This vessel, wheTtriel at the measured mile under steam and canvas attained & e.eed ef fifteen miles an hour; ner ordinary speed is ten knots an hour. She has compound engines, and bums 5 cwfc. of coal an hour. I was told by the Superintendent of Trinity Wharf, who has been thirty-two years in the service «n! cjuding ton years as master of one of the Trinity sieatners), that the Stella was in every respect their handtest and best vessel. She is about thesiseo! 7«w I T tl^L ntended io . Pwcure for the New had not been called for when I left London. I accordingly wrote to the AgentGeneral and suggested that he should procure i?!Lj )ftrti^ l ? rS : t 0f i tllo Stblla *»» the Trinity Board, and invite tenders f,.r the building of a similar vessel, I did this became I considered that a vessel of chis kind, which had rood H peed on a low consumption of coal, was an excellent sea boat and had been fitted with every necessary applian-e which long ex.ioneiice oould suggest, was sure to be well suited for our use; besides, in adopting the bte'la as a model, there won d be a greater degree of certainty of our procuring a gord serviceable boat than if we adopted thj most carefully prepared plan by a person not practically acquainted with the requirements of the lighthouse service." SUPPOSED WBECK. It is feared that the wreckagß on Earamea beach forty miles north of Westport, show that the shin La Hogue has been lost. She was 1,331 tons burden commanded by Captain Vfagscaff, and was due at Sydney on the 2nd instant. She was then 92 days out. She probably encountered the late gnleoff the Australian coast.
