The Harbor Company’s p.s. Samson took her departure for Oamaru at 8.15 this morning. he schooners Dagmar for Napier James Paxton for Riverton, and ketch 1 lying Squirrel for Shag Point, sailed this morning. The steamers Lady Bird for Northern I or s, Maori for Lyttelton and intermediate ports, Wallabi, and Wanganui, sail this evening The Wallabi, s.s., came down from Dunedin to take on board transhipments, and sails for the Bluff this evening. , The Harbor Company s s.s. Maori came down from Dunedin to take on board transhipmentsjrom the Otago, and sails for Lyttelton, via intermediate ports, this evening. The barque William Ackers from Newrastle which was in company with the barque Horatio Sprague, off the South-West (ape, on the 14th inst, was signalled at the Heads at noon to-day. The tug Geelong proceeded down, and will tow her up this evening. We learn from a private telegram from Thnaru that the s.s. Lady of tho bake, which was run ashore, was successfully launched this morning by Messrs Murray and C 0., and is expected to arrive early to morrow morning, when she will be taken into the floating dock The case Moss v. Mackenzie, which came before the R.M. Court last week, but was compromised, should attract the attention of mariners of all grades. The question was this; —"lf the master of a vessel falls sicks, or is disabled, can his mate claim captain’s wages during the period of such incapacity or disability?” Where a captain dies, or where the illness or incapacity is of such a character as to impose the whole responsibility upon the ■econd in command, the case is not doubtful. If a captain is ill for two or three days or a week, it would be too much to say that he relinquishes the responsibility connected with his charge. Under what circumstances will his authority pass to the next officer ? Or, if a captain ships a mate for a short voyage, himself going overland, is the mate entitled to claim master’s wages, without having made any previous stipulation? ihe law is sufficiently determined in the case of traders to foreign ports, but the fact that a mate has claimed, and the defendant compromised the action, is one well worth consideration as to the state of the law on this subject. - A. Z. Herald.
