation the preventive measures which have since been incorlporated in the report recently issued by the Pilferage Committee of the Chamber of Shipping. The essence of the system which ’the committee recommends. and which tipis com-any has fallowed with such good! results for the past year, is the watching and tallying of goods while they ar<s in the shipowner’s charge. Tallies, it is shotild be taken both in ajnd out of the ship, under the supervision either of the ship a officers or of substitutes appointed by them from among petty officers, apprentices, wireless operators, or other members of the crew ’> Recognition by the officers of their responsibilities is of the first importance. It '.must not be thought for a moment that tlie pilferage evil has been finally eradicated,” the manager added. "We are etill' very far from that. But the experience of /this company proves that losses can be .very materially reduced by following 'the recommendation of the Pilferage Cominission’s report It is curious that the imeasures we have taken have proved far more effective in tho less highly-organised ports than in the more important lones. Piraeus and Constantinople, for instance, are pretty hopeless in general; 'but we have been able to nut a ston to pilferage there within tho shipowner’s province. On the other hand, at such ports at: London, New York, Sydney, the shipowner still has great difficulty in asserting himnelf, because of the power of the port authorities These authorities have assumed/ many of the shipowners’ functions without accepting his responsibilities, and at the great ports improvement in the pilferage situation is less pronounced.” .

CATHKIT’S ROUGH VOYAGE. The scow Cathkit, which arrived at Gisborne on August 10. ,31 days out from Newcastle, met a succession of heavy gales. Captain Munns stated that he had never known such a succession of gales in the Tasman Sea. and several times they w’ere forced to povir oil on the water to help to lessen the seas. It was wonderful, he said, how such a little ship could come through it. He had had very little sleep. The second night out tho vessel ran into terrific seas, and she shipped large ouantities of water. On July 11 a mountainous sea. broke on board', tearing away some of tho asbastos on the top of the donkey engine and boiler, and shifting the cargo. The cargo, however, was later secured. A few days later the vessel ran into a how-ling tempest, and the seas ran terrifically high. There was oue long, fierce squall which was almost of hurricane force. Oil had to be poured on the water Later the ship experienced a ten days’ gale, during which the storm raged, with two little lulls in between. Many times the ship had to be hove-to on account of the high seas.
